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.</p> <p>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.</p> <ul> <li>Learn when, why, and how the global bubble will burst</li> <li>Understand the repercussions that will reach into your accounts</li> <li>Get up to date on the data, with expert analysis and insight</li> <li>Start protecting yourself now with a few smart investment moves</li> </ul> <p>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. <i>Aftershock</i> helps you fortify your assets before the wave so you can enjoy clear skies after the storm.</p>

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. <p>This fully updated fourth edition of <i>Aftershock: Protect Yourself and Profit in the Next Global Financial Meltdown</i> 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?</p> <p><i>Aftershock, Fourth Edition</i> 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.</p>
