About Gerald Celente
Gerald Celente, a pioneer trend strategist, founded the Trends Research Institute in 1980. He is the author of the national bestseller Trends 2000 and Trend Tracking: Far Better than Megatrends (Warner Books), and publisher of the internationally distributed quarterly Trends Journal.
For more than three decades, Celente has built his reputation as a fearless teller of the truth, an accurate forecaster and an analyst whose expertise crosses many arenas, from economics to politics, from health to science, and more. Most important, Celente is a pure political atheist. Unencumbered by political dogma, rigid ideology or conventional wisdom, Celente—whose motto is “think for yourself”—observes and analyzes the current events forming future trends, seeing them for what they are – not as what he’d like them to be.
At the heart of Celente’s work – and his remarkable durability as an innovative, accurate forecaster – is his unique perspectives on current events forming future trends. He developed the Globalnomic® methodology to identify, track, forecast and manage trends.To this day, this methodology stands by itself for its accuracy, vision and penetrating insights into the trends taking shape across the globe.
Covering scores of diversified trends fields, Gerald Celente and the Trends Research Institute provide trend research studies and consulting services to individuals, professional organizations, businesses and governments worldwide. Celente also designed the nation’s first professional course in trend forecasting.
Prior to founding the Institute, Celente was a Government Affairs Specialist and an Executive Assistant to the Secretary of the New York State Senate. He earned an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Law from the National University of Health Sciences and a Masters in Public Administration from West Virginia University.
In the final analysis, it’s about the quality, frequency and accuracy of the forecasts Celente has made. He earned his reputation as “The most trusted name in trends” by accurately forecasting hundreds of social, business, consumer, environmental, economic, political, entertainment, and technology trends.

| 0:00.0 | We are speaking with Gerald Salente, the renowned Trans Forecaster, who needs little introduction. |
| 0:14.0 | He is the founder of the Trans Research Institute, which publishes the TransJournal. |
| 0:18.7 | If you want to know history before it happens, go to |
| 0:21.1 | Trendsresearch.com. It's great to talk to you again, Gerald, and welcome. |
| 0:25.1 | Thank you, Hovoya. |
| 0:26.6 | You successfully predicted the 1987 and 2008 financial crashes. For a decade now, you've |
| 0:33.1 | been saying that the 208 crash was a warm-up, that the sick patient was merely given aspirin while |
| 0:40.4 | the underlying and fatal tumor or debt continues to spread. Now, nobody knows when the next |
| 0:45.9 | shoe will fall. However, in the near term, your Trends Journal, the summer edition, is predicting |
| 0:52.3 | a market correction while the mainstream media is predicting |
| 0:55.8 | a market crash. Could you tell us a little bit about this? Yes, the markets have gone up |
| 1:02.8 | since Trump got elected very strongly and is based on the belief that he's going to cut taxes so the rich get richer and the corporations |
| 1:13.0 | get bigger. |
| 1:14.0 | He's going to build an infrastructure program to fix our rotted third world infrastructure, |
| 1:21.2 | and that he was going to deregulate a number of major pieces of legislation that would give, again, the corporations more freedom |
| 1:31.3 | and the banks to steal more of our money. But so far, he's been unsuccessful in any of those things. |
| 1:38.5 | However, market valuations continue to rise because capital earnings aren't that bad. |
| 1:46.2 | And the reason they're not that bad and the reason the markets are going up is that money is still very cheap. |
| 1:54.0 | We're still dealing with, you know, what, one or one point two five percent interest rates? |
| 2:00.2 | That's nothing. You know, considering they've only raised |
| 2:03.6 | interest rates that much in 10 years, and when you account for inflation, even using their |
| 2:10.3 | phony numbers, you really have negative interest rates. So as long as they keep pumping money |
