Product Description: This New York Times and Wall Street Journal business best-seller first presents the economic facts that show why a massive deflation is not just inevitable, it's already under way. The second part of Conquer the Crash is practical - virtually each of the 21 chapter titles explains How To, What To and you Should.
Amazon.com Review: In Conquer the Crash, Robert Prechter explains why he thinks the boom times are behind us. Based on his interpretation of the Elliott Wave principle (an idea premised on the notion that mass investor psychology is what really drives markets), Prechter believes that the U.S. economy is about to enter into a deflationary depression that few investors are prepared to deal with. In making his case, Prechter assembles an impressive array of data that in essence suggests that the bill for the last 10 years of market excess is about to come due. The second half of the book shows how to avoid becoming "a zombie-eyed victim of the depression" and offers advice on protecting one's assets in a deflationary environment (cash is king). If there's any good news in the future that Prechter sees coming (other than how to avoid it), it's that all-out depressions don't last very long. Conquer the Crash should appeal to gloom-and-doom investors and to those desperately looking for a safe haven from the uncertainties of today's markets. --Harry C. Edwards

Great debt of gratitude to Robert Prechter I have followed the advice of Robert Prechter for decades and long ago discovered that he is always very early in his predictions but hardly ever wrong. He kept me from losing any money in all these years for which I owe him a great debt. I was able to retire early and feel safe as possible in, currently, short-term Treasuries. Paper profits don't mean a thing unless you can actually gain in real terms. The secret is to not lose any of your capital and to stay far away from the herd mentality.
Wow......... so Prechter was a few years early This book came out around the bottom of the market in the early 2000's and made it to the best seller list.
Here it is 6 years later and eerily everything unfolds as if following a script written by Prechter.
As he was early in calling for the top in the market, so too was he early in calling for the events we currently see.
When this book hits the best seller list again, most likely the bear market is over and those who didn't pay attention will have lost everything.
Good Call, Mr. Prechter.
Good advices The author provides good practical advices on how to live through the difficult times he foresees. I was slightly disappointed in not finding in the book much of his "charted expectations" of how the market crash shall paly out, although he often refers to his other book ("At the crest of the tidal wave") for this. So I guess I should buy that one as well. Also, not much insight is given with respect to Elliot Wave theory, of whom mr Prechter is an eminent scholar. Apparently the only book the author wrote to provide it is "Elliot Wave Principle".
Pleased With This Book Must admit I'm only a bit more than half way thru the book. However, I bought it after reading other positive reviews & I'm not disappointed. The premise is SAFETY with your capital. The horrendous machinations we're seeing today in the world of finance was predicted by the author 4 years ago. His recomendations for safe havens for your money are excellent.
Gives methods to determine strength of your bank & money markets as well. Well worth the purchase price. Get into prec. metals before it's too late!
