No new information than what was offered in Crash Proof 2.0
Highly disappointed with this book. The first 275 pages are just a historical rewind of how we got into the situation we are in today. Again, nothing Peter hasn't already covered. Check out page 284 the paragraph title "The Three Legged Stool". He basically states that his strategy 1. quality dividend paying foreign stocks in the right sectors. 2. Liquidity and less volatile investments, such as cash and foreign bonds. 3. Gold and gold mining stocks, hasn't changed. He states he has no reason to change course now and you can read his previous books to get the scoop on the strategy....well damn, why exactly did I buy this book then?
People are looking for specifics to take action and when you dig deep and look at what he breaks out for his 3 points, it's still too high level for the lay person to go investigate or take action. I can get over that he's pitching his company too. However, the lack of real substance, specifics just annoyed me. I really felt like the joke was on me that I would buy another one of his books. Don't worry, I've learned my lesson, never again.
