The methodology we use works, even in times of extremes. We were in print in January 2006 warning our clients of the coming Great Recession. Our forecast predicted the low point of the recession as well as the rate of rise coming out of it. Imagine if you had known those critical points so far in advance.

“In a world where everything we see is biased, truth is hard to find. It’s sad that so many people and corporations are profiting from dividing us. Thank you all for staying true and having a moral compass. We can’t change the weather but we can change our sails. However if our compass is off, we’ll never know the direction to go.” – ITR Subscriber
