Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets "The book strikes at the center of conventional wisdom. It is brilliant, deep, and fun to read."
-- Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of the legendary international bestseller, Fooled By Randomness and The Black Swan
"Entertainingly and irreverently investigates the 'do-gooders' and 'world-improvers' who stir up mass hysterias, unjustified wars and financial crises, while at the same time it warns readers how to better protect themselves and their pocketbooks."
-- Congressman Ron Paul, Presidential Candidate "Learn about Fed bubbles and make Ben Bernanke unhappy: Read this book."
-- Lew Rockwell, President of The Ludwig von Mises Institute "As fun to read as it is thought-provoking and filled with fascinating insights into how the world really works. It will teach you a proper skepticism as to what we are told by the mainstream media."
-- John Mauldin, author of the New York Times bestseller, Bull's Eye Investing and Editor of Thoughts from the Frontline "I laughed aloud, I learned, and I was even offended. Behind the crafty writing, the authors share the deeper secrets of investing and push us to question what we believe. 'Think for yourself!' this book screams."
-- Steve Sjuggerud, Editor of True Wealth, one of the world's most widely read investment letters "Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets is one of the funniest and most entertaining books I have ever read. A classic for the student of the current period in history. If I had to name just one book investors should read, this is the one I would select."
-- Dr. Marc Faber, world-famous contrarian investment guru, author of the bestseller Tomorrow's Gold, Editor of the maverick Gloom Boom & Doom Report Gold: The Once and Future Money "When it comes to international monetary economics, most economists fail to connect the dots. In many cases, they fail to even see them. Gold doesn't suffer these problems. Nathan Lewis' book is a readable account of the present in light of the past for purposes of the future."
-- Steve H. Hanke, Professor of Applied Economics, The Johns Hopkins University "Gold is the ultimate hedge against crisis and inflation. You can't depend on paper money assets to protect you during a panic. Hard assets are the only guarantee as an insurance policy against bad times. This book gives you the historical perspective to prepare you for the unknown."
-- Dr. Mark Skousen, Professor of Economics, Editor of The Worldly Philosophers "Gold: The Once and Future Money is a "how-to" manual for understanding the true nature of money, and a guide to the action you should take to protect your wealth."
-- Byron W. King, Editor, Outstanding Investments "A money payment must involve a tendering of tangible money, gold or silver, or of a credit instrument entitling the owner to the undoubted right of its redemption, in gold or silver. As Nathan Lewis makes clear the world, as of the year 2008, does not possess a means of payment. That humanity is unaware of the stupendously important fact that it lives in a world without money is perhaps the most singular feature of our contemporary world."
-- Hugo Salinas Price, President, Mexican Civic Association Pro Silver "In this delectable tome, Nathan Lewis describes the booms, busts, the bubbles and the crises in the economies of dozens of countries from centuries ago to the present day. It is a romp through history, illuminating along the way money in all its forms - from wampum and shells to silver and gold - and details the catastrophic effects of inflation, deflation, floating currencies and every kind of tax a government functionary could dream to impose on an economy. Gold highlights the folly of human beings throughout history who think "the economy" is but a machine to be tinkered with and fine-tuned like a Bentley, or worse, a rusty Yugo."
-- From the foreword by Addison Wiggin, bestselling author of Financial Reckoning Day, Demise of the Dollar, and Empire of Debt and Editorial Director and Publisher of The Daily Reckoning A Maniac Commodity Trader's Guide to Making a Fortune "Kevin Kerr's new book offers a rare insight into the fast moving and fast growing commodities markets.

This is one book that you should make space for on your reading list, and your book shelf."
-- Karim Rahemtulla, Chairman, Mt. Vernon Research "Kevin Kerr is phenomenal trader, plain and simple. He knows how to spot an opportunity; he knows how to capitalize on it; and he knows how to limit his losses. During my many years on Wall Street, I've come across only a handful of supremely talented traders and investors. Kevin Kerr is one of the very best."
-- Eric J. Fry, Executive Editor, The Rude Awakening "Kevin Kerr has the keenest instincts of any commodities trader I've ever met. His recommendations are money in the bank. This book is your passport to the exciting, frantic, frustrating and potentially enormously rewarding world of futures trading. Do you want to make money in futures and options? Read this book and let a master show you not only how to trade, but how to trade to win."
-- Sean Brodrick, Editor, MoneyandMarkets.com "Any old trader can throw money into the commodity pits, although why do you think that they call them 'pits'? With Kevin Kerr as your guide to understanding the commodities markets, it is as if you have Babe Ruth as your batting coach. Kevin has that uncanny knack for doing things right, and the magic eye that can see the stitches on the fastball.

-- Karim Rahemtulla, Chairman, Mt. Vernon Research "Option strategies are often delivered in a sea of hype. It's refreshing to learn from someone like Lee who takes a conservative, no-BS approach to options and still makes investors money. I'm impressed by his frankness, his sincerity, and the way he manages risk."
-- Julia Guth, Publisher, The Oxford Club/Investment U "Lee Lowell leads us down the road of complex derivative products and takes us out the other side much more profitably. This book will show you that trading on options is not out of reach. Lee takes complex ideas and breaks them down step by step to help every trader novice to expert, master the art of options trading. I found new ideas and skills at every turn in this book and think it's a must read for the serious commodity options trader."

-- Jim Stanton, technical analyst, money manager, and Contributing Editor to the Xcelerated Profits Report "If you're new to options, Lee Lowell's Get Rich With Options is a great place to start. Old hands at trading will find much new here as well."
-- Alexander Green, Investment Director of The Oxford Club Seven Years to Seven Figures "Following Masterson's lead, the changes in my financial situation were almost immediate. In fact, my net worth has probably increased tenfold in the last five years… Seven Years to Seven Figures sounds like a tall order. But with Michael Masterson, you couldn't be in better hands."
-- Steve Sjuggerud, Editor of True Wealth, one of the world's most widely read investment letters "Michael Masterson has made a mission of helping ordinary people attain extraordinary wealth. I'm incredibly fortunate to have benefited from his advice personally. In Seven Years to Seven Figures, he shows you exactly how to make yourself rich -- and makes it almost impossible to fail. "
-- Jenny Thompson, Publisher, Health Sciences Institute "The most useful advice on getting wealthy comes from people who have done it themselves. Michael Masterson's latest book Seven Years to Seven Figures is a great example of how fortunes are made."
-- Dan Denning, author of The Bull Hunter: Tracking Today's Hottest Investments "When I left Germany to emigrate to the United States in 1989, I was 25 years old, had $3,000 to my name, and a lot of zany ideas about how the world should be. First and foremost among those people whom I owe not only my knowledge, but the original impulse to build my own fortune was Michael Masterson. I don't exaggerate when I consider him the prime catalyst of my very own American Dream. When Michael talks, I listen. What he writes I read. I heartily recommend you do the same."
-- J. Christoph Amberger, author of Hot Trading Secrets, Executive Publisher, The Taipan Group LLC Automatic Wealth for Grads "Michael Masterson has personally helped more people achieve financial independence than anyone else I know. He has been a valuable mentor in my own life. Michael's credentials go far beyond the fact that he is an extremely successful businessman. (There are thousands of those.) He has a unique gift for discerning -- and explaining in easily accessible terms what it really takes to succeed. Automatic Wealth for Grads will give any young person a tremendous headstart for achieving their financial and professional goals at a very young age."
-- Justin Ford, author of Seeds of Wealth: An Incredible Wealth-Building Plan for Your Children, Editor of Main Street Millionaire "Only time will tell whether you will have the guts and honor to follow Masterson's masterful plan. Good Luck!"
-- From the forward by Dr. Mark Skousen, Professor of Economics, Editor of The Worldly Philosophers Power and Persuasion "Over these many years of watching Michael devour books on leadership, ask probing questions of all manner of leaders, and write his daily insights, I see now where it has all lead--to a magnificent new book on leadership. If you are passionate about becoming a more effective leader, do yourself a favor and read Power and Persuasion."
-- Steve Leveen, CEO and Cofounder, Levenger "Michael Masterson's new book emphasizes vision and effective communication, and, although unconventional at times, his ideas about leadership are unassailable and will be more widely employed. I have made it required reading for everyone at Frank McKinney & Company."
-- Frank McKinney, bestselling author of Frank McKinney's Maverick Approach to Real Estate Success and Make It BIG! "I ghostwrote a book on leadership for which I personally interviewed 100 CEOs, many from big-name Fortune 500 companies and leading national brands. But I learned more about leadership by reading Michael Masterson's new book Power and Persuasion than I did from all my interviews with those 100 CEOs combined."
-- Bob Bly, Director, Center for Technical Communications and author of more than 60 books Hot Trading Secrets "Hot Trading Secrets is an excellent compilation of the various technical trading strategies created by the Taipan group. It provides any investor, novice or advanced, an important insight into the world of fast trading and the creators of the systems that take advantage of all markets and all market conditions."

-- Dan Denning, author of The Bull Hunter: Tracking Today's Hottest Investments "I've had the privilege of working with Christoph for over a decade, and watched him spend countless hours studying and mastering the inner workings of the financial markets -- fighting to figure out the secret rhythms of the markets, and how individuals can beat the giant institutions that dominate the markets. Hot Trading Secrets contains the essence of all those years of research… and delivers on its name."
-- Don Mahoney, co-author of The Rise of Gold in the 21st Century Empire of Debt "This is a powerful book. In addition to its depth, it is well written, well documented, and vastly readable. I had the feeling of seeing an X-ray of economic reality with the crust removed. It should be made mandatory reading in most circles."
-- Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of the legendary international bestseller, Fooled By Randomness and The Black Swan "Empire of Debt is not for everyone, only for those of us who hope to enjoy continuing prosperity amidst difficult conditions."
-- Eric J. Fry, Executive Editor, The Rude Awakening "[Empire of Debt] is one of the most well written, concise, candid, and informative books of its genre.

Although the authors don't claim to have a crystal ball, as far as I'm concerned, they offer as clear and likely accurate a view of the future as you're going to find. If you value your financial health, you'll read it from cover to cover. Now!"
-- Doug Casey, Chairman, Casey Research, LLC and author of Crisis Investing "This is a book that is certainly asking the right question about America's fiscally over-stretched empire."
-- Niall Ferguson, Professor of International History, Harvard University and Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution Demise of the Dollar "Addison hits the nail on the head and minces no words about the Demise of the Dollar… Addison has tied up all the loose economic ends and put them in a form that spells out the gloomy picture for the U.S. dollar. If there is a lifeboat…it's loaded with gold and other real resources and maybe a few Chinese yuan for good measure. I hope there is a seat in it for me."
-- Richard Daughty, Editor, The Mogambo Guru Economic Newsletter "Don't mourn, get ready! That's the astute message that Wiggin delivers in Demise of the Dollar. Demise of the Dollar is a must-read for every investor who hopes to preserve a high quality of life in the financially wrenching years that lie ahead."
-- Robert Ringer, author of Action! Nothing Happens Until Something Moves, Looking Out for #1, and To Be or Not to Be Intimidated?

Automatic Wealth is full of wisdom and insight filtered by a master and brought to you in a well-written and delightful style."
-- John Mauldin, author of the New York Times bestseller, Bull's Eye Investing and Editor of Thoughts from the Frontline "I am not usually a fan of this kind of book. One entitled 'Automatic Wealth' made me suspicious. But I am a fan of Michael Masterson and when I read the book I was impressed. Masterson manages to go beyond the theory to tell you exactly how real people make real money in the real world. That, I think, is his genius. He's able to open his own eyes and see for himself what actually works. The result is original, clever, and very helpful to anyone who is serious about building wealth."
-- Bill Bonner, President, Agora Inc. and New York Times bestselling author of Financial Reckoning Day and Empire of Debt "Michael Masterson has been a great friend of mine for over twenty years. I know for a fact that the strategy he teaches is the exact same strategy he has personally used to amass extraordinary wealth and prosperity for himself. He's reduced a normally daunting process down to six simple and unfailing steps YOU can absolutely use to vastly and rapidly increase your financial situation, often times doubling and redoubling your wealth every few years. This book will become your financial bible."
-- Jay Abraham, author of Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got "Michael Masterson's book is brilliant and concise, packed with breakthrough insights and unique wealth-building tips. Best of all, it's practical because it combines proven investment and financial planning advice with street-smart business and real estate secrets."
-- Robert Ringer, author of Action! Nothing Happens Until Something Moves, Looking Out for #1, and To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? Financial Reckoning Day "As Financial Reckoning Day demonstrates, artificially low interest rates and rapid credit creation policies set by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve caused the bubble in the U.S. stocks of the late '90s… Now, policies being pursued at the Fed are making the bubble worse. They are changing it from a stock market bubble to a consumption and housing bubble. And when those bubbles burst, it's going to be worse than the stock bubble…"
-- Jim Rogers, author of Investment Biker, Adventure Capitalist, and Hot Commodities "Financial Reckoning Day is in the category of scintillating sex or good vision. Something to be savored and enjoyed--before it's too late."
-- Jim Davidson, author of The Sovereign Individual "Financial Reckoning Day is a powerful and insightful vision."
-- Martin Weiss, author of Crash Profits "Not only does this marvelous book lay out exactly WHY I am frightened and screaming like a little crybaby about the economy, economic policy and fiscal policy, but it suggests lots of very good ways to make a profit on the knowledge."
-- Eric J. Fry, Executive Editor, The Rude Awakening "Surely, this book is something to behold."
