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

1. Isn’t the economy recovering now? Why worry about an Aftershock?
It may look like a recovery but this is really a fake recovery, driven by printing money and massive government borrowing that are temporarily slowing the fall of our multi-bubble economy. We are just kicking our problems down the road and making the future Aftershock that much worse.

2. How is the second edition of Aftershock different from the first edition?
The new Aftershock is more than 35% updated and contains our latest analysis of the current economy, plus our forecasts for 2012 and beyond. There are two entirely new chapters that you won't want to miss, especially the one on how the Federal Reserve's medicine will become a poison when thier program of quantitative easing eventually causes dangerous inflation and rising interest rates ahead. Future inflation is the single biggest threat to the economy and to your stocks, bonds, real estate, and cash. Throughout the new Aftershock, we show you how future inflation will damage the already falling bubble economy and what to do to protect yourself and your assets when it hits. There will even be a few ways to make money on inflation--but only if you see it coming. 

3. How is this book any different from all the rest?
Aftershock is the only book to correctly predict the economic mess we are in today and foresee what is next, based on a proven macroeconomic view of the evolving global economy

4. What will be some of the first signs of the coming Aftershock?
Actually, it's already happening now, but it isn't easy to see unless you know what to look for. The second edition of Aftershock explains in detail what is ahead, how to see it coming, and what to do about it right now, while there's still time to protect yourself.

5. Have we seen the “aftershock” of the 2008 market meltdown yet? If not, when do you predict we will see its effects?
No we haven’t seen the “aftershock” of the 2008 market meltdown. We will see it when inflation nears 10%, which is likely about 2 – 3 years away.

Recovery? What Recovery? Did you lose money in the stock market in the last financial crisis of late 2008?Has your home lost value? Are you "underwater" in your mortgage or concerned about selling?

But after being on target the last time they went against the grain, the Wiedemers merit being heard out." — The Associated Press "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 , SmartMoney "Aftershock makes a compelling argument for a chilling conclusion. Their track record demands our attention." — Sam Stovall , Chief Investment Strategist, Standard & Poor′s "The fragility of today′s economy demands that we, as investors, allocate our assets with more prudence and focus than ever before. The authors′ prescience in their first book lends credence to their new warnings. This book deserves our attention." — Robert Friedman , former CFO, Goldman Sachs "Their first book, America′s Bubble Economy , was one of those rare finds that not only predicted the subprime credit meltdown well in advance, it offered Main Street investors a winning strategy. Now they′ve done it again." — Paul B. Farrell , JD, PhD, Senior Columnist, Dow Jones/MarketWatch
