Synopsis

Advice on protection and profits in the short and long term future from the experts who accurately predicted the financial crisis of 2008, and who now have more detailed information about what is yet to come

From the authors who accurately predicted the domino fall of the conjoined real estate, stock, and private debt bubbles that led to the financial crisis of 2008 comes the definitive guide to protection and profit in 2012 and beyond. Based on the authors' unmatched track record of precision predictions in their three landmark books, America's Bubble Economy (Wiley, 2006), Aftershock (Wiley, 2009), and Aftershock, Second Edition (Wiley, 2011), their next book offers what readers have been clamoring for: A detailed guide to how to put Aftershock in action, with 14 new chapters on what investors need to know to survive and thrive in the next global money meltdown. The Aftershock Investor shows readers:

• Why recent actions by the U.S. Federal Reserve will eventually damage the dollar and hurt investors worldwide
• How future rising inflation and interest rates will harm your specific investments, and what to do about it
• What's next for stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, and other assets
• Detailed investment advice about real estate, retirement, annuities, life insurance, jobs, and much more
• How to buy and own gold and silver before, during, and after the coming Aftershock
• How to profit rather than lose when so many asset bubbles collapse around the world

Those who heeded the authors' warnings last time were able to successfully ride out the financial crisis of 2008 and even cash in on the years that followed. Now The Aftershock Investor offers readers a second chance at protection and profit in the next financial crisis ahead.

Q& A with the Authors

1. Who should read this book?

Remember the stock market crash and global financial crisis of 2008? That was just a sneak preview of the worldwide economic downturn that is ahead. How do we know that? Because we wrote the books that predicted not only the 2008 crisis, but the even larger global economic Aftershock that is still to come. Anyone interested in protecting themselves now and during the dangerous economic changes ahead should read The Aftershock Investor.

2. Why have so many readers responded so positively to the first two editions of Aftershock? Aren't we having an economic recovery?

Sometimes when a storm is coming, some people notice it sooner than others. The first two Aftershock books have sounded an early warning to those who would listen. These books accurately predicted the fall of the real-estate bubble, the 2008 stock market crash, and our current economic problems, revealing that the so-called current "recovery" is no more than the temporary boost of massive government stimulus that will later make the coming crash all the worse. Most people will ignore the warning signs until it is too late, but for those lucky enough to see it coming, The Aftershock Investor will guide you through.

3. What can readers learn from this book that they can't get anywhere else?

Because no other book is based on the correct and most comprehensive macroeconomic view of what is happening over time, The Aftershock Investor is the only book that can not only explain what is occurring and why, but also provides detailed advice and insights regarding what to do about it and when to do it. Unlike in previous Aftershock books that focused on why these changes are happening and what is coming next, The Aftershock Investor goes even further to offer in-depth chapters on exactly what you need to know to protect assets and grow investments. For example, when to exit stocks, what bonds are safer and when will they become less safe, how to make wise real estate decisions, why and how to buy gold, what to do about annuities, whole life insurance, retirement, and much more.

4. Will this book really help readers do anything differently than they are doing right now?

Yes! The Aftershock Investor reveals an entirely new way of protecting assets and changing your investment strategies to match the changing economy, both now and in the future. The old ways of investing are over. Not only are we facing a falling multibubble economy due to decades of slowing US productivity growth, we now have a falling world bubble economy, as well. To survive and thrive in this evolving investment environment takes changing your thinking and changing your investment approach.

From the Inside Flap:

The real estate, stock, and private debt bubbles have already burst, and there is more trouble on the horizon. That's the hard truth that David Wiedemer, Robert Wiedemer, and Cindy Spitzer—the authors who predicted the 2008 financial crisis—revealed in their books America's Bubble Economy in 2006, Aftershock in 2009, and bestseller Aftershock, Second Edition in 2011.

Now, in The Aftershock Investor, they're back with new information on what the future holds, and advice on what you need to do to survive—and even thrive—in the years ahead. The definitive guide to investing your money in today's turbulent markets with an eye to the future, The Aftershock Investor is filled with the practical knowledge you need to keep your money safe. From what to do with your home to what to do with your cash, this invaluable book is filled with fresh investment insights that you can start putting into practice right away.

Taking an in-depth look at the current and future global economic climate, the book covers such key issues as what's next for stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, and other assets, why recent actions by the U.S. Federal Reserve will eventually damage the dollar, the economy, and much more.

Packed with detailed investment advice on real estate, retirement, annuities, life insurance, and buying gold and silver before, during, and after the impending crisis, The Aftershock Investor is full of prescient insights about what you can do to protect—and grow—your money as the next round of global asset bubbles burst.

Those who heeded the authors' earlier warnings were able to successfully ride out the financial crisis of 2008 and even cash in during the years that followed. Now The Aftershock Investor offers readers a second chance for protection and profit from what is yet to come.
