I agree most of Dent’s specific and short-term forecasts are hogwash, but I like to consider the general demographic trends he outlines.
I think keeping an eye on the Gen-Y’ers will pay off. Attention on Boomers trends for investment advice seems to permeate media and will be known to all, so not much of a chance to get ahead of others in general.
I too feel really young/old sometimes. e.g. – I feel young when I play softball, but I feel really old the next morning.
