 In the midst of a problem turn towards the solution October 2, 2008
1 out of 9 found this review helpful
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.

The current news explains it all. The man was right. This book reads almost like a blueprint for news that was to come months later.
I've used Peter's strategies to make money shorting financials and buying metals at various periods during the last few weeks, and I'm continuing to follow strategies he has outlined.
If you pass on this book, don't say you weren't warned. It's one of the most important books for an American family to have in its library.
