Kurt Richebacher

Dr. Kurt Richebacher, Editor of The Richebacher Letter, is a world-renowned author, economist, and international banker. His work is regularly found in The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, the U.S. edition of The Fleet Street Letter and other respected financial publications.A native of Germany, Richebacher’s background includes serving as chief economist at the German Banking Association, and later in the same position at the prestigious Dresdner Bank.
Richebacher would then branch out on his own, cultivating his incendiary views on economics and finance in The Richebacher Letter.
For nearly 60 years, Dr. Richebacher has followed world currency and credit markets, and never shied away from an informed opinion. Several years ago, Dr. Richebacher predicted the stock market would tank, and he never lost a cent during its collapse. His readers who followed his advice are still thankful to this day. Kurt Richebacher also hawks every move made by Alan Greenspan. He currently advises his readers on how to profit from, among other things, Greenspan’s errors.
Richebacher’s readers count on his bias-free insight, opinions and predictions each month to get the most out of their investments. As analyst Leo Hood once said, “You may not like what he has to say, but ignore him at your own peril.”
Some of Kurt Richebacher’s most timely predictions follow:
- In September 1996, Kurt Richebacher warned that the Asian Tigers “were teetering on the edge of a cliff.” In March 1997, he alerted his readers these countries were about to face “tremendous currency turmoil.” Sure enough, in July 1997 the currencies began to fall like dominoes and French national newspaper Le Figaro began calling Kurt Richebacher “the man who predicted the Asian crisis.”
- In July 1998 Dr. Kurt Richebacher saw problems developing in Brazil. His research showed that its external debt was out of control, and its currency, the real, was is serious jeopardy. The real crashed in early 1999 and holders of Brazilian stocks were badly burned.
- In January 2000 he warned investors that the Internet stocks’ days were numbered. “Next Christmas,” he predicted, “very many of them will not be around.” In March 2000, the bubble popped tech companies collapsed and declared bankruptcy in droves and $8 trillion of investors’ wealth disappeared
Dr. Richebacher analyzes the same data that government and Wall Street analysts employ in their forecasts. But Richebacher reaches beyond the numbers, revealing what the mainstream “experts” fail to find.
