James Dale Davidson

James Dale Davidson is an American private investor and investment writer, co-writer of the newsletter Strategic Investment,[1] and co-author with William Rees-Mogg of The Sovereign Individual, The Great Reckoning (1991),[1][2][3] and Blood in the Streets: Investment Profits in a World Gone Mad (1987[4]). He also wrote The Plague of the Black Debt - How to Survive the Coming Depression in 1993 where he incorrectly predicted that as part of a "deep depression...Clinton is going to be a one-term president...I am as sure of this as I am that the sun will rise tomorrow" and that the national debt would increase by a trillion dollars during Clinton's "one-term" presidency. He also wrote in the book that Boris Yeltsin, President of the Russian Federation, would lose his job and that Russia will come under the control of a nationalist, militarist regime. He is also credited with correctly predicting the U.S. Subprime mortgage crisis, though much earlier than it actually occurred.[5] He is also the founder and former head of the National Taxpayers Union.[6] On his website, Davidson is said [7] to be a "famous economist", and although he written several books on economic analysis, he has not taken any formal university degree in that field.
