Product Description
Timely advice for finding investment opportunities during a global economic crisis
In Profiting from the World′s Economic Crisis, author Bud Conrad predicts a rough road ahead for our economy and reveals nontraditional investments that can make big money in difficult times. The crisis we are now entering is not the typical business recession but a major deleveraging that will be the biggest shift since the Great Depression. The stagflation of the U.S. economy will present great challenges on a global scale. Profiting from the World′s Economic Crisis deftly addresses what investors need to know about today′s turbulent economy, and highlights investments and global opportunities such as gold, interest rates, currency, and commodities that are likely to be profitable in the coming years.
Bud Conrad, MBA (San Francisco, CA), is the Chief Economist at Casey Research and has been a futures investor for 25 years, as well as a full–time investor for more than a decade.
From the Inside Flap
With this book, Conrad outlines the long–term direction of our economy as driven by increasing U.S. government and trade deficits, oil prices, Social Security and Medicare obligations for baby boomers, the credit crisis, and the weakening dollar. He also examines why some of the government′s actions—such as bailing out banks and curbing interest rates—fail to address more serious, long–term issues such as too much debt.
The crisis we have entered is not a typical business recession, but, instead, a major deleveraging which is the biggest shift since the Great Depression. The stagflation of the U.S. economy will present great challenges on a global scale. And since no market travels in a straight line, you need to be positioned correctly, with the right investments, to protect yourself and profit from the twists and turns you′ll inevitably face in today′s turbulent economic environment.
Profiting from the World′s Economic Crisis deftly addresses how to gain your financial footing during these difficult times by highlighting global investment opportunities—such as gold, interest rates, currency, and commodities—that are likely to help you profit in the coming years.

Customer Reviews
However.. I am reading this on my laptop (as my wife uses the Kindle) and this book still does not lend itself to the Kindle format. He uses a great many charts and graphs to support his points and they are a key to understanding. Thus, it takes a great deal of flipping back and forth to follow his explainations of them. Despite changing font sizes, the two are seldom on the same page and often a number of pages apart. So I deducted one star.
Overall, the book is still worth the effort to me. I just wish I had ordered a hard copy so I could flip and mark up paper pages.
Added Later... I finished it a few days after the above and would still recommend it for those serious about wanting to understand what we are facing. Although he has some recommendations as to "what to do".. that is not the focus nor main value of the book.
He also provides very readable prose, appearing almost effortlessly to communicate some very complex subjects. It is actually a pleasure becoming informed about some basically dry-as-hell stuff.
The author shows himself to be a gifted economist and communicator who depicts the reality in which we now find ourselves without an agenda, other than to share ways one may actually profit no matter how bleak the circumstances, if one can anticipate them.
Listmania!
