 a good start March 11, 2007

Having just finished Crash Proof I must say I enjoyed the authors style and whit. He makes a frigntening subject easy to understand but was perhaps a bit to simple. He does however recommend other books that go further into detail on how we put ourselves in this mess.I would recommend this to anyone who is concerned about the future of the US Dollar.
 Started off great....until March 11, 2007

I really enjoyed the first three quarters of the book. The author did a great job of explaining the reasons the US dollar is losing value and why Asia is emerging as the world economic leader. I agree with the author's findings and was looking forward to the end of the book where he reveals his recommendation on staying one step ahead of the crowd and profiting when the US dollar goes down the drain. Unfortunately, the recommendations were basically, buy some gold and send the rest of your money to the authors European Trading company so he can buy Euro stocks and Real Estate for you. No specific useable tips such as "Buy - Vanguard.... INTL Fund" etc. As a matter of fact, he states not to buy mutual funds but individual stocks?? I still think the book was a good analysis of the US market and economy but the final recommendations were disappointing.

Peter Schiff's book, "Crash Proof" is a very important, thought provoking book that forces the reader to examine the U.S. economy from the other side of the trade. His use of simplistic examples to describe complex economics allows one to grasp certain concepts by relating such to their everyday lives.
It is time for the U.S. investor to insist that performance be measured in global purchasing power rather than simply U.S. dollars. If this message is not received in a timely manner, many investors who currently think they are doing well will realize that their portfolios are simply constructed with pretty pictures of dead white men on green pieces of paper.
"Crash Proof" is one of the most important documents that I have read in quite some time. My advise is read it.....or else.

I purchased this book on a Saturday afternoon and couldn't stop reading until I was done later that night! Mr. Schiff expertly builds the case for the collapse of the dollar, and knowing he has solutions at the end, you read faster and faster to get to those ideas. I've read this prophecy from a few others, so he's not the only person saying it (e.g., Warren Buffet, Doug Casey, etc), and he gives concrete recommendations as to how to position yourself to not only avoid the calamity but to profit from it. I really loved the book, and I think that even if you don't believe his thesis, you can definitely benefit by learning a healthy (and maybe even obscenely profitable) way to diversify your investments no matter what environmnet unfolds. I highly recommend it.

The author of the book provides enlightening information about the global economy and the risks associated with not being globally diversified. With the US facing over 31+ trillion in unfunded obligations , our currency presses printing money overtime and a stock market that is held up by derivatives the book provides some investment alternatives.
