Harry S Dent

Harry S. Dent, Jr. brings a very lively and common sense approach to helping financial advisors and everyday investors understand the fundamental trends driving our economy. He ties the baby boom generation's massive spending, saving and debt trends along with the fast-paced information revolution, the pervasive workplace changes, and the coming population shift outside of suburbs into one simple, cohesive picture that leaves the audience feeling very clear and confident about the future. He is especially good at handling questions and customizing presentations to different audiences. For financial advisors, he paints a very clear picture of how the role of the financial advisor will evolve. For investors he summarizes the time-tested principles for systematically investing in long term bull markets.

Harry Dent is the founder and president of the H.S. Dent Foundation whose mission is, "Helping People Understand Change." Using years of hands-on business experience, Dent developed a new way of understanding the economy and forecasting what lies ahead based on consumers, which he outlined in his book The Great Boom Ahead.  In that book almost twenty years ago he accurately forecasted the unanticipated "Boom" of the 1990s and even called for the next great depression to start in 2008. 

Dent has authored several best sellers including The Great Depression Ahead in 2008, and he keeps his audience informed through his monthly newsletter, the HS Dent Forecast. In his latest book 'The Great Crash Ahead' he outlines why government stimulus is doomed to failure and the economic havoc that lies ahead.  

Mr. Dent regularly lends his economic expertise to the media on television, in print, and on the radio, and is sought after as a panelist and speaker for international forums around the world.  He graduated from the University of South Carolina and earned his MBA from Harvard Business School.

Mr. Dent's view is refreshing in that it counters the current rash of doom and gloom scenarios for the 90's. His basic premise regarding the importance of the baby boom generation is well thought out and creatively presented.
