The Dent Paperback Library Includes Four Best Selling Titles by Harry S Dent, Jr

The Next Great Bubble Boom-Paperback

"Nobody called the 90s boom and bubble like Harry Dent and now he is calling for another unexpected bull market. All investors should take notice." David Bach, New York Times best selling author of The Automatic Millionaire

Harry S. Dent, Jr. became renown for forecasting the great bull market and economic progress of the 1990s in late 1992 in The Great Boom Ahead. His innovative economic concepts explain in common sense terms how the spending and productivity cycles of new generations drive economic booms, and then every other generation the explosion of new technologies like autos and computers into the mainstream of our economy creates a bubble boom like this one. Dent shows how these cycles are highly predictable. Since 1988 he has forecasted that this unprecedented boom would continue into 2008 or 2009. He has not changed his forecasts and the recent stock market crash creates what he calls the "Investment Opportunity of a Lifetime".

In this book,  Dent shows how the "tech wreck" and stock crash of 2000 - 2002 was a natural stage in the rapid emergence of new technologies much like the crash of 1919 - 1921 following a tech bubble, which then saw the dramatic "Roaring 20s" bull market and the final bubble of the last economic revolution. He forecasts one more great bubble ahead and the highest returns in history for investors and businesses just when economic experts are predicting a slower economy and modest investment returns at best ahead. But he also forecasts an even greater and more enduring bust after 2009 when the massive baby boom generation will have finished their spending cycle and the tech revolution will have fully penetrated this cycle of growth.

Dent shows how the technological advances of recent times will create "The Millionaire Economy" over many decades to come just as we saw the most dramatic gains in average incomes after the 1930s crash in the last economy. Ultimately even everyday people will have incomes and a net worth closer to the affluent sectors today. Dent shows affluent and everyday people how to profit from the last great bull market in our lifetimes and how to prepare for and even thrive in the crash to follow. As in his past books, he extends his recommendations into life and business strategies, including where you should be living when economic conditions get worse and terrorist risks rise more dramatically, and how to give back to society in your later years when the needs for philanthropy will be the greatest. He even examines the ultimate question: What comes after success and self-actualization!

The Great Boom Ahead (Paperback)

The Great Boom Ahead, by Harry S. Dent, Jr., was originally published in late 1993, when books like Bankruptcy 1995 were the greatest best-selling business books. At that time Dent was forecasting in his lectures that the Dow would hit between 8,500 and 12,000 by the year 2007 or 2008. And people thought he was wildly bullish. As of December 1998 the Dow had already hit as high as 9400, following the greatest rise in stocks in history, which occurred between late 1994 and mid-1998. As you could probably guess, Dent estimates for the Dow at the top of this Baby Boom Generation's spending trends will be around 41,000 by 2008! In The Great Boom Ahead, Dent first revealed his revolutionary research on:

• The Generation Wave
• The Spending Wave
• The Innovation Wave
• The Purchasing Power Dividend
• Japan's Bust
• The New Real Estate Boom
• The New Customized Economy

Taking the exciting research further, Dent teaches the reader how to profit from the impending growth boom fueled by the Baby Boom Generation reaching the peak of their spending:

• The Global Boom Scenario
• Investment Strategies
• Growth Markets
• Business Strategies
• Reinventing Corporations

The Roaring 2000s Investor: Strategies for the Life You Want (Paperback)

Amazon.com Review
In The Roaring 2000s, America's favorite optimist, Harry S. Dent Jr., makes the case that demographics drive all economic activity and that, thanks to the current baby boom, we're set for one whale of a good time over the next 10 years. In The Roaring 2000s Investor, Dent shows how to cash in on this boom, then prepare for the worst when the downturn finally hits in the latter part of the decade. Dent believes that the best investment opportunities exist in the stock market--specifically technology, financial services, health care, and leisure stocks. But watch out after 2008, because that's when he thinks the bottom falls out. For these tough times, Dent recommends a shift away from stocks to out-of-favor investments such as bonds and commercial real estate.

In addition to investment information, Dent includes a good dose of living advice. He counsels not to be the millionaire next-door, counting change in a darkened living room while the greatest economic boom in history roars past. He writes, "Life should be interesting; investment and financial plan should be boring." Dent's prescription: Understand what drives the economy, then get a financial advisor and learn to enjoy life. Other subjects he touches on include asset allocation, international investing, and tax planning. Some might find Dent's reliance on demographics as an economic barometer a bit too simplistic. But for others, The Roaring 2000s Investor just might be the perfect framework for building an investment strategy into the next millennium. --Harry C. Edwards
