Herma Koornwinder
Herma Koornwinder’s life has been one of reading, reflecting, asking questions, not accepting ‘certainties’ as truths, rejecting, researching, developing, checking and putting knowledge to the test.

    During the 1980s and 1990s, in Holland, she took up subjects of financial research which included the effectiveness of fundamental and technical analysis as applied to the world’s stock markets, the acceleration and slowdown of economies, cyclic waves and economic regularities and their consequences, and trying to find an explanation for apparent random fluctuations in the markets.

    Herma compared and put to the test the ‘vision’ of some 15 national and international investment journals, and also researched the effectiveness of financial investment software.

    During the course of these studies, Herma discovered the laws and rules of a ‘forcefield’ of underlying energies governing the movement of share prices.

    Incorporating this knowledge into a model she developed and tested in laboratory conditions at her consultancy, Koornwinder Global Market Navigation (KGMN), she was able to consistently predict, with great accuracy, the rises and falls of stock markets over a period of ten years. During this time, Herma was working for investment and retirement funds and her analysis in this fields was validated by the accountancy bureau Deloitte & Touche for a five-year period from 1989-94.

Professional experience
As one of Holland’s leading global market analysts, Herma gave many interviews and lectures, and was featured in many journals and magazines. She took a stand against the efficient-market hypothesis, modern portfolio theory, and index investments and random dispersion when the risk was not known. She was the initiator of, and advisor to, the KGMN Global Portfolio Fund for private investors.

Further research
In 2000, Herma decided to step back from full-time markets analysis and investigate fully the nature of the ‘forcefield’, or hidden order, she had discovered in the stock markets which expressed itself through number sequences as geometrical patterns, and appeared to be universal in its extent. Her research continued over several years and involved multi-disciplinary studies of writings from ancient times down to the present day.

    In 2009, Herma launched a project for a series of film documentaries about how the subtle energies directed by the underlying order were known to ancient civilizations and could be put to use beneficially today through the intuitive art of dowsing. In 2010, she staged the first Koornwinder Convention in Amsterdam as an international platform for debate on the subject, and in 2011 launched a website to promote her discoveries and ideas.
