not much new in this book. it contains little new info on the y2k problem, and nothing that is not immediately obvious in terms of investment alternatives. ok, there is a year 2000 problem and it may cause economic disruptions. but, like every other crisis - the best way to get rich is to write a book about getting rich. save your money!!

I would like to thank the author for this book as it is the first one I read on Y2K. It got me started on researching the problem and learning about the metals and investing. After reading a few other Y2K related investment books (my favorite is The Survivors Guide to the year 2000 by David Epp also available on Amazon.com. I heard him on Tony's radio program) I am making over 20 percent per month in the market. If what these guys predict comes true I expect to win the lottery in a few more months. And I won't be the first one they have helped become a millionaire.

The Year 2000 has been dumped in all our laps. Tony's message is loud and clear. Understand how you can be impacted, and take the necessary actions. He not only explains what is going to happen, but why it is going to happen. He offers a variety of scenarios that the reader can take to insure his or her financial health, post 2000. This is a source book for many of the articles and thoughts of the experts.

Just saw the author on CSPAN with Sen. Horn and Koskinen from the White House - an excellent program. Keyes describes the Y2K situation in a refreshing; 'I'm learning, too' style so that average people can understand. I also appreciated that he refers to established, well-known experts to make a point so we're not expected to rely on his observations alone. I think the errors mentioned by another reviewer are from the transcripts of live conversations from Keyes' radio program - understandable when considering he's talked to a wide variety of experts with varying degrees of comfort on the air.

Good general information about what attitude you should take in dealing with investments. The most notable information was a small piece of hidden information about the 400 year leap year adjustement that is also due in the year 2000. I wish I had more information about this topic.

This book contains some valuable information investors should know. However, I found the book difficult to read at times because of the poor grammar and misspelled words, especially in the interview sections. On content, I'd grade this book as a B+. On grammar and spelling, I'd give it a D-.
