Gerald Celente (born November 29, 1946) is an American trend forecaster, publisher of the Trends Journal, business consultant and author who makes predictions about the global financial markets and other events of historical importance.

Celente was born in The Bronx, New York City, New York. He had early political experience running a mayoral campaign in Yonkers, New York and served as executive assistant to the secretary of the New York State Senate, which Celente called the worst job he ever had.

In 1980 Celente founded The Trends Research Institute (at first called the Socio-Economic Research Institute of America), now located in Kingston, New York, publisher of the Trends Journal which forecasts and analyzes business, socioeconomic, political and other trends.

Ah, but can Gerald Celente fart the Star Spangled Banner ?
From what I read by him last year I thought it would all be over by now.
He was hyperbolic for 2009 and 2010, unfortunately.
He’s right that collapse is coming. I think he underestimates the ability of certain powers to prop up things up temporarily.
I am still waiting for his 2010 collapse of the commercial real estate market and the 9/11 level terrorist attack ...
