Aftershock: Protect Yourself and Profit in the Next Global Financial Meltdown - Hardcover

"But as bitter as it is, 'Aftershock's' message-that America has yet to pay its bills-deserves an audience. After all, the authors were right once before." -Michael Casey, MarketBeat, blogs.wsj.com/marketbeat, November 2009 " ... surrounded as we are by growing talk of recovery and news about 'green shoots,' it's still refreshing to consider the different perspective that Wiedemer, Wiedemer and Spitzer offer here." - Robert J. Hughes, Smart Money, December 2009 "Their scenario is dark, and their strategies bold and unconventional. But after being on target the last time they went against the grain, the Wiedemers merit being heard out." (The Associated Press, December 2009) "This is a page turner, but it will be slow reading from the standpoint of having to constantly stop and make notes in the margin or pause to see how a particular point directly effects the reader's own situation. Reading this book will make you aware of economics like you've never previously been aware." -James Holland, Basil & Spice, December 2009

From the authors who predicted with unmatched precision the domino impacts of the real estate, stock market, and other bubbles that led to 2008's market meltdown comes the definitive look at what is still to come and what investors can do to protect themselves Just as many are wrongly forecasting a full recovery ahead, Aftershock, now updated and revised, warns of a very different economic future. Home prices and stocks will continue to fall, inflation and unemployment will rise, and the current recession will not automatically cycle back to recovery. Unlike most books, Aftershock goes beyond the outdated notion of "market cycles" to help readers clearly recognize and quickly respond to the rapidly evolving economy. Instead of going back to how things were before, we are moving forward through uncharted territory, with new challenges and opportunities few people anticipate. The book shows you how to: * Protect assets before and during the second wave of the financial meltdown * Make wise investment decisions regarding stocks, bonds, real estate, and more * Know which jobs, careers, and businesses will fare the best * Profit from the collapsing bubbles * Other titles by Wiedemer, Wiedemer, and Spitzer: America's Bubble Economy Aftershock is easy-to-read, entertaining, and practical book guides readers to seek safety and profits in these evolving economic conditions.
