Nutty Nineties Explained
I have spent literally thousands of hours over the last several years attempting to understand the nutty nineties stock market bubble, excess credit creation, global economic conditions, Federal Reserve policy implications, deflation/inflation, Austrian School of Economics and investment strategies in a post bubble world. I have no doubt that Dr. Weiss's book would have drastically shortened my learning curve!

Most financial publications are written in academic or industry lingo making them hard to digest for a novice, and just plain difficult to read. Dr. Weiss presents the clearest most simple explanation for many facets of our previous stock market boom and the potential aftermath of these excesses, while most other books over complicate the subject. Dr. Weiss combines fictional tales with facts to weave a boom and bust tapestry that all but the blind can see. I thought so highly of this book, I purchased extra copies for family friends who are complete novices, as a way of introducing them into our current investment climate.

I do not necessarily agree with all of Dr. Weiss's positions, I strongly recommend this easy to read and comprehend book for the novice and market maven alike.

Plain simple language, just the facts
This book is the BEST one you'll find that could be "Bubble Economy 101" or "Bear Markets for Dummies".

If you've felt betrayed and blindsided by the stock market declines since 2000; if you have ever felt the least bit intimidated by the economists, the Wall Street pros, and the guests on financial TV and assumed they know more than you do; if you have been arguing with yourself over whether to sell your stocks; if you have been debating over whether to buy a house; if you have wondered if the yields on corporate or muni bonds are a good deal; if you've ever wondered how our economy has gotten itself into the fix it is in; if you've looked around and felt like we aren't "bouncing back" and wondered why; READ THIS BOOK!

The book is practically worth it alone for the discussion of the government bond market, and why confidence MUST be maintained in it.

The author has a "followup" website at www.crashprofits.net.

Crash Profits
Truly a worthless book written by someone who has little insight into how the capital markets really work. Comments on high yield bond and guidance about which stock in your portfolio to sell demonstrated that the author is devoid to any true investment knowledge. My credentials to make the judgments: Certified Financial Planner, MBA Degree, fee based financial advisor.
