Book Synopsis

The devaluation of the American dollar, with the subsequent inflation, is
eerily similar to the chaotic markets of the 1970s. The factors that created
the stagflation and the gold and silver bull markets of the late seventies
and early eighties are back. As Yogi Berra said, "It's deja vu all over
again." Only this time, they're even more exaggerated-offering
once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for middle-class Americans, if they look
beyond the Wall Street stock-market propaganda. This book can help you
panic-proof your life and your finances, and reap huge profits with
relatively small investments in gold, silver, certain ETFs, mutual funds,
and mining stocks.

How to Prosper During the Coming Bad Years in the 21st Century is a
must-have survival and moneymaking guide for people who want to profit from
the rough economic seas that are upon us-and come through with their share
of treasure.
