  <description><![CDATA[&quot;History shows that people who save and invest grow and prosper, and the others deteriorate and collapse.<br/>   As <strong><em>Financial Reckoning Day</em></strong> demonstrates, artificially low interest rates and rapid credit creation policies set by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve caused the bubble in U.S. stocks of the late '90s. . . . Now, policies being pursued at the Fed are making the bubble worse. They are changing it from a stock market bubble to a consumption and housing bubble.<br/>   And when those bubbles burst, it's going to be worse than the stock market bubble . . .<br/>   No one, of course, wants to hear it. They want the quick fix. They want to buy the stock and watch it go up twenty-five percent because that's what happened last year, and that's what they say on TV.&quot;<br/>   &#8212;Jim Rogers, author of the bestseller <em>Adventure Capitalist</em><br/>   from the Foreword to <strong><em>Financial Reckoning Day</em></strong>   <p>   <strong>Advanced praise from bestselling authors</strong>   <p>   &quot;An investment book that will not only enlarge your investment horizon, but also make you laugh and thoroughly entertain you for a few hours.&quot;<br/>   &#8212;Dr. Marc Faber, author of the bestseller <em>Tomorrow's Gold</em>   <p>   &quot;Financial Reckoning Day is . . . in the category of scintillating sex or good vision, something to be savored and enjoyed-before it is too late.&quot;<br/>   &#8212;James Dale Davidson, author of the bestseller <em>The Great Reckoning and The Sovereign Individual</em>   <p>   &quot;A powerful and insightful vision . . . each paragraph stimulates a new rush of thoughts that fills in gaping holes in the investor's understanding of what has happened to their dreams . . . while prepping them to confront any new confusion that may arrive.&quot;<br/>   &#8212;Martin D.

    <![CDATA[&quot;History shows that people who save and invest grow and prosper, and the others deteriorate and collapse.<br/>   As <strong><em>Financial Reckoning Day</em></strong> demonstrates, artificially low interest rates and rapid credit creation policies set by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve caused the bubble in U.S. stocks of the late '90s. . . . Now, policies being pursued at the Fed are making the bubble worse. They are changing it from a stock market bubble to a consumption and housing bubble.<br/>   And when those bubbles burst, it's going to be worse than the stock market bubble . . .<br/>   No one, of course, wants to hear it. They want the quick fix. They want to buy the stock and watch it go up twenty-five percent because that's what happened last year, and that's what they say on TV.&quot;<br/>   &#8212;Jim Rogers, author of the bestseller <em>Adventure Capitalist</em><br/>   from the Foreword to <strong><em>Financial Reckoning Day</em></strong>   <p>   <strong>Advanced praise from bestselling authors</strong>   <p>   &quot;An investment book that will not only enlarge your investment horizon, but also make you laugh and thoroughly entertain you for a few hours.&quot;<br/>   &#8212;Dr. Marc Faber, author of the bestseller <em>Tomorrow's Gold</em>   <p>   &quot;Financial Reckoning Day is . . . in the category of scintillating sex or good vision, something to be savored and enjoyed-before it is too late.&quot;<br/>   &#8212;James Dale Davidson, author of the bestseller <em>The Great Reckoning and The Sovereign Individual</em>   <p>   &quot;A powerful and insightful vision . . . each paragraph stimulates a new rush of thoughts that fills in gaping holes in the investor's understanding of what has happened to their dreams . . . while prepping them to confront any new confusion that may arrive.&quot;<br/>   &#8212;Martin D.

    <![CDATA[&quot;History shows that people who save and invest grow and prosper, and the others deteriorate and collapse.<br/>   As <strong><em>Financial Reckoning Day</em></strong> demonstrates, artificially low interest rates and rapid credit creation policies set by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve caused the bubble in U.S. stocks of the late '90s. . . . Now, policies being pursued at the Fed are making the bubble worse. They are changing it from a stock market bubble to a consumption and housing bubble.<br/>   And when those bubbles burst, it's going to be worse than the stock market bubble . . .<br/>   No one, of course, wants to hear it. They want the quick fix. They want to buy the stock and watch it go up twenty-five percent because that's what happened last year, and that's what they say on TV.&quot;<br/>   &#8212;Jim Rogers, author of the bestseller <em>Adventure Capitalist</em><br/>   from the Foreword to <strong><em>Financial Reckoning Day</em></strong>   <p>   <strong>Advanced praise from bestselling authors</strong>   <p>   &quot;An investment book that will not only enlarge your investment horizon, but also make you laugh and thoroughly entertain you for a few hours.&quot;<br/>   &#8212;Dr. Marc Faber, author of the bestseller <em>Tomorrow's Gold</em>   <p>   &quot;Financial Reckoning Day is . . . in the category of scintillating sex or good vision, something to be savored and enjoyed-before it is too late.&quot;<br/>   &#8212;James Dale Davidson, author of the bestseller <em>The Great Reckoning and The Sovereign Individual</em>   <p>   &quot;A powerful and insightful vision . . . each paragraph stimulates a new rush of thoughts that fills in gaping holes in the investor's understanding of what has happened to their dreams . . . while prepping them to confront any new confusion that may arrive.&quot;<br/>   &#8212;Martin D. Weiss, author of the bestseller <em>Crash Profits</em></p></p></p></p>]]>
