Aftershock: Protect Yourself and Profit in the Next Global Financial Meltdown, 2nd Edition

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

Second Edition 

By David Wiedemer, Robert Wiedemer, and Cindy Spitzer

In the new edition of Aftershock, the same authors who predicted the housing crisis describe the even bigger financial shock to come, and how ordinary investors can protect themselves and profit from the coming changes.

The thoroughly updated second edition of Aftershock: Protect Yourself and Profit in the Next Global Financial Meltdown (Wiley, August 2011), emphasizes the role rising global inflation will play in the popping of the dollar and the government debt bubbles. The new edition updates the Wall Street Journal Business Bestseller and runaway success that sold more than 200,000 copies with its prescient predictions of the failing multi-bubble economy.  

THE WORST IS YET TO COME

The forecasts in Aftershock have not only been consistently right years in advance, they have been right for the right reasons, which is why they will be right again.

“Aftershock differs from other books about the economic crisis in that it deals with the root causes of the economic crisis and gives investors concrete advice about how these shifts will affect assets,” said co-author Robert Wiedemer.

The second edition from authors David Wiedemer, Robert Wiedemer and Cindy Spitzer includes more than 30 percent new material, including:

• A new chapter on the effects of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing program
• A new chapter on the inadequacies in the field of economics that are ruining our chances of recovery and will exacerbate the coming global money disaster
• A focus on rising inflation and its role in the Aftershock
• Extensive advice on how investors can survive and profit from the coming turmoil, including how to buy and own gold and silver and what to do about real estate, life insurance and stocks
• Analysis of which employment sectors will benefit in a post-Aftershock world, and who will lose out in what will be a very challenging economy.

Bob Wiedemer is a managing director and David Wiedemer, Ph.D., is the chief economist for Absolute Investment Management, an investment advisory firm that embraces the macroeconomic views of Aftershock. Along with Cindy Spitzer, an award-winning writer, editor, and communications consultant, the Wiedemers run the financial consulting firm Aftershock Advisors.  Long before the housing bubble popped, the authors first predicted the future fall of U.S. real estate, private debt, consumer spending, and the stock market in their landmark book, America’s Bubble Economy (Wiley, 2006).
