    <body><![CDATA[I think Schiff makes some sense, but there's a lot of his logic that seems flawed to me.  Some of the book seemed like just an advertisement for his firm.  Somehow, I expected more than his recommended strategies: buy gold, buy foreign stocks with little US exposure, hold foreign currencies instead ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53619556">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Found this book insightful and eye opening. The one question I've always had is why don't most people learn from history. Schiff certainly has. I'll definitely be bringing up his suggestions to my advisor. Even though I'm Canadian, his ideas should save me in the future.<br/><br/>Thanks for the ta...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60153472">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Written back in 2006, correctly predicted the housing bubble.  Since then Schiff has been predicting correctly just about everything.  Not great for beginners, but not too advanced.  I only wish I had some money to invest as suggested.  ]]></body>
