Peter Schiff’s New Book: (1) The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets: How to Keep Your Portfolio Up When the Markets are Down

This is going to be the first of a series of posts about Peter Schiff’s new book (well, it was new in 2008), The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets: How to Keep Your Portfolio Up When the Market is Down .

Peter D. Schiff is an independent market commentator, economic analyst, best-selling author, former economic advisor to Ron Paul and the CEO of Euro Pacific Capital .  He has been speaking of a general U.S. dollar and market crash since about 2003-2004.  These “predictions” (it’s hardly fortune-telling - these were the results of some simple bread-and-butter economic analysis) are gathered up in his now best-selling book Crash Proof: How To Profit From the Coming Economic Collapse (2006).

Since the publication of Crash Proof , and especially since the Lehman Brothers collapse in September 2008, Peter Schiff has been regularly invited as a guest on CNBC, Fox, CNN and other networks around the world (he’s appeared on Canada’s BNN twice).  You can watch many of these interviews on YouTube under “PeterSchiffChannel.”  Schiff also does a live, free, weekly radio broadcast where you can call in with questions and talk to him personally.

Myself, I started reading Peter Schiff’s commentary in about 2004, when I was also embroiled in the increasing gold-bug hype from James Turk and others, and also commentators such as Robert Kiyosaki, who were speaking of a different type of economic tsunami coming (the demographic problems starting in about 2012).

Peter Schiff’s analysis is aligned with those of Jim Rogers, Ron Paul and Marc Faber .  These guys have the same basic interpretation of what’s going on, but they have different investing styles and like to emphasize different things. Jim Rogers and Marc Faber both see an irrevocable U.S. economic collapse and hence they’ve both moved to Asia - really walking their talk.  For some reason, Peter Schiff doesn’t want to emigrate, even though he offers some advice on others who wish to do so.

Over the past six months or so, I’ve been following Schiff mostly on YouTube and through his radio commentaries, but just last week I decided to finally order his latest book.  I thought that I’d present my thoughts on that book here, as well as recap its main points - in the spirit of sharing the information so you don’t have to go and buy the book yourself if you want.  I won’t tell you absolutely everything though - I’ll leave some treats for those who do want to read it directly (just as you can’t really watch every movie just from reading a review about it). :)

So, my next post will begin commentary covering the first part of the book.  Please add your own comments and thoughts on the book below if you’ve read it - or if you just have questions about anything Schiff is saying.
