Dr. Richebächer’s Work Lives On Dear Reader, Over the course of his 70-year career, Dr. Kurt Richebächer earned a reputation as a master analyst and prognosticator. Each month he dove headfirst into the government’s own statistics, exposing financial risks and dangers that most people had never even considered. Unfortunately, Dr. Richebächer’s tireless quest to reveal the truth came to an end on Aug. 24, 2007, when he passed away at the age of 88. But while it was a terrible blow, it was not the end of his work. In fact, we at Agora Financial have taken steps to ensure Dr. Richebächer’s lifetime of research was not in vain. First, to carry on The Richebächer Letter, we hired Rob Parenteau. He holds a CFA and spent 24 years as the Chief U.S. Economist and Investment Strategist for RCM Capital Management, an asset management company. He is also a Research Associate of the highly respected Levy Economics Institute. And he is committed to following the stellar example Dr. Richebächer set. But that’s not the only way we’re honoring Dr. Richebächer’s memory. We’ve worked hard to collect every issue of The Richebächer Letter dating back to 1987. And we also acquired Dr. Richebächer’s complete reading library — a treasure trove of economic books filled with his private notes and comments. Our plan is to make these invaluable resources available to whomever needs them. So please keep watching this space for updates on these exciting developments. If you’re a Richebächer Letter member and have any questions about your subscription, please feel free to call our customer service center at 1-800-708-1020.
