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

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 Unlike most books, Aftershock goes beyond the outdated notion of "market cycles" to help readers clearly recognize and quickly respond to the rapidly evolving economy.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.
