Kurt Richebächer

Dr. Kurt Richebächer followed world currency and credit markets for nearly 60 years. A trusted voice of sanity in the midst of financial chaos, many analysts and commentators depended on his keen insights and research; and so he founded The Richebächer Letter. Beginning in 1998, he made a series of economic predictions that came true with startling accuracy. He predicted the collapse of Brazil's currency, the real, in the late 1990s. He warned that the stock market was overheating in January 2000 - just before the major indexes fell sharply from their highs. And he foresaw the U.S. dollar's sharp fall against the euro. On Aug. 24, 2007, he passed away at the age of 88.
