I have long viewed Ian as a "mentor" as he is a rare breed in the investment advisor arena. Ian was willing to speak and write about a coming secular bear market in the North American indices when few others were cognizant or brave enough to admit that the end of the bull was here. He has long proclaimed that debt would be the undoing of the US banking system and the economy. Given the banking crisis we are now witnessing his words have taken on a life force of their own and if you care to listen Ian will tell you how it will all end.

The Longwave Economic and Financial Cycle, based on the renowned Kondratieff Cycle, has repeated itself four times in recent history. As a naturally occurring cycle, it will continue to do so. Understanding the Longwave Principle and its many components allows us to pinpoint exactly where we are in the cycle and what the best investments are in the current economic climate. It also acts as a predictive model, giving us a glimpse into the future.

A globally renowned economic forecaster, author and speaker, our founder, Ian Gordon, has garnered praise from many notable sources, including Robert Prechter in his book 'Conquer the Crash' and Eric Sprott, Chairman of Sprott Asset Management Capital. A student of economic and investment history, as well as a former investment advisor, Ian provides strategic investment advice to international and domestic fund managers, and numerous gold companies.
