George Gilder is Chairman of Gilder Publishing LLC. Gilder Publishing produces the Gilder Technology Report (GilderTech.com) and the annual Gilder/Forbes Telecosm Conference, both of which offer elite analysis of ascending and disruptive technologies affecting management and investment decisions of investors, executives, engineers and entrepreneurs. George Gilder is also a Senior Fellow at Discovery Institute, where he directs Discovery's program on high technology and public policy.

While attending Harvard University, George Gilder studied under Henry Kissinger and helped found Advance, a journal of political thought, which he edited and helped to re-establish in Washington, DC after his graduation in 1962. During this period he co-authored (with Bruce Chapman) The Party That Lost Its Head. He later returned to Harvard as a fellow at the Kennedy Institute of Politics and editor of the Ripon Forum. In the 1960s, George Gilder also served as a speechwriter for several prominent official and candidates, including Nelson Rockefeller, George Romney, and Richard Nixon. In the 1970s, as an independent researcher and writer, George Gilder began an excursion into the causes of poverty, which resulted in his books Men and Marriage (1972) and Visible Man (1978); and hence, of wealth, which led to Wealth and Poverty (1981).

George Gilder pioneered the formulation of supply-side economics when he served as Chairman of the Lehrman Institute's Economic Roundtable, as Program Director for the Manhattan Institute, and as a frequent contributor to A.B. Laffer's economic reports and the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal. In the 1980s, he also consulted leaders of America's high technology businesses.

In 1996, George Gilder was made a Fellow of the International Engineering Consortium. The investigation into wealth creation led Gilder into deeper examination of the lives of present-day entrepreneurs, culminating in many articles and a book, The Spirit of Enterprise (1986). The book was revised and republished in 1992. That many of the most interesting current entrepreneurs were to be found in high technology fields also led George Gilder, over several years, to examine this subject in depth. In his book, Microcosm (1989), he explored the quantum roots of the new electronic technologies. A subsequent book, Life After Television, was a prophecy of the future of computers and telecommunications and a prelude to his book on the future of telecommunications, Telecosm (2000).

The Gilder Technology Report is a monthly technology investment newsletter that seeks new breakthroughs stemming from paradigms of technological progress that are reshaping the global economy and opening the way to huge gains in wealth. The Gilder Technology Report seeks venture equities that project orders-of-magnitude gains. Focusing on companies and technologies that are pivotal to the new era, it is written by George Gilder, Nick Tredennick, Charlie Burger, and Bret Swanson. The Gilder Technology Report carries a table with summations of ascendant technologies and representative companies in the Gilder Paradigm.

There are quite a variety of investment newsletter services available to investors today, which achieve a decent track record. In reality, however, many newsletters have not translated well for most investors that subscribe to them. The reason? Money management. Without the proper position sizing using the right money management tool, you are only dealing with half the formula for success.

Let's face it: if there was one consistently successful investment newsletter, then the word would spread rapidly, and that one investment newsletter would have more customers than the population of China. The reality is that there has never been such a success. Why? Because in the final analysis, 8 out of 10 investors fail due to one simple reason: position sizing.

The majority of investors who subscribe to investment newsletters think that the process is as simple as "Just give me your recommendations and let me become as successful as you are". Unfortunately, as money managers know, entry points account for very little in the overall success of a portfolio. Find out why!
