The Reviews Are In...

“His book, Conquer the Crash, is the ultimate reference book on deflation—The Deflationist Bible. The general importance of the inflation-deflation debate lies in its investment implications—inflation means investing in one set of assets, and deflation in a different set of assets. Assets appropriate for an inflationary environment can lose dramatically in a deflationary environment. The opposite is also true—assets appropriate for a deflationary environment can lose value dramatically in an inflationary environment. Whether one believes in a coming deflationary depression or not, one must nevertheless read the book and understand its arguments.”

-Krassimir Petrov, PhD in Economics, Ohio State University

“Most of what we read about in the financial columns today was brilliantly explained by Robert Prechter in his best seller of 2004 [paperback edition], Conquer the Crash....His explanation then of the likely unfolding of events is closer to what is happening right now than any other commentator present or past.”

-Bill Bonner, quoting a reader from Australia, Bits of News

“Reading this book today, it seems as if Prechter had a crystal ball. That’s why his current view of the market is so compelling....He says the ‘credit implosion’ is not finished. Much like Japan, he predicts, we’ll have to live through a long period of declining assets, summed up in one word: deflation.”

-Terry Savage, Chicago Sun Times

“After I read the book, I gave it to my wife to read and then ordered a copy for each one of my three sons. I urge all investors to read this book to understand what is ahead of us. Then read it to prepare yourself financially to weather the storms that are surely coming.”

-Jim Puplava, FinancialSense.com

 “Robert Prechter, an expert on wave analysis, offers an unconventional argument on the rare phenomenon of deflationary depression in his book Conquer the Crash. Although wave analysis is subjective in nature and you may not agree with Prechter’s conclusions, his arguments are worth considering.”

-Yves Courtois, CFA Magazine

“After reading Conquer the Crash carefully, I am saying that this is “must reading” for anyone who has even the slightest interest in the stock market and his or her own investing. Prechter’s fascinating chapters on the Federal Reserve, the debt situation, and what he calls the coming deflation, is worth ten times the price of the book alone. This is an amazing work, and one that is calculated to make you think deeply. I might even say that this book will astound you with its theses and its conclusions.”

-Richard Russell, Dow Theory Letters

 “After almost 50 years in the stock market, I can tell you, without equivocation, that Bob Prechter’s new book, Conquer the Crash, is a must read for every thinking investor. It is chock full of valuable historical data and principled insights not found elsewhere. Ignore this book at your peril.”

-Charles Allmon, President, Growth Stock Outlook

 “While most will be crushed by the weight of their own mortgage and credit card debt, readers of this book can take advantage of a once in a lifetime investment opportunity.”

-Lawrence G. McMillan, The Option Strategist

“Conquer the Crash is required reading. It contains some of the clearest, easiest-to-understand material I’ve ever read on Elliott wave. But more important, its real charm, and its usefulness, comes from the fact that Bob Prechter is writing for average folks who probably haven’t really given much thought to what might happen to the economy in the years ahead. And while some of the insights in Conquer the Crash are scary enough, this isn’t really a doom-and-gloom piece. It’s chock full of practical tips for specific actions you can and should take right now.”

-Timothy L. Bost, Editor, Financial Cycles

 “This book requires the usual investor to rethink how he evaluates stocks, market psychology and the Fed. (The money emperor has no clothes.). But most important, Bob tells us how to protect ourselves when/if the totally unexpected hits - a deflationary depression.”

-R.E. McMaster, The Reaper

"Prechter knows the facts like few others. Read this forceful argument carefully. It can save you from financial loss."

-James R. Cook, President, Investment Rarities

"All investors imbued with the idea that stocks should be bought and held forever should read this book."

-Charlie Minter and Marty Weiner, Comstock Partners, Inc.

"A compelling exposition of how both the mechanics and the psychology of the business cycle can be encapsulated in market analysis."

-Sean Corrigan, Capital-Insight.com

“Call him the ultimate contrarian. He is one man who did not flinch in the face of overwhelming majority of market commentators who predicted soaring inflation following the credit-awash policy central banks chose to drown the world in. Instead, he was steadfast in his belief that the outcome would be far more dangerous, i.e. deflation. The script he laid out in his book Conquer the Crash in 2002 has vividly played out since August 2007 as the credit implosion finally reared its ugly head.”

-Outlook PROFIT

 “This was (and is) the investment book of the century. No one else saw what was coming with such clarity and offered such spot on advice about what to do about it.”

-Ken McCarthy, Independence Day Blueprint

“Conquer the Crash woke me up to the realizations of long term changes in the economy and how they affect everyone, regardless of what news or governments try to do. Before we had read the book, we had some money in savings and a house, car payment, some debt but no real direction of how to use money or avoid the mistakes with money....Since Conquer the Crash, we are now 95% liquid, sold our house at what I believe is the top of the housing market, and are living well below our means with almost 10 times what we started with in savings....I just wanted to give you my heartfelt thanks BEFORE the crash and your predictions come true (which I believe they will).”

-Kevin McGlothan

 “This book is something every serious investor should read. The case for a deflation and depression are made in a manner that makes it almost impossible to refute. This book is a very small investment that may pay huge dividends in your understanding of the macro economic picture.”

-David Morgan, Silver-Investor

"In straightforward language, free of typical Wall Street econo-babble, Prechter builds a bullet-proof case that a deflationary depression of historic proportion is underway. It will devastate the wealth of those who do not read this book and heed its advice. Prechter calmly and rationally lays out the many options a prudent investor should follow at this juncture. Conquer the Crash could save your financial future. It is a 'must-read.' "

-Grizzly, Bearmarketcentral.com

“Here Prechter presents the case for an extreme bear market in stocks and a deflationary depression. But Prechter doesn’t leave readers staring at their brokerage statements in a cold sweat, he also presents a strategy for financial survival. But don’t expect a primer on esoteric financial instruments or a list of sure fire work-at-home schemes. Prechter’s no-nonsense recommendations would likely benefit investors even if events don’t unfold as dramatically as he expects.”

-Rob Peebles, PrudentBear.com

“All investors imbued with the idea that stocks should be bought and held forever should read this book.”

-Charlie Minter, Marty Weiner, Comstock Partners, Inc.

 “Prechter’s latest book is a must read for every serious investor. The research is top-notch and his track record is impeccable. After you read the book, pass it along to someone you care about. They will thank you.”

-John Riley, Cornerstone Investment

“It is a message that anyone with superannuation, property, a job, money in the bank, debt, a family, a career, an insurance policy, and any value in protecting yourself and your loved ones needs to read before the impact of the months and years ahead. It is a message specifically for you because the economic future will happen and you will have to live in it, prepared or not.”

-Cameron Marshall, Elliottwave.com.au.

“Essential reading for anyone who is involved in the stock market game.”

-Harry Zavallis

“Give this book a read. It may save your financial life.”

-Jim Thompson, WoodstockLetter.com

“Conquer the Crash is worth 20 times its price and its contents are invaluable.”

-Colm K. Dillon (Amazon Reviewer)

“I have to shut my mouth around people who have lost 50% while I have gained 100% in one account. Do yourself a favor and read Conquer the Crash without delay.”

-Biotechmgr (blog)

“This book came out around the bottom of the market in the early 2000's and made it to the best seller list. Here it is 6 years later and eerily everything unfolds as if following a script written by Prechter.”

-J. Magill (Amazon Reviewer)

“I listened to CNN, CNBC, FOOL, CBS and a number of economists and no one predicted market meltdown…this guy [Prechter] has it.”

-Paul Philipose (Amazon Reviewer)

“I read Conquer the Crash, and I have never been so riveted with a non-fiction book in my entire life. He describes things that had already begun to happen, and he wrote this book in 2002! Conquer the Crash describes how we get to, what will happen, and how to survive a deflationary depression.”

-David Brown (blog)

“You will miss a valuable education and new insights into the world of economics that may save your skin, if you miss this book.”

-Wayne Thomas (Amazon Reviewer)

“Six years from his being a voice in the wilderness on deflation, most has come to pass now. It is frightening, even for the ‘prepared.’”

-Tom McGraw, (email)
