Book Review: Aftershock

loading...
The authors of Aftershock comprise a team of three: David Wiedemer, Robert A. Wiedemer and Cindy Spitzer. After completing their studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, David with a Ph.D. in Economics and Robert with an M.B.A., the two brothers started the economic data analysis and investment-advising firm, Absolute Investment Management. Cindy Spitzer is President of Aftershock Consultants, a company providing investment advice to both individuals and businesses.
Aftershock walks a fine line between plain-speak economic forecasting and extremely assertive (dis)investment advice. As evident from the title, this book delivers a thinly veiled message of fear and panic. There are such section and chapter titles as, “The Bubble Quake,” “Cashing in on Chaos,” and our favorite, “Global Mega-Money Meltdown.” According to the preface, this book was produced as a benevolent effort to bring the collective wisdom of the three authors to the masses to help “protect” people from the impending financial Armageddon.
Considering all three authors stand to benefit from widespread panic regarding another financial crisis (they are all investment advisers), their conclusions must be taken with a grain of salt. Although based largely on investment advice concerning money, bond and stock markets, the authors also touch on U.S. real estate and offer specific tips to those open to all perspectives, as extreme and alarmist as they may be.

About The Author
Jeffery Marino
is an assistant editor and lead on our first tuesday news alerts, specializing in critical economic analysis and its impact on California’s real estate market.
The ever-growing LIBOR scandal will provide the shock.
It is becoming more and more apparent to more and more Americans that the puppet masters are, in actuality, the banking elite, and they, the common citizens, have been the hapless victims of a predatory system put in place by insiders and for insiders.
That system includes BIG PHARMA, BIG OIL, BIG MED, and the bankers and was constructed by the power elite to fleece the common citizen in every way possible and by every means possible.
It is that fall of that lecherous and corrupt system that will cause the true aftershock.
Once that monster has been decapitated and dispatched the human race can begin its upward climb to sustainable healthy living and prosperity—the destiny it was meant to enjoy before it was shackled in the bonds of servitude.
