Ian Gordon, Analyst & Chairman, The Long Wave Group
It wasn’t until 1983 that Ian entered the financial realm. He worked as a stock broker in Ontario for eight years before working in Management for three more years in Toronto and Vancouver. It was 1998 when Ian determined that the Long Wave Theory was too compelling to ignore any longer. He began writing the Long Wave Analyst and re-entered the sales side of the business. He accurately predicted the end of the massive equity bull market and also accurately predicted the beginnings of the current gold bull market. By 2003, Ian was the #1 performer at Canaccord Capital (Canada’s largest independent brokerage firm)—a position he maintained until he left the firm in late 2005. The same Long Wave principles that have guided Ian for the last decade are just as relevant today as they were a decade ago.
