From 2002:

"This book outlines brilliantly and simply the rationale for how and why the bubble developed. Prechter will go down in history as a legend for having predicted the secular bull market and now having provided a lucid description of the economic cataclysm that unfortunately lies ahead. I urge you to read this book and give it to your loved ones. It provides great tactical advice on how to prepare yourself financially. Reading this book could make the difference between agony and comfort over the next 20 years."

- David Tice, President, Prudent Bear Funds

From 2004:

"Prechter can take credit as the godfather of the modern deflation theory."

- Kirk Washington, Benchmark magazine

From 2009:

"Rooted in decades of serious research, published in 2002, this book was a frighteningly accurate predictor of the 2008 crash. It explains the 'big picture' of how economic conditions ebb and flow over time, how to profit from them and how to avoid getting caught in the inevitable squeezes that wipe out the unwary (i.e. 99% of the world)."

- Ken McCarthy, The Independence Day Blueprint

For more reviews, please turn to the first page of this book. In the mid-2000s, optimists encouraged all kinds of risky behavior, such as: investing in stocks ("for the long run"), real estate ("it never goes down"), oil ("the world has run out"), commodities ("China must have them"), derivatives ("they will protect you"),

hedge funds ("quants have it all figured out") and countless default-prone IOUs ("they're AAA rated and guaranteed by AIG!").

Everyone agreed that deflation was impossible. The people who read Conquer the Crash got a different story.

If you were fortunate enough to have read the first edition of Robert Prechter's Conquer the Crash, your money was safe and sound as stocks, real estate, commodities and many bonds plummeted. The book reads like an ongoing script of what has happened so far. If the author is right, the most intense portion of the financial crisis is yet to come, and those who are properly positioned will not just survive, but prosper. So you can still benefit from this book.

This brand-new second edition is being published near another peak in social optimism, with the S&P stock index back above 1000, high-profile bears calling for hyperinflation, economists assuring us that the recession is over and authorities announcing that they have saved the financial system. If you trust the experts that markets will soar, that all is well and your finances are safe, read this book before it's too late. If you act soon, it could save your financial life. Today's financial and economic tribulations were a long time in the making. Many people ask, "Why didn't someone see it coming?" A New York Times bestselling book did see it coming. Over 100,000 people read it in time to protect their wealth. The book foresaw and explained the collapse in home prices, plunge in stocks, subprime debacle, liquidity crisis, the demise of Fannie and Freddie, the Federal Reserve's failure to turn the trend, and lots more. The book was Robert Prechter's Conquer the Crash, published in early 2002, when the Dow was above 10,000 and the financial world was partying around-the-clock.

Fast forward to today: the average U.S. homeowner has suffered a decline of 30% to 40% in property value. Stocks and commodities had their biggest fall since 1929-1932. Fannie Mae is a zombie corporation under the government's protection. The Fed has pushed every button at its disposal (and then some), to no avail. If Prechter thought a whole new book would help, he'd have written one. But Conquer the Crash is a book-length forecast that's still coming true -- only some of the future has caught up with the specific predictions he published back then. There is much more to come. That means more danger, but also great opportunity. Conquer the Crash, 2nd edition offers you 188 new pages of vital information (480 pages total) plus all the original forecasts and recommendations that make the book more compelling and relevant than the day it published.

In every disaster, only a very few people prepare themselves beforehand. Think about investor enthusiasm in 2005-2008, and you'll realize it's true. Even fewer people will be ready for the soon-approaching, next leg down of the unfolding depression. In this 2nd edition, Prechter gives a warning he's never had to include in 30 years of publishing -- namely, that the doors to financial safety are closing all over the world. In other words, prudent people need to act while they can. Conquer the Crash, 2nd Edition readers will receive exclusive online access to the Conquer the Crash Readers Page, where Prechter continually updates the book's recommended services and institutions.
