Bert Dohmen is a serious analyst and a trader. You've probably seen him on national TV such as CNBC, Neil Cavuto's show on FOXNEWS, CNN, or read his views in Barron's, the Wall Street Journal, Investor's Business Daily, Business Week, etc. He is a professional trader, investor, and analyst. As founder of Dohmen Capital Research , he has been giving his analysis and forecasts to traders and investors for over 40 years. Bert Dohmen looks behind the scenes of the global investment markets. He analyzes cross-market relationships, global correlations, and especially credit market data which give him superb clues as to what is likely to happen in various markets that are ignored by other analysts. Bert Dohmen has been called "a leading Fed Watcher" by the Wall Street Journal. Federal Reserve Board actions, world-wide politics and economies, along with fundamental and technical analysis give him the important clues. His degree was in chemistry, with minors in physics and math. Thus, reading charts was what he liked. He started investing when he was at Graduate School at the university. He was unsatisfied with the typical analysis of earnings, dividends, etc. because this was data of the past. He was searching for a way to detect what the big, smart money was doing today. He discovered an old book in the university library about something called "technical chart analysis." It was a classic, written several decades earlier. He immediately recognized it as what he had been looking for: using volume and price data changes, he could see what was happen now, not what earnings did last year. He understood immediately why the different chart patterns in the markets worked. There was a simple logic that he loved. Thus he can predict a change in the price trend before the news is made public. Bert Dohmen's analysis often goes totally contrary to accepted "Wall Street wisdom." He is the original Fed Watcher. His predictions of Federal Reserve policy have been astounding. He considers Fed policy the most important fundamental factor. Bert says that it isn't easy, as he has to anticipate not only what policy should be, but also the mistakes the Fed is likely to make. Bert Dohmen is the publisher of the WELLINGTON LETTER, an award-winning investment newsletter with an impressive 42 year record. He is also the author of the #1 best seller book "Prelude to Meltdown" and "Financial Apocalypse".
