Whether you are a real estate agent or investor, politically conservative or liberal, economically savvy or ignorant of the rising cost of groceries, it is worth your time and effort to read "Aftershock" by Wiedemer, Wiedemer and Spitzer.
You don't have to be a financial genius to know our current economy is anything but robust. How did we get here and why? The authors of "Aftershock" answered those questions BEFORE there was any hint of trouble. In 2006, their first book, "America's Bubble Economy", predicted our current economic mess. If we had followed their advice back then, our investment portfolios would not have taken a beating but, instead, that money would have been reinvested (or cashed) before the stock and housing markets went down.
Great, right? A lot of good that does me now. Except, according to the authors, that was only Phase I. Phase II is on the horizon; the"aftershock" of that first crash.
For those who still have money to invest, "Aftershock" gives their assesment of the safest investments before our government debt and inflated dollar cause further damage to the economy. For those who live day to day and month to month, ignorance will not be bliss if the authors' gobal economic predictions come true.
It's not a fun read, but then this is not a "fun" economy. Do yourself a favor and read it anyway.
