Belkin Report
Michael Belkin   Michael Belkin Founder Michael, could be described as an iconoclast, which is someone who “attacks cherished beliefs or traditional institutions, as being based on error or superstition.” Of course, there are plenty of other folks doing that in the investment field. What distinguishes Michael is that he backs up his declarations with data. Michael graduated from The Haas School of Business at the University of California Berkeley, where he conducted independent research sponsored by the legendary Mark Rubinstein. His innovative streak was apparent even then. “I developed my own models,” he says, “after studying what they taught us in econometrics— because I found mainstream models were not effective.” In 1986 he was recruited by Salomon Brothers as a market analyst and soon moved into proprietary trading, attaining the position of vice‐ president. There he made his first big splash in the investing community by accurately forecasting the collapse of the Nikkei Average - which subsequently dropped 37%. Among Michael’s other accurate predictions: the top in the U.S. tech bubble in 2000, the subsequent stock market low in 2002, the housing bubble top in 2007, the credit crisis stock crash low in 2009, the pre-Covid stock market top in early 2020, the Covid crash low in March 2020 and the recent AI bubble peak in early 2025. Besides producing The Belkin Report every week, Michael is a speaker at financial industry events and a guest commentator on TV business news networks.

In 2005 Savvas and his team formed QuantMetriks Research Limited. They simultaneously launched the website QuantMetriks.com, on which their extensive dataset is platformed. In 2007, the team joined Toscafund Asset Management to set up their own fund and give investment advice. Savvas also served as Chief Economist to the Toscafund Group.

Michael Belkin   Michael Belkin Founder Michael, could be described as an iconoclast, which is someone who “attacks cherished beliefs or traditional institutions, as being based on error or superstition.” Of course, there are plenty of other folks doing that in the investment field. What distinguishes Michael is that he backs up his declarations with data. Michael graduated from The Haas School of Business at the University of California Berkeley, where he conducted independent research sponsored by the legendary Mark Rubinstein. His innovative streak was apparent even then. “I developed my own models,” he says, “after studying what they taught us in econometrics— because I found mainstream models were not effective.” In 1986 he was recruited by Salomon Brothers as a market analyst and soon moved into proprietary trading, attaining the position of vice‐ president. There he made his first big splash in the investing community by accurately forecasting the collapse of the Nikkei Average - which subsequently dropped 37%. Among Michael’s other accurate predictions: the top in the U.S. tech bubble in 2000, the subsequent stock market low in 2002, the housing bubble top in 2007, the credit crisis stock crash low in 2009, the pre-Covid stock market top in early 2020, the Covid crash low in March 2020 and the recent AI bubble peak in early 2025. Besides producing The Belkin Report every week, Michael is a speaker at financial industry events and a guest commentator on TV business news networks.

Belkin Report
Michael Belkin   Michael Belkin Founder Michael, could be described as an iconoclast, which is someone who “attacks cherished beliefs or traditional institutions, as being based on error or superstition.” Of course, there are plenty of other folks doing that in the investment field. What distinguishes Michael is that he backs up his declarations with data. Michael graduated from The Haas School of Business at the University of California Berkeley, where he conducted independent research sponsored by the legendary Mark Rubinstein. His innovative streak was apparent even then. “I developed my own models,” he says, “after studying what they taught us in econometrics— because I found mainstream models were not effective.” In 1986 he was recruited by Salomon Brothers as a market analyst and soon moved into proprietary trading, attaining the position of vice‐ president. There he made his first big splash in the investing community by accurately forecasting the collapse of the Nikkei Average - which subsequently dropped 37%. Among Michael’s other accurate predictions: the top in the U.S. tech bubble in 2000, the subsequent stock market low in 2002, the housing bubble top in 2007, the credit crisis stock crash low in 2009, the pre-Covid stock market top in early 2020, the Covid crash low in March 2020 and the recent AI bubble peak in early 2025. Besides producing The Belkin Report every week, Michael is a speaker at financial industry events and a guest commentator on TV business news networks.

What distinguishes Michael is that he backs up his declarations with data. Michael graduated from The Haas School of Business at the University of California Berkeley, where he conducted independent research sponsored by the legendary Mark Rubinstein. His innovative streak was apparent even then. “I developed my own models,” he says, “after studying what they taught us in econometrics— because I found mainstream models were not effective.” In 1986 he was recruited by Salomon Brothers as a market analyst and soon moved into proprietary trading, attaining the position of vice‐ president. There he made his first big splash in the investing community by accurately forecasting the collapse of the Nikkei Average - which subsequently dropped 37%. Among Michael’s other accurate predictions: the top in the U.S. tech bubble in 2000, the subsequent stock market low in 2002, the housing bubble top in 2007, the credit crisis stock crash low in 2009, the pre-Covid stock market top in early 2020, the Covid crash low in March 2020 and the recent AI bubble peak in early 2025. Besides producing The Belkin Report every week, Michael is a speaker at financial industry events and a guest commentator on TV business news networks.

Belkin Report
Michael Belkin   Michael Belkin Founder Michael, could be described as an iconoclast, which is someone who “attacks cherished beliefs or traditional institutions, as being based on error or superstition.” Of course, there are plenty of other folks doing that in the investment field. What distinguishes Michael is that he backs up his declarations with data. Michael graduated from The Haas School of Business at the University of California Berkeley, where he conducted independent research sponsored by the legendary Mark Rubinstein. His innovative streak was apparent even then. “I developed my own models,” he says, “after studying what they taught us in econometrics— because I found mainstream models were not effective.” In 1986 he was recruited by Salomon Brothers as a market analyst and soon moved into proprietary trading, attaining the position of vice‐ president. There he made his first big splash in the investing community by accurately forecasting the collapse of the Nikkei Average - which subsequently dropped 37%. Among Michael’s other accurate predictions: the top in the U.S. tech bubble in 2000, the subsequent stock market low in 2002, the housing bubble top in 2007, the credit crisis stock crash low in 2009, the pre-Covid stock market top in early 2020, the Covid crash low in March 2020 and the recent AI bubble peak in early 2025. Besides producing The Belkin Report every week, Michael is a speaker at financial industry events and a guest commentator on TV business news networks.

David Murrin   David Murrin Founder David has been a macro trader since 1986, first working at JPM on its first Prop desk and then as a founder and CIO of his Macro and Emerging Market Fund, Emergent Asset Management, for over 20 years. During that time, he has had a remarkable track record of predicting major market declines and profiting extensively from them. Short at the highs and then running with the decline in the 1998 Asian Crisis, the 2001 dot com bubble, the 2003 Argentine crisis, the 2007 bear market, the flash crash of 2011, last but not least the February 2020 pandemic risk-off crisis. However, his work not only accurately predicts these big dislocations but also then focuses on the safe periods to then extract risk-off Alpha. Subscribing to Global Forecaster is effectively akin to having access to an outsourced but very experienced CIO, with a uniquely successful track record.
