Purchase options and add-ons

A fully updated follow-up to Peter Schiff's bestselling financial survival guide-Crash Proof, which described the economy as a house of cards on the verge of collapse, with over 80 pages of new material

The economic and monetary disaster which seasoned prognosticator Peter Schiff predicted is no longer hypothetical-it is here today. And nobody understands what to do in this situation better than the man who saw it coming. For more than a decade, Schiff has not only observed the economy, but also helped his clients restructure their portfolios to reflect his outlook. What he sees today is a nation facing an economic storm brought on by growing federal, personal, and corporate debt; too little savings; and a declining dollar. Crash Proof 2.0 picks up right where the first edition-a bestselling book that predicted the current market mayhem-left off. This timely guide takes into account the dramatic economic shifts that are reshaping the world and provides you with the insights and information to navigate the dangerous terrain. Throughout the book, Schiff explains the factors that will affect your future financial stability and offers a specific three step plan to battle the current economic downturn.

  • Discusses the measures you can take to protect yourself-as well as profit-during these difficult times
  • Offers an insightful examination of the structural weaknesses underlying the economic meltdown
  • Outlines a plan that will allow you to preserve wealth and protect the purchasing power of your savings
  • Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, Crash Proof 2.0 will help you survive and thrive during the coming years of economic uncertainty.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

Praise for Crash Proof and Crash Proof 2.0

Schiff was warning us about our fragile economic foundation long before the first cracks started to appear. There are plenty of market cheerleaders out there, but if you want advice from a market realist who has been proven right again and again, read this book.
--Glenn Beck, host, The Glenn Beck Program

The dot-com implosion proves that we all need Peter Schiff's vision of investing. His view is so global and so unique in its approach, and at a time when we all should be looking to crash-proof our portfolios, Schiff offers us this much-needed life-raft.
--Liz Claman, anchor, Fox Business Network

For those accustomed to America's economic dominance, Crash Proof is a frighteningly forthright wake-up call. But Peter Schiff is one Cassandra whose voice deserves your rapt attention. Devoid of the usual Wall Street spin, this frank and prophetic read will make you reconsider the very foundations on which your financial house is built.
--Jonathan Hoenig, Portfolio Manager, Capitalistpig Hedge Fund LLC and Fox News Channel analyst

Schiff does an outstanding job of outlining the dangers to individual investors of the current economic environment and presents a plausible plan about how to deal with the risks.
--David W. Tice, Chief Portfolio Manager, Prudent Bear Funds

A sober assessment of the financial problems facing our country. Reading this book will prepare you for potential outcomes that Wall Street and the mainstream financial media are completely unaware of.
--Bill Fleckenstein, founder and President of Fleckenstein Capital and MSN.com Money columnist

Schiff Discusses the Latest Worldwide Financial Crises

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Preview of Things to Come
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2013
Verified Purchase
We -- both Americans and the peoples of most developed nations -- are in a lot of trouble. The world is in for a great deal of hurt in the next few years, probably decades, and possibly centuries, due to a century of irresponsible decision making in which the world's leaders have blown the mother of all bubbles: a bubble in currencies themselves.

Most of what we hear about inflation, government budgets (or lack thereof), economic indicators, financial markets, and even the nature of money itself is wrong. In fact, much of it is not merely wrong, but dangerously, wildly wrong. Schiff is one of the few people, along with John Williams and a tiny handful of others, who "gets it" and has taken the time to examine the assumptions behind numbers like the "headline" Gross Domestic Product, unemployment, and budget deficit figures. The reality is nothing short of terrifying.

Everyone should read this book. Either you will come away terrified and prepared to change your life in preparation for the inevitable, or you will remain convinced that, if we just elect the right leaders, everything will basically be okay. Either way, at least you will know what the news you hear actually means, and will be a better-informed citizen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Schiff was correct about the Housing Bubble and the Debt Bubble is to be decided...
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2011
Verified Purchase
Having read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this book, I will not reiterate all the good aspects that have been covered. Given the FED printing (money creation) and the trillions given as bailouts in the US and abroad, one would have to believe in hedging against inflation and perhaps this is a smart play. We have inflation that is driven by the hikes in oil and commodity prices. The retail industry which IS America quickly raised the prices of most goods across the board and they have remained even when oil has retreated somewhat. But as long as unemployment remains high and consumer demand low, and these trillions of dollars do not end up in the hands of the masses, we will not see Hyper-inflation. The Biggest Banks (the six or so who are allowed to bid on Treasury bonds) have been content to buy Bonds when the Treasury sells and then immediately sell the bonds to the FED for an instant profit. They are content to wait for the Next Quantitative easing. Industry is sitting on trillions as there is no demand to expand. The excess monies of the top 2% have inflated the stock market and commodities to some degree. The European Debt crisis is impacting the entire world economy and one wonders if the USA is next as the FED and US banks are heavily invested in Europe. Congress is being pressured to stop the deficit spending i.e. borrowing, as US debt approaches record highs. This powder keg we are sitting on is situated among various fires and Peter's warnings may come to fruition. However, will the foreign economies survive that much more intact than the US economy? China certainly is positioned to capitalize as the US was positioned after WWI. Yet China has a housing bubble of its own. Capitalism breeds Bubbles.
Peter was Not the only person or group to predict the collapse of the housing bubble and no one can be 100% sure of the future. That said, I am grateful for the insights and understandings presented in this text. I highly recommend this to those wishing to learn more about how the economy works.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Titanic, 100 Years Later?
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2012
Verified Purchase
The usinkable Titanic, too big to fail, made its way across the North Atlantic 100 years ago bound for New York. Its leader, Capt. Smith, sailed full steam ahead that fateful day and ignored seven warnings of dangerous iceburgs. He and the White Star Line were there to make a name for themselves. No one was prepared for disaster and no one expected it. I know the story well. It was given to me by a survivor, a close relative. Could the birth, life, and death of this magnificent ship be a parallel to the greatest nation ever, the USA? Peter Schiff does a stunning job in this book, Crash Proof 2.0, at making a convincing case for yes. Tomorrow, I will listen to my investment advisor argue that we are not in troubled waters with our dollar and that this is not the time to get in the lifeboat. But it is! Read this book. Don't ignore the warnings. We are taking on water. It will soon be apparent. Thank you, Peter Schiff.

3.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars Great Investment Ideas, 1 Star Poor Investment Results
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2012
Verified Purchase
This book has some good investment ideas not found in other economy "crash" books also written by authors who predicted the stock, housing, and personal credit market downturns.

But when it comes to actual investment implementation, Peter Schiff tries to sell you on his "easy to get started and into" own "Euro Pacific Capital (EPC)" foreign investment firm (for easy foreign high-dividend stocks supposedly yielding better than US high-dividend stocks, and easy foreign currency holdings yielding supposedly better than US cash holdings, etc.), but EPC takes a 4.5% upfront account opening fee which is totally outrageous, and then another yearly fee. Peter Schiff's book "Crash 2.0" reports expected 8% returns on foreign investments, but if you factor that his EPC fees take 4.5% off of the first years opening investment, your profits, if his EPC mutual funds make a profit, suddenly are not much different than US high-dividend fund yields.

This means to profit you need to make 4.5% in fees the first year, plus 3.0% inflation, or at least 7.5% on your investments the first year just to break even. So given Peter Schiff's reported expected 8% return on foreign investments, you're not doing well for growth the first year (which is his books mantra), and you're only doing well for capital preservation (stopping the capital you have from losing its value).

It makes you wonder if they're charging 4.5% for opening the account for the first year how many customers actually stick around with EPC for the second year, in so much that they have to pull 4.5% out of your investment in the first year. If they make you money year in and year out, why the upfront 4.5% fee for opening the account the first year?

Reviewed in Italy on August 12, 2022

The book has some interesting historical facts on investing and the US markets but some of the advice is dated. For example, the author states that gold is a good hedge against inflation, yet at this moment gold is not increasing in value as inflation increases; new factors have come into play such as crypto. I would not recommend this book as a guide to investing in the current global markets situation. Definitely not a book for the debutant.

Everyone on Earth should read this book, not just Americans. What is going to be held responsible for the inevitable effect of funding a lifestyle and economy on debt is in fact innocent. C-O-V-I-D is the patsy, not the cause of what is now occurring.

Reviewed in Australia on July 5, 2018

This was great from the perspective of being written just before the GCF, with follow up a few years later. The lessons from this book apply just as much in 2018, with a lot of parallels to the current situation. Peter Schiff has an engaging style, making it easy for the layperson to follow. He uses a lot of analogy and examples, rather than trying to dazzle with jargon and figures.
