About Sid Klein

After studying political science, philosophy and psychology at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, Sid Klein joined the securities industry as a financial advisor in 1982. Throughout his career, Mr. Klein wrote market commentary for his clients, for over a decade as Sid Klein’s Daily Fax. Since 1988, the Japanese equity markets became his virtually singular focus.

Mr. Klein gained particular recognition for having forecast and identified the peak of the Japanese secular bull market in 1990 and the key cyclical low of October 1998, each within a day. Finally, on March 31, 2003, Mr. Klein identified the perfect low in the Great Japanese Secular Bear Market. Along with his timely daily comments, Sid came to be an occasional commentator in the media, most notably in Barron’s (US) and The Globe and Mail (Canada), in which his work has also been published. The accuracy and breadth of his work led to today’s ongoing coverage by CNBC US, CNBC World-Europe, and in Gold-Eagle, as well.

Apart from the Japanese markets, Mr. Klein identified the secular peak in the Dow Jones in 2000, as well as its low in 2002, each within one day or two, respectively.

Alongside these equity market achievements, he turned bullish on precious metals-related investments at gold's higher low, in January 2002, when Mr. Klein also turned bullish on the Euro, Swiss Franc and Yen. With unsurpassed precision, Sid has forecast and identified each key turning point in gold over these past 51 months (Gold excerpts summary).

Mr. Klein’s views today are secularly bullish on Japan (equity, venture capital, real estate and reorganization-related securities), as well as gold, silver and shares in related mining companies. Simultaneously, Mr. Klein is secularly bearish on New York, and Western markets by-and-large.
