Contrarian investment guide

Author Peter D. Schiff explains how he positioned his clients when he saw the current bear market coming, and warns you about what he sees as the imminent collapse of the U.S. dollar and the U.S. economy. He recommends that readers get their money out of the U.S. market, invest abroad, and even consider emigrating altogether and opening a business in a BRIC country (Brazil, Russia, India and China). Schiff elaborates on the risk of living in an American cit...more

I really enjoyed this book! The author seems to promote his web site a bit too much, but otherwise there is a lot of great info here. Hyperinflation from fiat money is destroying the value of our cash and bonds. He suggests investing in foreign stocks, even moving abroad to take advantage of numerous countries that will be much better off than the USA. He thinks gold will go much higher and points out that the relative value of gold versus oil has stayed about the same. It's the US dollar that i...more

Aptly named, book is fairly short and easy to read. It could easily be read over a couple days, although, I managed to stretch it out for a month.

Schiff puts forth a very compelling argument for pulling all investments out of US Dollar based investments and reinvesting in precious metals, commodities, and foreign based companies in politically stable countries. He gives a fairly thorough history lesson on our economy, and the events that led to the current precarious nature of th...more

INVESTMENT ADVICE BOOK:


I am generally too optimistic a person to like reading about doom and gloom. Make no mistake, the author sees large problems ahead.
He did however accurately forecast the stock crash of 2008.
What I loved was...that he wrote it in July 2008, the book - publishing being what it is - came out in December...and all his forecasts TANKED!
I liked his price versus systemic inflation argument, I liked his easy explanations on Etfs, commodities...t...more

This is a great book to read if you want to understand the true economics behind what is going on in our country. The author gives tips on which inflation hedges he uses in his portfolio, no real surprises here, get out of the dollar, invest in hard assets and foriegn companies.

Great starter book about how to invest in foreign markets/commodities. Also has a bit of history in regards to the dollar, its relationship to gold, and how the dollar came to be the world's foreign currency.

Peter Schiff has been a prophet when it comes to the recent financial calamity that we're currently in, so I highly recommend this if you want to learn more about safeguarding your financial future.
