Big Call Bennett
"BIG CALL BENNETT" is how Peter Switzer would introduce Clifford, weekly, on the Switzer Show. On the 10th of March, 2009, Clifford emphatically declared, and for the first time, that a New Grand Bull Market had just begun in US stocks. It was just two days after the absolute low. A champion of the bull market for the next ten years, Clifford's forecasts of a 5-15 year bull market and a Dow Jones target of 30,000 have proven themselves.

First in world to forecast the Australian dollar would go above parity. From 76 cents. At a time when every major bank thought it was impossible to break above 80 cents.
First in world to forecast the Dow Jones had started a new 5-15 year bull market, on 10 March 2009, just two days after the absolute low, live on the Switzer Show on SkyBusiness. And at the start of the decade forecast an end of decade Dow Jones target of 30,000. The Dow jones high in 2020 has been 29,568.
Clifford calls it as he sees it. No one gets it right all the time.
From Clifford's updates you will always be receiving a decisive view. Often quite distinct and ahead of the mainstream financial news reporting.
Clifford calls it "look out the window" economics.
