Product Description
A practical guide to preparing for the next phase of the financial meltdown From the authors who were the first to predict Phase I of our current economic downturn-in their landmark 2006 book, America's Bubble Economy-comes their insightful sequel discussing their predictions for the next phase of the Bubble Economy. It may seem like the worst has come and gone, but it hasn't. With their proven track record of accurate predictions-which most financial professionals and economists missed-the authors explain how and why the next phase of the financial meltdown is about to hit. Things are not going back to how they were before. Instead, we are moving through uncharted territory, with new challenges and opportunities that few people can anticipate. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, Aftershock shows readers how to seek safety and profits in these dynamic economic conditions. - Discusses how to protect assets, businesses, and jobs before and during the second wave of financial meltdown
- Provides clear and accurate advice on how to profit from the collapsing bubbles
- Offer focused guidance regarding real estate, which will continue to be a pressing concern for many
The authors' first book was chosen by Kiplinger's as one of the 30 Best Business Books of 2006, and its accuracy has been hailed by Paul Farrell of Dow Jones MarketWatch when he said "America's Bubble Economy's Predictions, though ignored, were accurate." Don't miss out on these time tested author's proven advice for how to mange your money during the coming financial meltdown.

Excellent book November 20, 2009
Brian Z (California)
I normally read 2 econ/market related books a month. Aftershock is one of the best financial books I have seen in a long time. It is easy read, full of solid facts and, predicts what is about to come- without double talk. Simply put, the authors are what you may call a "one handed" economists. They give it to you straight and put their credibility on the line. And they have the credibility to be believable. They are among the very few economists who, in 2006, in the "America's Bubble Economy", predicted the economic chaos that we are now in. They predicted the financial meltdown very precisely and told us exactly how it was going to happen! Now in the Aftershock they make their prediction for the next 3-5 years. It is not all doom and gloom. They tell you their reasons for the coming inevitable crises and show you, with very specific recommendations, how to protect yourself. They also tell you how it is going to end. This book is a Must read for anyone who is in the Market as well as those who care about their financial future. Highly recommended.

This was an interesting read. Few economists are willing to make short term macro and market calls, so the authors definitely have the courage of their convictions. You will not find any two-handed economics here.

In June a friend referred me to the authors' original book -Americas Bubble Economy. After reading it I was truly amazed at how well they predicted the current crisis three to four years ago. I am an investment manager by trade and well aware of the state of the economy. I read a lot of books, newspapers, blogs, newsletters and anything else I can get my hands on. My job and my passion revolve around investments and markets. As such I feel I am overly qualified to state that their original book and now Aftershock, are two readings that are essential for those that want to understand what is happening in the economy and where we are going.
I have recommended Aftershock to a few friends and clients that want to understand today's economy. To date I have received two rave reviews. They claim it makes a lot of sense and best of all is incredibly easy to read and understand. Whether you are an investment professional or someone that hasn't taken econ 101, this is a must read.
AFTERSHOCK - Failure to read could harm your financial health! November 2, 2009

I had the opportunity to meet Bob and Dave Wiedemer back in May 09 as a result of some business I was conducting. At that time they were hard at work on AFTERSHOCK - their second book. They gave me a copy of their original book - America's Bubble Economy. As soon as I read it, I was sold on their vision and philosophy of the markets. In fact I wished I had found the book back in March of 08. At that time, I was having a running argument with my financial advisors at Bernstein Alliance regarding the direction of the markets. I felt sure, based on all my research, that we were headed into a major correction, but did not have the clean, well documented framework around my arguments that were articulated in America's Bubble Economy.
I continued to pester the Wiedemers for an early copy of their second book AFTERSHOCK, which they graciously provided to me in August. I devoured the book over the next few days and could not find any flaws in their logic. The book is very well laid out, extremely insightful and very easy to read. While I must admit I follow no one single investment strategy, I am in the process of slowly repositioning my investments to incorporate their recommended approach for 25 to 40% of my invested assets.
For anyone who is inherently uncomfortable with their current investment options, tired of the 2 minute talking heads with their random predictions, and single brokers claiming they know which stocks to buy, AFTERSHOCK is a must read. AFTERSHOCK provides an original way to look at the current market volatility and turmoil. If after reading AFTERSHOCK, one has any doubts as to their predictions, I would strongly encourage you to read their first book America's Bubble Economy, to get a sense of just how accurately they predicted the "Great Recession" we are currently experiencing.
David and Bob Wiedemer's first book, America's Bubble Economy, published in Oct. 06, not only correctly predicted the "Great Recession" we are in before it started, but more importantly they predicted it for the right reasons in the right order. They predicted it would begin with the deflating of the sub prime loan bubble and then spread to the housing bubble, credit bubble, stock market bubble and finally consumer spending.
One point of disclosure please. I have become so convinced of their vision and philosophy that I elected to join their economic consulting company as the COO. I hope you find as much wisdom and pleasure in Aftershock as I did.
