Conquer the Crash

You Can Survive and Prosper
in a Deflationary Depression

Second Edition - includes 188 new pages!

By Robert R. Prechter, Jr.

Suppose that all the conventional financial wisdom you've heard was written on a large chalkboard. Robert Prechter's Conquer the Crash is like an eraser and box of chalk to sweep off the nonsense, and replace it with knowledge of how markets really work.

Today’s financial environment is radically different than in 2002, just a few bullish years ago. Gone are the days of buy and hold, investing camps for kids and consumers who spend their rising home values on superfluous luxuries. In that atmosphere of feverish hype, Bob Prechter once again turned the tables. Just as he had forecast the great bull market's liftoff during the deep bearishness of 1979, in 2002 Bob rushed to publish a book to warn a bullish world that a devastating bear market would ruin the unprepared.

There is no question that Conquer the Crash foresaw and explained every chapter of today's financial crisis, years before it happened – including the plunge in stocks, the collapse in home prices, the subprime debacle, liquidity crisis, the Federal Reserve's failure to turn the trend, and lots more. The unsettling part is how much of Prechter's book includes chapters about what is yet to come.

Sadly, we all know people who are holding onto their investments even as the markets slide, losing their retirement savings even as their home values spiral ever lower. Perhaps you're one of them. Maybe you've even bought into the dogma that the markets are recovering and you should wade back in.

Before you get too deep, please know this: Many of Bob Prechter's warnings in Conquer the Crash have proved uncannily accurate, but many more of the forecasts in the book still lie ahead, which makes this book more relevant now than ever. It is not too late to steer a better course for yourself and your family, but that means you absolutely cannot wait any longer to read this book.

Newly updated for 2009, Conquer the Crash now includes a vital supplement to its still-prescient original content. A brand-new CD-ROM addition, included in every new purchase of Conquer the Crash, delivers lists for:

  • The Highest-Rated Large Banks in America
  • The Largest Treasury-Only Money Market Funds
  • The Highest-Rated U.S. Insurers
  • The Two Highest-Rated Banks in each of the 50 U.S. states

What's more, one of the book's most important sections, “Services That Can Help You Survive and Prosper in a Deflationary Depression,” now has full updates of names, phone numbers and addresses. This includes an all-new list of “Money Managers with Timing and/or Allocation Models.” These are market-seasoned, active portfolio managers who have shown themselves especially knowledgeable and competent. (Of course, such approaches involve more risk than this book's “get safe” recommendations and require due diligence before proceeding.)

The supplement is a wealth of crucial protective knowledge, and it comes on an attractive CD-ROM affixed to the final page of the Conquer the Crash book itself.

Conquer the Crash readers also have exclusive access to our Conquer the Crash Readers Webpage, an ongoing guide to navigating the financial pitfalls of this massive bear market. The Readers Webpage provides Prechter a place to update the contents of Conquer the Crash so the book’s recommended services and institutions sections never lose their value. The Readers Webpage includes up-to-date lists for bank safety ratings, recommended services, safest cash equivalent funds, special reports and strategic education you cannot afford to be without.

Years ago, Bob’s comprehensive understanding of markets and social psychology allowed him to describe today’s scene in remarkable detail. That deep insight is still hard at work today, unencumbered by the popular assumption that outside events like politics, bailouts or oil prices drive markets.

Many Conquer the Crash readers have already benefited, simply by avoiding loss. We don't want you to get burned. That's why we keep saying that this book is a must-read now – before it's too late. Advice on how to protect your money does you little good after the bulk of the meltdown has occurred. Being proactive about shielding your assets will help you 10 times more than being reactive.

Read the Reviews:

  • 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, www.financialsense.com

  • Conquer the Crash is a humdinger. 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

Quotes from Affiliate reviews:

  • 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

  • · “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

  • “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.”
