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 EditionThe "Catch 22" Housing Slump Is Not Over February 2, 2010 We begin this week by looking at the latest report on the economy. GDP rose a bit more than expected in the 4Q, up 5.7% (annual rate). Despite that, many economists are downgrading their forecasts for growth in 2010. Following that, we will take a close look at the latest reports on the housing market. Despite the improvement in the economy, home prices continue to fall in most areas of the country. The housing slump is still not over, and this is a big reason why consumer spending is not likely to recover to pre-recession levels anytime soon. If you are concerned about the housing market, you will definitely want to read this week's E-Letter.
