A Case of Mistaken Identity - The "Other" Gary HalbertSomeone doing an Internet search on just my first and last names - Gary Halbert - may become quite frustrated before learning that there are actually two Gary Halberts on the Internet. Gary C. Halbert is DEAD – Gary D. Halbert is Alive & Well. |

How Forecasts & Trends E-Letter StartedShortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, Gary D. Halbert began writing the Forecasts & Trends E-Letter (formerly known as Special Updates). Because of misinformation in the media and so much news that was not being reported about 9-11 and the potential for more terrorist attacks, Gary decided he needed to be able to communicate with his clients more frequently than once a month in a mailed newsletter. So he began to write 2-3 e-mail E-Letters each month. Initially, the Forecasts & Trends E-Letter focused on the 9-11 terrorist attacks, national security, the War on Terror and related topics. Due to his many contacts and subscriptions to expensive news and research publications, Gary was able to bring his clients information that was not widely available.

Gary's Latest EditionBiggest Political Gamble of the Decade March 9, 2010 Last Wednesday, President Obama implored Congress to pass his latest healthcare plan, even if by only a majority vote (51) in the Senate - the process known as "reconciliation" - despite the fact that a majority of Americans oppose the plan. Democrats appear willing to pass the sweeping healthcare plan even though polls show they could lose their majority rule in the House of Representatives in the November elections. President Obama doesn't seem to care either. This week, we look at the details of Obama's latest healthcare proposal and ponder why he and the Democrats in Congress believe they are smarter than we Americans are, and why they are willing to risk everything to pass their government-run healthcare plan, when they really should be focused on the economy and creating jobs. And I've got some great poll results on healthcare - such as 57% think it will "hurt the economy" and 61% want Congress to "start over" - and a really good editorial at the end.
