Product Description:
The economic tipping point for the United States is no longer theoretical. It is a reality today. The country has gone from the world's largest creditor to its greatest debtor; the value of the dollar is sinking; domestic manufacturing is winding down - and these trends don't seem to be slowing. Peter Schiff casts a sharp, clear-sighted eye on these factors and explains what the possible effects may be and how investors can protect themselves. For more than a decade, Schiff has not only observed the U.S. economy, but also helped his clients reposition their portfolios to reflect his outlook. What he sees is a nation facing an economic storm brought on by growing federal, personal, and corporate debt, too-little savings, a declining dollar, and lack of domestic manufacturing.
Crash-Proof is an informed and informative warning of a looming period marked by sizeable tax hikes, loss of retirement benefits, double digit inflation, even - as happened recently in Argentina - the possible collapse of the middle class. However, Schiff does have a survival plan that can provide the protection that readers will need in the coming years.

The title of this book ought to be "How to keep your money a little safer". As for
"profiting", where's that?
This book teaches very basic and conservative techniques that can be summed up as:
(1) Buy gold: how to own it through physical holdings, ETFs, etc.
(2) Invest in foreign stocks, but not through ADRs or Pink Sheets.
(3) Get liquid, save more.
Thanks for the tips!

Yes. Peter Schiff predicted the sub-prime crisis in 2006. But he is NOT the only one. Soros predicted in 2003.
When Schiff talked about gold, he didn't mentioned IMF as the largest holder. Peter Schiff is good, but not a master like Soros.
Peter Schiff is a broker and Ron Paul's economic adviser. But I wonder if he can be a good fund manager. At least I doubt it based on the info in his two books, Crash Proof and The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets: How to Keep Your ... Read More

This book was written prior to the financial meltdown. Many of the recommendations are still valid today. Gold is still a recommendation.

Peter Schiff has been on many of the financial shows. He usually gets shunned as being too pessimistic and they usually attempt to marginalize the man. In fact, this book was written about mid 2006 and the forecast collapse of the dollar is in progress today (Nov 1, 09). He offers evidence that casts clear doubt upon the government economic figures by explaining how they are derived and for what purpose they are manipulated. Schiff then goes on to offer how to build one's portfolio to defend, preserve, ... Read More

Peter Schiff is one of the few stock brokers/economists that you can actually trust. This book will always be proof that his prognostications came true. The only thing that Schiff slightly missed was the timing. In this book you will learn where to invest your money (foreign stocks, precious metals). In 2009 he has been dead-on. Asian (especially China) stocks have been rising and will continue to rise along with precious metals. The only thing preventing another larger collapse in the United States is ... Read More
