"Conquer the Crash woke me up to the realizations of long term changes in the economy and how they affect everyone. I just wanted to give you my heartfelt thanks BEFORE the crash and your predictions come true (which I believe they will)." --Kevin McGlothan, email

"Conquer the Crash is the ultimate reference book on deflation. The general importance of the inflation-deflation debate lies in its investment implications--inflation means investing in one set of assets, and deflation in a different set of assets. Whether one believes in a coming deflationary depression or not, one must nevertheless read the book and understand its arguments." --Krassimir Petrov, PhD (blog)

"Most of what we read about in the financial columns today was brilliantly explained by Robert Prechter in his best seller, Conquer the Crash....His explanation then of the likely unfolding of events is closer to what is happening right now than any other commentator present or past." --Bill Bonner, quoting a reader from Australia, Bits of News

"The chapter on real estate was particularly prescient [in forecasting] the games played by banks, mortgage brokers and property appraisers--the no-money down loans, the juiced up home valuations, the home equity withdrawals that were bigger than properties were worth--that made the credit binge possible. And there was this warning: Financial institutions that invest in mortgage-backed securities will 'surely regret' it.... The good news--if you can call it that--is that when the economy, the stock market and real estate finally hit bottom, there's going to be one heck of a buying opportunity. Even Mr. Prechter agrees on that. So it wouldn't hurt to keep some cash on hand, just in case he turns out to be right." --John Heinzl, Globe and Mail
