Product Description
Today's financial and economic tribulations were a long time in the making. Many people ask, "Why didn't someone see it coming?" A New York Times bestselling book did see it coming. Over 100,000 people read it in time to protect their wealth. The book foresaw and explained the collapse in home prices, plunge in stocks, subprime debacle, liquidity crisis, the demise of Fannie and Freddie, the Federal Reserve's failure to turn the trend, and lots more. The book was Robert Prechter?s Conquer the Crash, published in early 2002, when the Dow was above 10,000 and the financial world was partying around-the-clock. Fast forward to today: the average U.S. homeowner has suffered a decline of 30% to 40% in property value. Stocks and commodities had their biggest fall since 1929-1932. Fannie Mae is a zombie corporation under the government?s protection. The Fed has pushed every button at its disposal (and then some), to no avail. If Prechter thought a whole new book would help, he'd have written one. But Conquer the Crash is a book-length forecast that's still coming true -- only some of the future has caught up with the specific predictions he published back then. There is much more to come. That means more danger, but also great opportunity. Conquer the Crash, 2nd edition offers you 188 new pages of vital information (480 pages total) plus all the original forecasts and recommendations that make the book more compelling and relevant than the day it published. In every disaster, only a very few people prepare themselves beforehand. Think about investor enthusiasm in 2005-2008, and you'll realize it's true. Even fewer people will be ready for the soon-approaching, next leg down of the unfolding depression. In this 2nd edition, Prechter gives a warning he's never had to include in 30 years of publishing -- namely, that the doors to financial safety are closing all over the world. In other words, prudent people need to act while they can. Conquer the Crash, 2nd Edition readers will receive exclusive online access to the Conquer the Crash Readers Page, where Prechter continually updates the book's recommended services and institutions.

 Prophetic Insights! A Must Read Now! August 27, 2010

This book describes in general and in detail this Global Financial Mood that is happening as we are living it today in 2010. The Incredible part is this book was written almost a decade ago. If you have any desire to protect your Family, Home, Possesions and Financial Accounts from the Governments Irresponsible Fiscal Policies over the last 50 years, I can't express strongly enough to 'READ THIS BOOK.' It's still not too late!

Like always, Precter's timing has been TERRIBLE! He told people to get out of the market in 2002 in the first edition of this book, just when it hit bottom!!! And kept them out for 40% upside!!
Then when the market collapsed in 2008 and early 2009, Precher did NOT release any books that warned about that!!!! This man is a fraud. He will always be warning about a collapse. If you listen to him you are a fool.
According to Mike Stathis.."When the Dow bottomed at 6400 in March 2009, most of these so-called experts (like Prechter) were telling investors that the stock market was headed much further down, and to stay out. With each passing month since then, they have either cautioned investors to stay out of the stock market, or else to short it. Some even told investors to take 200% leverage and short the stock market by (at least) late 2009!" [...]
Prechter has been telling his sheep to short the market using 200% leverage since November! The margin costs alone for such a long short are huge. The market losses have been bigger!
The only book worth reading before and after the collapse is America's Financial Apocalypse: How to Profit from the Next Great Depression written in 2006 by Mike Stathis.
Unfortunately, most people still don't know about Stathis or his book (which predicted Dow Jones 6000, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would be bailed out by tax payers, real estate would fall by 35% and much more) because the author (who is an investment strategist and Wall Street professional) has been ignored and banned by the media.
Check Stathis' website [...] and get your hands on everything this man writes because, as a very experienced investment professional I can tell you that he is the only man out there who knows what is going on and is willing to share it with you. And he doesn't sell stocks or gold so you know he doesn't have any bias.
All of the others are frauds and morons looking to make a quick buck selling you fear, greed and terrible advice. Here is a short list of guys who many have been led to believe know what's going on. But once you check what they have said you will either see no beef and/or wrong predictions and terrible advice.
Martin D. Weiss, Robert B. Reich, Peter D. Schiff, Vox Day, Robert Prechter, John A. Rubino, Dick Morris, Robert Shiller, James Turk, the list is too long to complete.
The few that made predictions before the collapse didn't offer any specific advice other than to promote their gold sales. Guys like Schiff said to invest in the Euro! and China would be safe!
Excellent forward-looking predictions June 5, 2010

If you would like to know what it takes to preserve your capital and grow it without taking much risk, follow Prechter's advice in this book. The book is very forward-looking in its predictions. Investors who have the patience and the willingness to wait for opportunities will be very well rewarded. People who have been strictly following Prechter's advice would have at the worst experienced less capital gains but would have slept very well compared to the others who follow the CNBCs of the world. Just my honest two cents...

In the 2002 edition of this book Prechter notes that at press time the Dow was heading back above 10,000. Here we are eight years later and let's see just how spectacular the Dow's fall has been during Prechter's supposed deflationary depression. The Dow is now at...er, Dow 10,300. For those not in the know, Prechter has actually been 'talking down the Dow' since 1987. The Dow was supposed to drop to 1,000 during a delationary depression that Prechter has been citing as imminent for two decades. Instead the Dow more than quintupled from its level when Prechter called for his subscribers to get out in 1987. For the Dow to rise from 2,500 to 14,000 instead of collapsing to 1,000 has GOT to be THE worst long-range market forecasting error of all time. And here we are in the wake of 'the great recession' that Prechter calls a depression and the Dow is still ten times higher than his forecasted depession low. The fact that after two decades Prechter got some semblance of his mighty crash is no more impressive than the stopped clock that is right twice a day. Such a call would only impress were it in the form: the Dow will hit a certain level and then drop a certain percentage, without this call being re-edited upward each passing year. It's kind of a pathetic way for a smart man to have spent his adult life. Meanwhile, if you've ever subscribed to his newsletter, you can just hear him salivating with every bit of bad news and with every contrarian indicator going on red alert. He just can't wait for us to fall into a bona fide depression with a plunging stock market--by way of vindicating his sorry excuse for a career. If it weren't for everyone who would suffer, I'd be hoping he gets his delationary depression with a Dow 1000 just so he can regain the self-esteem that has surely eroded over his decades of forecasting failure. Thirty-five years of Iddiott Wave theory will all be for nought if Bob doesn't get a major secondary crash happening by year-end, so bring it on!
