Profiting from the World's Economic Crisis

The world’s economic crisis has been difficult for the world’s financial system, but that doesn’t mean that opportunity isn’t out there if money is invested in the right things. Bud Conrad, Chief Economist for Casey Research, makes a compelling case for where these world forces will drive your investments in PROFITING FROM THE WORLD’S ECONOMIC CRISIS (Wiley; $27.95).  

Conrad predicts a gloomy and rough road ahead for investors if they ignore the economic imbalances that have built up over the past decade. Taking a closer look at the numerous obstacles Americans face – ever increasing US government and trade deficits, impending rise in health care costs, rising oil prices and the weakening dollar – there is no doubt that these forces will affect investments for years to come. Conrad examines why some of the government's actions—such as bailing out banks and curbing interest rates—have made the situation more precarious because too much government debt will keep the economy weak. 

The crisis we have entered is not a typical business recession, but a major deleveraging which is the biggest shift since the Great Depression. The stagflation of the U.S. economy is the result of great challenges on a global scale. And since no market travels in a straight line, it is important to be positioned correctly, with the right investments, to protect and profit from the inevitable twists and turns of today's turbulent environment. 

PROFITING FROM THE WORLD'S ECONOMIC CRISIS addresses how to position your investments during these difficult times in gold, interest rates, currency, and commodities that are likely to turn a profit in the coming years. Its 262 charts and tables are a treasure trove for reference that goes beyond the tired bland assertions of so many Wall Street pundits. Charts provide clear explanations of how we got to where we are and provide the basis for predicting where investments should be directed. These times require active involvement to protect you from the demise of the dollar.
