 Total junk October 18, 2008

The biggest piece of junk I've read in a long time. I can't believe this thing has 4.5 stars.
 Good Advice But... October 13, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I read this very interesting book a couple of months ago and was surprised to see it climbing the charts again. The topic is certainly timely and much needed however...
While I agree with the Lion's share of the advice (and the author is more competent in these matters than I) contained therein, I struggle with accepting his advice in precious metals and foreign markets. As I believe, the foreign markets still reflect the good `ole USA at this time, I just cannot trust them. In addition, gold is too volatile for my needs at the age of 52. Of course, the book speaks loudly about age and options.
Everything else I believed was right on target therefore I give it a 4 star rating. I hope you found this review helpful. Michael L. Gooch, SPHR - Author of Wingtips with Spurs: Cowboy Wisdom for Today's Business Leaders.
 Conflict of interest seems likely. October 10, 2008

I read "Crash Proof" in one day yet I'm not an investor. I think the concern that Mr. Schiff is using his book to promote his company's line of investment products is a valid one. On another note, there is a glaring error on page 224 of the hard cover edition. He writes, "My favorite way to buy silver is just to buy junk silver ... minted before 1968. They [the coins] are 90 percent silver." Wrong. Only the coins minted before 1965 are 90 percent silver. A quick visit to any of the Junk Silver web sites will confirm it. I wonder if the book contains other errors?
 Novice here... October 10, 2008

I'm a complete novice to finances. Or at least I was before I read Crash Proof. It made all of those fancy stock market terms easy to understand. I was already anticipating some kind of crash because Ron Paul was saying it was coming, and he's been right every time! But this book made the coming crisis more scientific.
Also, the part about Gold is genius. Get gold! GET GOLD!

This is an excellent book. It is very easy to understand and explains what is happening with the economy and how to protect your money. I believe it is a necessity in these troubled times.
