 Peter Schiff--a prophet not regarded in his own country October 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Today I watched Peter's cogent and ever-consistent message concerning the economic crisis we're in (CNN 10-4). Contrast that with Stephen Leeb's naive view on how the bailout is a must need for us: "the house is already on fire." Well, I'd agree with Dr. Leeb but the last thing I'd be doing now is giving more power to the arsonist (the FED and the government). I've found that one of the best ways of determining the efficacy of any theory is to see how it's predictions align with reality. From that perspective, Schiff has been spot-on throughout (as exemplified in CRASH PROOF), all the while facing CONSTANT derision from a never-ending stream of idiots paraded in front of our tv screens as expert minds. Dr. Leeb's website reveals his own misunderstanding of our situation as recently as his 2008 market outlook: "Looking ahead, we can't help but be somewhat optimistic. The stock market itself is perhaps the best indicator of what's happening in the economy, and the message it's throwing off is fairly bullish.".
Leeb typifies the same people who never saw the severity, much less the cause, of the issue..when it became too big to Pollyanna away, they blindly promote solutions that will invariably lead to even greater and more certain disaster.
In the spirit of analogies, I liken our economic situation to a pot of chili simmering away on a stove. The privileged among us (the FED cowards and affiliated Wall Street beneficiaries) indulge until there's half the pot missing. They then add water--taken from OUR own well --(liquidity) to try and put back what they stole away with initially. These idiots would have us believe that adding a gallon of water to the remaining chili would somehow leave it spicier!
HERE IS WISDOM--IF YOU WANT TO BEST PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE CERTAIN & COMING PURGE OF OUR ECONOMY, CRASH PROOF IS A MUST READ!!
In all, I'm SO THANKFUL that we have a voice in the wilderness like Peter Schiff! Peter, you and your father are TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOTS and this nation owes you a sincere debt of gratitude! Thanks so much & God Bless you/r family!
 In the midst of a problem turn towards the solution October 2, 2008

I read this book when I saw the writing on the wall back in 2006. Obviously Schiff was correct about the problems facing America but staring at problems does not create a workable solution.
The fear began to hit in 2006 and that's when commodity stocks exponentially increased. Sorry people, but that boat has already sailed. Hoarding physical gold will not help your finances.
2006/2007 was the worst financial years of my life because I worried and was afraid of the future and doing so led me to make some stupid decisions. Now, when I think about my financial goals and put them on paper I tend to pick good quality stocks/investments.
In the midst of the crisis that Schiff and others predicted I just focus now on my own financial goals for this year and have seen a substantial increase in wealth in a new business. This is due to the fact I, on an individual basis, do what corporations have done all along. The result is nothing short of amazing.

The book is frightening to read if you have any savings or investments. The solution to protecting your money and investments is to put your money into the authors investment vehicles. Worth reading, but actions recommended are too drastic for most people and, at least in my opinion, not mainstream enough to be considered safe investments.
Heap on the praise. October 1, 2008

Peter Schiff... the name to me meant nothing mere days ago. That is, until I began watching a few Youtube videos featuring Peter. He was predicting this credit collapse and systematic devaluation of the dollar in 2007 due to government intervention in this whole debacle. So far he has shown a uncanny ability for correct predictions, and yet at the same time he has been laughed and scoffed at on many financial programs when only the very first signs we're beginning to unveil themselves. I highly recommend Crash Proof to anyone, whether s/he be a neophyte in finances or Adept that is willing to broaden not only his portfolio but also his view as to what constitutes a Bull market.

There is no specipic recomendations, to much generalisations.
Is a paid ( by ourselves) propaganda of his financial letter.
Sorry to be frank, but,to me,the book is a grate deception.
