Crash Proof: How to Profit from the Coming Economic Collapse - By Peter D. Schiff - $1.80

Crash Proof: How to Profit from the Coming Economic Collapse - Hardcover

Like New Condition. There is no mark, no missing page. Due to the nature of the product, this book is sold as is with no return or exchange.

Book 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.

About the Author: PETER D. SCHIFF is a seasoned Wall Street prognosticator best known for his accurate predictions of the performance of the stock market, commodities, gold, and the dollar. He began his career at Shearson Lehman and joined Euro Pacific Capital (a broker-dealer with expertise in foreign markets and securities) in 1996, becoming President of the firm in 2000. Schiff is often quoted in major publications, such as, the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, the Financial Times, the New York Times, and the Christian Science Monitor.

A frequent guest on television, he appears regularly on CNBC, Bloomberg, and FOX News, edits the Global Investor, an investment newsletter, and hosts a weekly radio program Wall Street Unspun. His economic and market commentaries are featured on many investment-oriented Web sites as well as on www.europac.net. CNBC's Squawk Box has nicknamed Schiff "Dr. Doom" for his uniquely bearish outlook on the U.S. economy and its financial markets.

What's Next, Gen X? Keeping Up, Moving Ahead, and Getting the Career You Want - Hardcover

Product Description

Generation X has definitely drawn the short stick in the workforce. Dominated by Boomers as they began their careers, now X'ers are being encroached upon by eager Y's. In the third book of her trilogy dedicated to the cohorts of "Workforce Crisis", organizational expert Tammy Erickson shows X'ers how to find their own voice and finally get the career they want. Erickson's strong demographic research reveals why each generation acts the way it does and why X'ers are often left feeling independent but ignored, driven but distrustful of institutions and of the mainstream. With this understanding in hand, X'ers can approach their colleagues and their work more constructively. Erickson's research also reveals how the new generations in the workplace are shaping the future of work. Now, as they begin to assume leadership positions, is a perfect time for X'ers to evaluate the different options offered by changes in technology, the new dynamic global economy, and societal values. The book includes frameworks for evaluating what kind of workplace and what kind of job is perfect for each X reader personally; it also suggests both corporate and entrepreneurial pathways and helps X'ers identify new opportunities that are just now becoming available. Finally, Erickson reveals how Gen X'ers can use their unique capabilities to become leaders of the future.
