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

THIS "RECOVERY" IS 100% FAKE

From the bestselling authors who predicted the 2008–2009 financial crisis comes their next wakeup call to Wall Street and Main Street investors: Prepare now for the coming Aftershock because this time not even massive government intervention will be able to stop it.

Don′t let the all–time highs in the stock markets and "happy talk" from the financial cheerleaders fool you. This "recovery" is more fairytale than fact, created almost entirely by massive money printing and massive debt. While most people will ignore the warning signs, for wise investors who prepare now there′s still time to protect yourself before it′s too late.

This fourth edition of Aftershock is fully updated with new analysis, insights, and advice about how to see and prepare for the multibubble pop and global mega–recession ahead, including:

How to see the many vulnerable bubbles now holding up the fragile U.S. economy, temporarily supported by massive government stimulus that cannot last What to expect here and around the globe when these huge bubbles begin to pop How to prepare now for protection and even profit in the lead up to and during the coming Aftershock

From the reviews of the critically acclaimed First Edition:

"Their scenario is dark, and their strategies bold and unconventional. 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
