Product Description The Little Book that helps investors avoid big losses in an economic downturn In the wake of falling stock and real estate prices, the American economy is poised for a decade-long bear market, so says Peter Schiff. After he accurately predicted the current market turmoil, savvy investors should pay attention--and start protecting their assets now, before the markets take their toll. The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets shows investors how to stay safe and stay liquid during economic downturns. Using economic history as a guide, Schiff looks at the bear markets that followed the bull markets of the 1920s and 1960s to predict what the American economy will look like after it corrects for the tech and real estate bubbles of the 1990s and early 2000s. Combining financial, economic, and political perspectives, Schiff looks at what worked in those earlier bear markets and predicts what strategies are most likely to work over the next ten years. In the end, Schiff argues that the next decade will most closely resemble the 1970s, complete with inflation, rising interest rates, and soaring commodity prices. This reversal of trends will make past investment strategies obsolete and pose a challenge for investors trying to build and protect their wealth. Smart investing will always pay off; the key lies in using the best strategies for the market at hand. For investors who see the writing on the wall but don't know what to do about it, The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets offers a timely, critical answer.

Misleading title..Sequel to Crash Proof November 18, 2008 The book has a title that has nothing to do with the content of the book.The publishers wanted to add to their list yet another book in the 'little book of ..' Series.
Having a wrong title is not a sin.
Based on the title, you expected a thriller movie but you end up watching a romantic movie. You still enjoy if the movie is good.
The book has 13 chapters,and can be split into 2 sections.
CHAPTERS 6-13 :ACTUAL ACTIONABLE action Item ...The reason why everyone should read this book.It explains the favorite nations (Ex:australia),emerging nations,frugal consumer,emigration which is trickle now, torrent in future, hopes of emerging as a great 'emerging market' etc. I can paraphrase what he has said, add couple of quotes,but the crystal clear convincing arguments is best said by the master himself...Peter Schiff!
CHAPTERS 1-6 : The first 6 chapters are about history, facts, I said so's etc.Those chapters are boring and I think author tried to build his case to lead to chapter 6 onwards,but ended up making me (and probably you) sleepy!
If you have not read his first book Crash Proof, please read it immediately.That one is a must read. Just like most sequels to master pieces, The 'little book' is another mediocre one relative to the first book. The 4 star is because of the very important and relevant content
Full Disclosure: I am an europac client and read to his articles every week in financialsense, listen to his TV appearance from his website europac and basically sold to his views. To my best of belief, this review is unbiased.
Americans should read ... November 17, 2008 Having read Crash Proof and many other "Dollar is Doomed" books ..this give a great current synopsis on the happening events ... it is weird to read/hear Mr Schiff and is bolf predictions somehow come true. Even though flight to quality in the 'dollar' has hurt many of Mr. Schiffs investments ('currently') .. his insight on the future for our American way of life makes the book a must read.
A sound strategy from a man who has been proven right before. November 16, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A concise guide for Americans who wish to educate themselves about their current economic problems and the greater disasters to come. Non US citizens will also discover how to invest in the correct asset classes, regions and currencies.

I couldn't put the book down. I got it Friday night & finished it Sunday morning. He is right on!
For those who do not read the book, they will be blind sighted and their lives will be turned upside down if not destroyed. For those who read it and take action now, will prosper.
America, like the Titanic has hit an iceberg, Congress and the Fed are playing I hockey on the top decks and rearranging chairs. No one expect Peter Schiff and Ron Paul are sounding the alarm. Those who get to the life boats first will be the only ones saved. I highlighted the important parts of the book and will loan it out to my close friends and associates for one day. All they have to do is read the highlighted parts, and then act!
If they don't read the highlighted parts in a day I have other dear friends that have to read it. It will be their loss if they don't at least read the highlighted parts.
If you don't get the book for yourselves, get it for your friends.
What to do in this crazy market? November 1, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The author of this book, Peter D. Schiff, is the head of a brokerage firm that called this bear market and advised people to adjust their assets accordingly while there was still time to do so. He's also predicting that this market will last for a decade. I'm not certain about that, but I did appreciate the insight he provides from studying bear markets in the 30s and 70s to see how the US economy might adjust. His strategies come from what constituted successful moves in those markets. His main prediction is the next decade will mirror the 1970s, complete with high inflation and interest rates, as well as an increase in commodity prices. Even if you don't agree with all of the advice, it's a great time to read this book.
Another book I've really enjoyed recently during the topsy turvy market is The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book. Not an investment book, obviously, just a book to keep my sanity!
