Product Description

An insightful look at how to protect, save, and grow wealth in difficult economic times

Having an effective financial and personal plan for the future is now more crucial than ever. And with the bestselling The Ultimate Depression Survival Guide now in paperback, you′ll quickly learn how to create such a plan. This comprehensive guide was especially designed to help people map out a practical financial plan in this unpredictable economic environment, so that they can stop worrying about their money and just enjoy life.

Step by step, Martin Weiss–America′s Consumer Advocate for Financial Safety–introduces, explains, and helps solve many of the new challenges and risks that face millions of Americans. Throughout the book, Weiss provides you with sound strategies for coping with the credit crunch, housing bust, and decline of the U.S. dollar.

  • Discusses different ways to adapt to the realities of continuous market volatility
  • Contains solutions to dealing with sinking real estate or falling stocks
  • Examines the opportunities you′ll have to buy choice assets at bargain prices during a depressed economy

The Ultimate Depression Survival Guide also examines important topics that today′s investor must be familiar with–including global investing, foreign currencies, and commodities–if they intend to make it through the decade ahead.

From the Inside Flap

With no end to the global debt crisis in sight and the American economy sinking into depression, traditional advice on money could lead millions of innocent victims down the road of deepening losses. But with this timely book, Martin Weiss will guide you to the truly safe havens and show you how to turn this crisis into a unique wealth–building opportunity.

As Editor of the Safe Money Report and author of Crash Profits, Martin Weiss specifically warned of this crisis well before it began. He helped thousands of investors avoid losses by forecasting the financial difficulties of Washington Mutual, Wachovia Bank, Fannie Mae, Lehman Brothers, General Motors, and Citigroup—plus nearly every major troubled firm—well in advance. Indeed, the accuracy of his analysis is why the U.S. Government Accountability Office has praised his work; the New York Times wrote that he was "the first to warn of the dangers and say so unambiguously"; and the Wall Street Journal reported that his company′s research outperformed that of all Wall Street firms they covered.

Martin Weiss′s father, one of the only economists in the modern era who not only advised investors during the 1930s Great Depression, but also predicted it, performed a similar service for investors. And now, with The Ultimate Depression Survival Guide, Weiss combines the past analysis of his father with his own contemporary insights to help you protect your money, improve your income, and build wealth in the worst of times.

Step by step, Weiss outlines effective strategies that will help you to sidestep the continuing dangers in stocks, cut your losses in real estate, escape a banking crisis, build a substantial cash nest egg, and put that cash away in the safest possible place. If you feel you′re stuck with sinking real estate or falling stocks, he offers you a solution that will help you sleep at night despite continuing market declines. Plus, he shows you how to recognize the ultimate bottom in real estate and stocks, giving you the opportunity to buy choice assets at bargain prices.

For the duration of this crisis—and beyond—you can also benefit from regular follow–up e–mails directly from the author. Visit www.moneyandmarkets.com/guide to sign up for free financial updates such as critical warnings on upcoming dangers and new opportunities as they arise.

To survive the crisis on Wall Street and Main Street, you don′t need extensive investing experience or the ability to forecast the future. All you need is the courage to get out of its way. So throw out your preconceived notions, start with a clean slate, and follow the commonsense guidance found in this reliable resource to survive—and thrive—during the turbulent times ahead.

By Ford Ka TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
The book offers a very credible and rational diagnosis of the present economic situation in the US. Weiss apparently saw it coming and tried to warn fellow Americans of possible dangers. Now that his worst fears came true he is trying to help the survivors of the crunch get on with their lives without losing what they still have.
His advice is fairly common-sense - don't do anything irrational (OK we all apparently DO need this advice, if you have any doubts look at what happened to basically all big banks), always go for the safe option, choose safety over profit. He is more specific than that but this is what it boils down to.
It just seems that for many people the advice comes a little to late. If you are stuck in a house that have just lost half of its value and you can't keep up with your monthly payments you may find Weiss' suggestions mildly annoying. If you think this is a perfect gift for a friend who has just lost his job, think again!
And there is one advice which he does not give explicitly - in days of the ultimate depression it is very good to write and publish a manual on how to survive the depression. Among all the good stuff inside this particular piece of advice seems to be the best, at least judging by how well this book sells in the US ;)

By Rolf Dobelli TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
In this savings and investment "survival guide," financial publisher Martin D. Weiss proclaims that the world is entering another depression. According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, his investment advisory and rating firm outperforms all other companies at "forecasting future financial trouble." Indeed, for two decades, Weiss has accurately predicted "nearly every large financial failure in the United States," including the latest financial collapse. When it comes to doom-and-gloom financial prognostications, Weiss has excellent bloodlines. His father, J. Irving Weiss, was one of the few economists who predicted the Great Depression at the time. So what does this modern-day Cassandra have to tell us? Weiss claims that as wretched as things are now economically, they will get much worse in the years to come. However, in addition to dismal tidings, he offers numerous specific, well-informed recommendations on how to protect - and even increase - your assets during the "Second Great Depression of modern times." getAbstract suggests that if you want to study fiscal advice that covers the spectrum from pessimism to optimism, this book expertly handles the pessimistic end.

Blueprint for Survival 23 April 2009
Format:Hardcover
Martin Weiss has spent the last months and in fact years not only predicting the global crash but also identifying the specific banks and corporations which would fail. Having done this and having been proved correct it would have been easy to sit back and say "I told you so." Weiss has instead produced a manual which is indeed common sense but is also a guide to avoid the false dawns created by politicians desperate to save their own skins. Though written with USA in mind the basic strategems are applicable to all no matter where they live. A most worthwhile book.
