Product Description
Praise for Profiting From the World's Economic Crisis "Someone is going to make money in the next decade. Perhaps Bud will help you find your way."
—Jim Rogers, cofounder, Quantum Fund; author, A Gift to My Children "Where everyone today has an opinion on everything, much of it gleaned from a blog, Bud Conrad's constant mantra is 'What does the data say?' And then he rolls up his sleeves and works almost around the clock for as many days as it takes to get to a defensible answer. In other words, there are those who talk, and those who do. Bud does. In Profiting from the World's Economic Crisis, Bud tells you what the data shows about the risks and opportunities just ahead. You'll want to pay attention."
—David Galland, Managing Editor, The Casey Report "Bud Conrad's book is a brutally honest journey into the future. Honest because Bud builds on facts, not popular opinion; brutal as he¿illustrates the logical consequences as global dynamics play out. You can't afford not to read this book."
—Axel Merk, President and Chief Investment Officer, Merk Mutual Funds; author, Sustainable Wealth "This book could not be better timed, as the government and Wall Street do their best to convince the public that the financial storm has passed. Bud Conrad begs to differ and using his unique ability to take complex data and distill it into straightforward charts, he not only explains how the hurricane developed, but why it's far from over. He then goes on to show investors not just how to survive the storm's resurgence, but how to prosper."
—Steve Henningsen, Chief Financial Strategist, The Wealth Conservancy "Right now you may be asking yourself 'What's going to happen to the economy, why is it happening, and what can I do to profit from it?' As far as I'm concerned, Bud has the correct answers to these questions. Among other things, this book will become 'the' reference book for data and charts that economists and investors will go to for years to come. I urge you to read this book—now—and act on its advice."
—DOUG CASEY, Chairman, Casey Research, bestselling author, Crisis Investing

Like a Boy Scout - Always prepared April 27, 2010

Mr. Conrad's book provides a dizzying amount of financial and economic analysis, not only of what has transpired over the recent years in the global economy, but also of the precipice we find ourselves dangling over. Prior to reading this book, I would have put myself into the skeptical camp that the global economic situation was really as fragile as it is, but the author provides a very compelling, fact driven base for that argument. The book also provides a great historical analysis of what types of investments have fared the best, helping people to both survive and thrive, in prior economic downturns. There is no steadfast rule that this one will turn out like any other, but a good mix of history and theory will have you much better prepared for the potential tectonic shifts in front of us than you would be without. The prose is a little on the dry side, but the variety of facts and figures it arms you with more than make up for that. In all, a highly recommended read for anyone who is unsure about the direction of the economy, and the direction of their portfolio in relation to it.

What a truly important and timely book! The author assumes nothing, but proceeds like a proper scientific investigator looking at precedent and working conservatively from a base of actual knowledge, not wishful thinking or unfounded speculation.
He also provides very readable prose, appearing almost effortlessly to communicate some very complex subjects. It is actually a pleasure becoming informed about some basically dry-as-hell stuff.
The author shows himself to be a gifted economist and communicator who depicts the reality in which we now find ourselves without an agenda, other than to share ways one may actually profit no matter how bleak the circumstances, if one can anticipate them.
Very data-driven May 19, 2010

I really like the author's style of focusing on past data, looking for strong correlations, and then hypothesizing about likely possibilities for the future. Most of all, I enjoyed the fact that he sees an opportunity in every market, even if it's a worldwide currency crisis and global stagnation for the next decade (which is essentially his prognosis). Money can be made in any market if you have the courage to go against the herd and the foresight to pick the right positions.

Like some of the other reviewers I am only half way through, but this is a well written, comprehendible and fact based. This is a must read for anyone looking for clarity in an uncertain time.
Everyone Should Read This Book May 18, 2010

Congratulations and thanks to Bud Conrad for writing such a powerful, timely, useful, and readable book! He has taken a complex, important, and tangled subject and tackled clearly and brilliantly. Whether the reader is a novice to the subject (or even a bit intimidated by it and by numbers) or seasoned, the book provides valuable insights. This should be required reading for every college student and everyone within the Beltway.
