I am heavily involved in Market cycles being a WD Gann follower (for many years now) and would highly recommend this book to any similar likeminded persons.
I am also very "careful" what information I read/spend my hard earned cash on regarding these topics. There are many 'wannabees' in this market plus many that 'wanna help you remove any of your cash that they feel is theirs' with market information that has not been researched correctly with what that author originally spoke/wrote on. Nor do I give financial advice or recommendations on this topic (for the above reasons) but this book is the exception.
Mr PJ Anderson has done his background work. He most assuredly is not in the above wannabee class. His data is continually backed up with facts that can be personally verified and lays out our whole Current financial setup Worldwide and "why is it so?".
If you ever had any doubts about our various countries markets being inter related, read this Book.
P.S. No I am not an employee nor financially tied to Mr Anderson or his company in any way other than a fellow WD Gann supporter.
A very worthwhile read for those who want to know!
However, some people will dismiss its conclusions, I'm on the author's side here but can offer nothing to change such views. So maybe it comes down to it being a bet as to who is right. Overall, economists of nearly every hue have failed to impress me, but those that do are referenced in this book - and they are kept in the shadows thanks to the boundaries of a selective educational system. So all this enigmatic talk may serve to indicate how deep the material actually goes, or can go for a receptive mind. As simple history it's a revelation. I had no idea the world has consistently been so corrupt!
Overall this is one of a few books I would want the people I love to know and understand, even at a basic level.
Thank you Phil. (I think the sting is in the Dragon’s Tail.)
