    About this ebook

    The first and last economic depression of your lifetime is happening right now.

    Did you know our stock market and economy have peaked every 40 years due to generational spending trends: in 1929, 1968 and 2009? Did you know that oil and commodity prices have peaked every 30 years: in 1920, 1951, 1980 and 2010? The three massive bubbles of recent decades – stocks, real estate and commodities – have all peaked and are now deflating simultaneously.

    Harry S. Dent Jr. has observed these trends for decades and developed techniques to predict their impact. In The Great Depression Ahead, he identifies the following:

    • The economy appears to recover before stock prices start to crash again in late 2010 and flatten around mid-2012
    • Gold and precious metals will appear to be a hedge at first, but will ultimately collapse after mid- to late 2010
    • A first major stock rally between mid-2012 and mid-2017 will be followed by a final setback in late 2019 and early 2020
    • The next global bull market will be from 2020–2023

    Despite the dire news, there are real new-wealth opportunities ahead. Dent offers practical advice to allow families, businesses, investors and individuals to manage their assets correctly and come out on top.

    Your life is changing for reasons outside of your control. You can’t change the direction of the winds, but you can reset your sails!

      This gets a four star endorsement. I'm not sure I'm 100% behind everything laid out by Dent. I'm bothered by the sometimes misaligned years he gives for the next market crash. It's late 2009, then it's early 2010 or it's 2012-14. But, that doesn't undermine the book in full for me. I like that he's hanging his predictions out there and much of the reasoning is sound. I've always been a skeptic and this book feeds into that; so I was an easy sell. What I really enjoyed was the chapter on what level risk we REALLY take when putting our cash into the market. It IS far higher than we will let ourselves believe. THAT's the danger to investing. I also liked the tip on purchasing SH to profit on a decline without buying on margin. It also makes a nice hedge if you want to keep your money in market. I'm following the author's advice for now and the next 6-9 months. If he's right, I'll be VERY happy. If not, I can adjust easily. Worth reading but be prepared: I'm not an economist, statistician, or financial adviser, but I'm fairly versed in these areas from lot's of independent reading; so while the material is not over the top, there is no time spent explaining many terms or concepts to readers. You either know it or figure it out as you go.

      This book will give you many interesting things to consider as you plan your investing strategy for the coming years. The demographic trends provide a glimpse into the future, and I believe he is on the right track. I wouldn't take anything as absolute, and adjustments will need to be made, but this is a start. Overall, I found it to be thought provoking about the possibilities ahead.The book also provides a web page where you can sign up for an email newsletter for updates as the economic conditions change.
