Fear Greed And The End Of The Rainbow

For fifteen years the bull has wrestled the bear into submission. But I am convinced that the bear's time will come. This century began with a bear market, which started in December of 1899 and hit bottom in June 1900, and it could very well end with one too. -- Andrew SarlosNorth Americans are frenetic about stocks, convinced the markets have nowhere to go but up. Each month, more and more novice investors pull their money out of stagnant bank accounts and low-interest GICs and plough them into mutual funds and similar investments. No one wants to be left out in the cold.As we approach the end of the twentieth century, the stock markets are enjoying an unprecedented period of growth and prosperity. Since the start of this most recent bull market, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has recorded an extraordinary 800 per cent gain. In just two short years, it has smashed through the 4000, 5000, 6000 and 7000 barriers. But the market is increasingly volatile, swinging up and down from week to week.In Fear, Greed and the End of the Rainbow, Andrew Sarlos sounds a prescient alarm. History tells us, he says, that the market is based on a cycle of upswings and downswings, and that now the market is about to turn once again. By examining statistical data such as history and market trends, Sarlos makes a convincing argument for a coming market correction of immense proportions. He predicts this inevitable bear market will last into the next millennium.Those lucky enough to heed Sarlos's warnings, however, will be able to avoid what could be the biggest mistake of their investment careers. By protecting your money and preparing for the future, Sarlos shows you how not only tosurvive, but to prosper through the next stock market crash.Fear, Greed and the End of the Rainbow is arguably one of the best financial books of the late 20th century.... -- Quill & Quire...a provocative, immensely readable book. It's an essential for every investor. -- Quill &QuireSarlos' book is level-headed and thoroughly researched. -- Maclean's magazine
