Aftermath
In his most prescriptive book to date, investment advisor James Rickards lays out the true risks to the global financial markets and offers invaluable advice on how to ride out the storm. What goes up, must come down. It’s common knowledge to all market players that the dizzying heights of the stock market will have to decline at some point—particularly since asset prices have been artificially inflated by investor optimism around the present administration, destructively low interest rates, and the infiltration of behavioral economics into our present lives. Provocative and moving, Aftermath is the book every clever investor will want to get their hands on—as soon as possible.
Wall Street Journal bestseller James Rickards shows why and how global financial markets are being artificially inflated - and what smart investors can do to protect their assets.
This book reveals how to preserve your wealth and protect your future in an age of uncertainty and instability.
Through Aftermath, you'll learn:
How behavioral economists prop up the market
Why digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are best avoided
Why passive investing has been overhyped
What the financial landscape will look like after the next crisis
