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

by David Wiedemer (Author), Robert A. Wiedemer (Author), Cindy S. Spitzer (Author)

Secure your financial future before the next big bubble bursts

Aftershock provides a definitive look at the economic climate still ahead in 2015--and beyond--and details the steps you can take now to secure your financial future. Written by the authors who accurately predicted the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, this book serves as both a warning and a game plan for investors looking to avoid catastrophic loss. This updated fourth edition has been expanded with new actionable insights about protection and profits in an increasingly confusing investment environment, and includes the latest data, updated charts and tables, and brand new coverage of monetary stimulus. With a look back at the domino fall of the conjoined real estate, stock, and private debt bubbles that triggered the last major crisis, this book paints a vivid picture of what to expect the next time the world's economy pops. You'll learn how to protect your assets before and during the coming fall, and how to capitalize on the opportunities everyone else is missing.

The housing bubble has popped, toppling banks and sending shockwaves of stock market misery around the world. It may seem like the worst is over. It's not. This book shows you what's still to come, and how to ride the crest instead of being sucked under.

• Learn when, why, and how the global bubble will burst
• Understand the repercussions that will reach into your accounts
• Get up to date on the data, with expert analysis and insight
• Start protecting yourself now with a few smart investment moves

The stock market, real estate, consumer spending, private debt, dollar, and government debt bubbles will burst, driving up unemployment, devaluing the dollar, and causing deep global recession. Aftershock helps you fortify your assets before the wave so you can enjoy clear skies after the storm.

Front Jacket

Despite all-time highs in the stock market and a widening narrative that "the economy is improving," a critical analysis of the current situation leads to a far more disturbing conclusion. The same authors that correctly predicted the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009 and foresaw the playbook that government leaders and the Federal Reserve would use to re-inflate asset bubbles, have laid out their vision of how the economic house of cards will crumble.

This fully updated fourth edition of Aftershock: Protect Yourself and Profit in the Next Global Financial Meltdown provides readers with an insightful analysis of the economic drivers that have created the illusion of a recovery and a false sense of security among investors. The authors have correctly predicted the path of the economy since before the global financial crisis and now they see things ending badly in the very near future. Are you prepared?

Aftershock, Fourth Edition is your must-have investment guide for understanding what's really happening in the global economy and how to protect yourself--and even profit--in the turbulent times ahead.
