The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets: How to Keep Your Portfolio Up When the Market is Down
According to Peter Schiff, the coming decade will look very much like the 1970s - a decade few investors of today remember in any detail. As before, it will be a difficult investment environment. A time of rising inflation, higher interest rates, and soaring commodity prices coupled with a weakening dollar, falling real estate, stock and bond prices-and recession. As a res...more

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).

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
The book is written more or less along the same lines as Schiff's prior book "Crash Proof" with a few updates, especially concerning the job outlook in the US.
I would urge people with an open mind and an interest in the fortunes of this great country (and abroad) to read this (and "Crash Proof"). "Crash Proof" has more data points, so I would start there, even though most of what Schiff describes as already occurred. It is a true eye opener, especially to anyone...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

Robert Schiff is convinced the U.S. is in a long-term secular bear market that will last well into this decade....maybe until late this decade. It is hard to predict the cycles in the market and there are plenty of brilliant investors who hold contrary opinions. But there is much value in this book. His recommendations for protection and investing success in a bear market are valuable for any investor at any time. No question....he knows his stuff. One other criticism....he holds some extre...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

I like Peter Schiff and have enjoyed some of his presentations for The Mises institute. This book is typical of the Bear Market genre, written in early 2008 it successfully warns that a deep recession is underway and that the stock market & dollar will take a hit. Book is rudimentary from my perspective, but contains good practical advice for those without finance degrees. My favorite book of this genre remains Contagion by Talbott; however, this book has it's appeal in that it is short and c...more
You can watch the Peter Schiff videos on Youtube in which, Cassandra-like, he predicts Fannie & Freddie's meltdown, bank stocks' collapse, the recession, etc. -- and he's mocked as Doctor Doom. So, kudos to Peter Schiff. This book, though, doesn't provide much in the way of compelling evidence for advice about what to do next. (And I am sympathetic to a lot of his ideas.) It's more like A Conversation With Peter Schiff.
Definitely interesting, even if (or probably because) Schiff is such an extremist. More thorough review forthcoming, but basically he thinks the American economy is going to tank, either by hyperinflation or an extremely severe recession. Either way, he recommends getting your money out of this country before it's too late, and then bringing it back once we're on a path to recovery. To keep its value, he recommends investing in resource-rich countries and companies dealing with those resource...more
Fantastic book of doom & gloom with advice on how to protect your assets in times of waning US influence coupled with double-digit inflation. While I do not agree with his political views or slant on economics, Peter D. Schiff offers clear, compelling strategies for coping with bear markets.
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.
Read it my friends, I have read a lot of investment books and this one addresses the current market from a perspective that I trust. We live in days so much like the Book of Mormon, the resulting perspective seems true to me.
This is an above average view of the current economic situation, an analysis of the problems with mutual funds, and a recommendation for financial structuring of your portfolio. It is written well and is easy to read.
A must read book! Schiff clearly explains economics in common sense terms. I read this little book in one day; it is an easy read packed with important information.
This book was probably written for someone a little more savvy than myself about investing. I've come to know the author through my interest in Austrian economics, a perspective on economics than I have been learning more about lately. The book essentially lays out Schiff's opinion that the American economy is tanking because of bad economic policy and that it may be wiser to invest money abroad in foreign markets. He also addresses ways that Americans can turn the economy back around. I highly ...more
Peter definitely has an opinion on the market and while it may not be everyone's road to riches it was entertaining to hear his opinions.
Peter Schiff can be off-putting because he's so angry all the time but after the first two chapters I was angry too! After a lot of preaching the book gets more pragmatic. Excellent resource written in 2008, and people who took his advice then are probably pretty wealthy now.
This was written in 2008, and he's pretty negative about the US economy. Of course things were pretty bad back then. He's so negative he even devotes a chapter on emigrating out of the United States. Not even close to many other good finance books I've read.
A lot of useful ideas about what to do with our money to protect us from imminent inflation
Ok. Schiff called the '08 crash but that doesn't mean his current calls will pan out.
First read Crashproof, and then read the little book of bull moves in bear markets. Go to YouTube, and watch any of the Peter Schiff was right videos, and see where he get's his credibility. This book was a super easy read, and in mostly common sense and layman's terms he explains the truth about America and the Global Economy. If he is right about his future predictions as he was about his past, I'd heed his advice.
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.

This is an excellent book for investing in the current economy and it can really help you keep your money or grow it instead of watching it disappear.
