The Dow hitting 40,000 by the end of the decade
The Nasdaq advancing at least ten times from October 2001 lows to around 13,500, and potentially as high as 20,ooo by 2009
Another strong advance in stocks in 2005 with a significant correction into around September/October 2006
The Great Boom willl resurge into its final and strongest stage in 2007, and even more fully in 2008, lasting untill late 2009 to early 2010
In The Next Bubble Boom, Dent reveals how the economic growth of the late 1990s was a prelude to the great boom around the corner and how all of us can reap its benefits.©2004 Harry S.

Reseñas de la Crítica

David Bach New York Times bestselling author of The Automatic Millionaire Nobody called the nineties boom and bubble like Harry Dent, and now he is calling for another unexpected bull market. All investors should take notice.

Precision is a bit much

Dent claims to be able to tell the future based on some long term trends. He claims a bit too much. The future is neither a linear reflection of the past nor as exact as he would like. However, if you ignore the hype - there are some very interesting speculations on a number of economic trends.

Difficult to listen to

this book is very technical and difficult to listen to. The ideas and the reasoning is ok, but everything is based on analysis of past events and the assumption that booms and busts will happen under the same circumstances, and in the same way as they did 200 years ago. The author claims that booms and busts can be predicted and will happen acording to a specified timeplan, almost like the movement of the stars. The weakest point in this book is that it doesn?t consider other factors such as international trade, trends, public opinion, war, terrorism etc. Maybe he?s right and these factors will have no notable influence on the global economic situation. We wil know in year 2012.

Plan accordingly

I make my living in the enterprise high-tech sector. I know little about finance. The author's opinion for the most part are presented logically and I for one will factor them into my medium and long-term financial planning, including his comments on real estate. Do yourself a favor and be sure to download the accompanying booklet (with graphs) first!

The Next Great Bubble Boom

I found it informative, well researched and eye opening, it's changed my view of investing and now i want to do more research to confirm some of the comments, i highly recommend as i think it's relevant and timely since i am one of the baby boomers however I'm at the tail end so it may be worse for me.

This sounded like a broken record

I was hoping for some insight, but if you listened to the first 2 or 3 minutes you pretty much get the jist of the book. The book makes the comparison between the the stock market crash of 1918-1921 to the crash of 2000-2002. It then says that like the 1922-1929 boom there will be another boom from 2005 to 2008 after which there will be a major crash. The book then goes on to repeat this message another 50 times. I was pretty much sick of this book after an hour and a half. If this boom-bust cycle had happened a bit more often in the past I might be inclined to believe the trend, however drawing the conclusions that he does from only one example in the past makes a very weak case for a coming boom...where suppossedly the DOW will hit 40,000 in the next 4-5 years.
