Economic Prognosticator of the Day

This is my new favorite Amazon page: it lists the top books by Harry S Dent. It’s best read countdown-style, from the bottom up. The top three are great: in third place is “Bubble After Bubble in The Ongoing Bubble Boom: Oil Bursts, the Housing Bubble Fades and Now Stocks Emerge Into a Greater Bubble that Finally Ends in 2010“. That one was published in 2005. Then in second place comes Dent’s 2006 book, “The Next Great Bubble Boom: How to Profit from the Greatest Boom in History: 2006-2010“. Finally is his most recent book, published in January this year: “The Great Depression Ahead: How to Prosper in the Crash Following the Greatest Boom in History“.

But don’t worry, you don’t need to buy his books. If you register by April 20, you can attend Dent’s seminar in Scottsdale, Arizona for a mere $1,045! Hear Harry talk — in person — about how to “protect your finances” from the current “spike in energy costs”! Of course, he doesn’t tell you how to protect your finances from snake-oil salesmen. But maybe you can learn that the hard way.
