IAN GORDON

The son of a British military officer, Ian followed in his father’s footsteps and graduated from The Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. He served as a Platoon Commander in the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles). Four years later in 1967 Ian immigrated to Canada where he entered the History Department at the University of Manitoba—a decision that has profoundly impacted his career to this day. It was during this period that he began to study the historical trends that ultimately provided the foundation for his Longwave theory.

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 Longwave Theory was too compelling to ignore any longer. He began writing the Longwave Analyst and re-entered the sales side of the business. He accurately predicted the end of the massive equity bull market in 2000 and also accurately predicted the beginnings of the current gold bull market. By 2003, Ian was the #1 broker at Canaccord Capital (Canada’s largest independent brokerage firm)—a position he maintained until he left the firm in late 2005.

The need to access further institutional investment capital, vital to supporting Ian’s financings prompted him to move his team to Bolder Investment Partners in late 2005. The move to Bolder proved very successful for Ian and his team, accelerating the momentum that had been previously gained at Canaccord. Ian served as a Vice President of Bolder for three years.

The same Longwave principles which have guided Ian for the last decade are just as relevant today as they were in the past. These principles very accurately predicted the collapse of the financial markets—a prediction that factored heavily into Ian’s investment strategies over previous 15 years. Ian is continuing to focus his attention on using the same Longwave principles to help define the economic and financial future. gies over previous 15 years.
