With the market in its current downturn, investors are looking for answers as to why and what they can do to protect their current and future investments. Days of Financial Reckoningwill provide the answers to those questions. Written by a well-respected financial professional--whose publications and newsletters reach hundreds of thousands of investors--this book is based on the theory that America is currently in a "soft depression" much like that of Japan a decade ago. Days of Financial Reckoningdiscusses why this is so dangerous, and how we can survive such an event.
"History shows that people who save and invest grow and prosper, and the others deteriorate and collapse.
"As Financial Reckoning Day demonstrates, artificially low interest rates and rapid credit creation policies set by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve caused the bubble in U.S. stocks of the late '90s. . . . Now, policies being pursued at the Fed are making the bubble worse. They are changing it from a stock market bubble to a consumption and housing bubble.
"And when those bubbles burst, it's going to be worse than the stock market bubble . . .
"No one, of course, wants to hear it. They want the quick fix. They want to buy the stock and watch it go up twenty-five percent because that's what happened last year, and that's what they say on TV."
