From the #1 New York Times bestselling author, the groundbreaking guide that sold over two and a half million copies--now fully updated.   Bad years are coming for the unaware... but when you know what's really happening behind the scenes, you can make them the best years of your financial life.   The devaluation of the American dollar, with the subsequent inflation, is eerily similar to the chaotic markets of the 1970s. The factors that created the stagflation and the gold and silver bull markets of the late 70s and early 80s are back. As Yogi Berra said, "It's déjà vu all over again." Only this time, they're even more exaggerated--offering once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for middle-class Americans, if they look beyond the Wall Street stock-market propaganda. This book can help you panic-proof your life and your finances, and reap huge profits with relatively small investments in gold, silver, certain ETFs, mutual funds, and mining stocks.   How to Prosper During the Coming Bad Years in the 21st Century is a must-have survival and moneymaking guide for anyone who wants to profit from the rough economic seas that are upon us--and come through with their share of treasure.
