About the Author
My greatest wish for you is that this book changes your life by changing your outlook, and in turn brings you prosperity in the tough times ahead.
Many of the predictions I made in this book have already come to pass. The stock market crash of 2008, the bursting of the real estate bubble, the tsunami of foreclosures, Mortgage Backed Securities causing the financial crisis to be transmitted around the world instantly, and Ben Bernanke’s overreaction to the threat of deflation with massive currency creation. And I believe it’s only a matter of time before the rest of my predictions come true.
For this printing I have chosen to leave the original
