Ian Gordon is the next guest on The Everything Financial Radio Show, hosted by financial advisor Dennis Tubbergen.

Grand Rapids, MI -- (SBWire) -- 04/23/2012 --While financial advisor Dennis Tubbergen hosts many exciting guests on his Everything Financial Radio Show, one of his favorite – and frequent – guests is financial analyst Ian Gordon, who just happens to be Tubbergen’s next guest.

Gordon is a fascinating man in his own right. The son of a British military officer, Ian followed in his father’s footsteps and graduated from The Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. After serving as a Platoon Commander in the Cameronians, Ian immigrated to Canada, where he entered the History Department at the University of Manitoba.

During this period, Gordon began to study the historical trends that ultimately provided the foundation for his Longwave Theory. After working as a stock broker and then a manager in Toronto and Vancouver, he began writing the Longwave Analyst and re-entered the sales side of the business. Gordon’s theory equates economic cycles to the seasons and backs it up with historical data, stating we are now in “economic winter.”

Tubbergen, who is CEO of USA Wealth Management, LLC, an author and a radio show host, frequently discusses financial and political issues in his online financial blog and his Moving Markets weekly newsletter.

In his April 11, 2012 blog, Tubbergen takes a look at the fact that the Eurozone has reached its highest unemployment level in 15 years and calls on some of Gordon’s terminology to explain the situation.

“In an economic winter season, when debt is purged from the system, high unemployment is a symptom,” notes Tubbergen. “Let’s compare this to the last economic winter season of the 1930s. According to the website u-s-history.com, the unemployment rate in the 1930s in the United States went from a little over 3% in 1929 to almost 16% in 1931 and almost 25% in 1933.

“The unemployment rate in the U.S. didn’t fall below 10% until 1941. In Europe (today), some countries are already experiencing unemployment rates at those levels, not seen since the 1930s,” adds Tubbergen. “For example, in Greece the official unemployment rate has topped 20% and in Spain the official rate is more than 23%.”
