About Me

Founder of the DOHMEN CAPITAL RESEARCH group, which provides sophisticated investment analysis and advice for traders and investors, world-wide. The firms best known service, Bert Dohmens WELLINGTON LETTER, has received numerous awards of distinction, and is now in its 30th year.



He has frequently been a guest on CNBC, CNN, Neil Cavuto on FOX Network, and Louis Rukeysers WALL STREET WEEK. His views and analysis have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Barrons, Business Week, Forbes, Money Magazine, Investors Business Daily, and many other publications.



Bert Dohmen is best known for his contrarian views on the markets, the economy, and Federal Reserve policy. He has been called a leading Fed watcher by the Wall Street Journal. His forecasts are sometimes shocking, but correct. He has correctly predicted recessions when the Fed Chairman testified that there is no recession in sight.



A Sampling of his Contrarian track record which have made him:



In early 2007, he forecasted the subprime mortgage disaster, a very important market top in the summer, and then a plunge and potential credit market freeze-up. It happened!



In 1978 he predicted that U.S. T-bonds would decline 44%-50% in price, a view which was ridiculed by Wall Street. But it happened!



In 1979 he predicted that the prime rate would rise above 20%, while most economists declared anything above 12 % was not possible. The prime rate hit 20% in 1980.



In 1981 he predicted a 20 year period of disinflation in the U.S., to be followed by the next cyclical rise in inflation. Gold, the best indicator of future inflation, made its 20 year bottom in 2001, exactly 20 years later. Gold has tripled in price since that time.



In September 1987 he wrote that the Feds policy would lead to a market crash, which occurred the following month. More recently, he predicted the bear market of 2000-2002, warning in March of 2000 that the Fed would cause another market crash. In October 2002, one day after the bottom, he advised to go bargain hunting. The headline of his WELLINGTON LETTER was: Reflation Brings Great Opportunities.



Bert says he relies on his analysis of Fed policy for the long term scenario, and on technical analysis for precise timing. Bert Dohmen has been a featured keynote speaker and many of the largest investment conferences. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry, and attended the Graduate School of Business, where he discovered why the most successful business people dont have advanced degrees.
