Interview: Ian Gordon by Jayanthi Gopalakrishnan

Interview: Ian Gordon by Jayanthi Gopalakrishnan If this recession seems like it’s going on forever, Ian Gordon of The Long Wave Analyst newsletter will give you good news and bad news. First, the good news: It won’t last forever. The bad news: It’s going to hurt a lot more before it gets better. The good news: More likely than not it will only happen once in your lifetime. The bad news: The same goes for that phenomenal bull market that just passed. And Gordon has more to say, including warnings about the probable collapse of the worldwide economy. Ian Gordon was educated in England. He attended the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, and was commissioned into the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles). He resigned his commission in 1967 and emigrated to Canada that year; he has been in the Canadian brokerage industry since 1983. He is currently a vice president at Canaccord Capital in Vancouver, BC. Gordon, a long-time student of Kondratieff’s economic cycle, began writing his newsletter The Long Wave Analyst in 1998; the newsletter now reaches some 4,000 readers worldwide. Editor Jayanthi Gopalakrishnan of STOCKS & COMMODITIES spoke with Gordon on February 25, 2003, via telephone.
