The 2008 Financial Crisis was perhaps a once in a lifetime
event. You have to go back to 1907 in the U.S. to find a similar financial
panic.
All over the Internet, I've run into many gurus and private
money managers making claims about supposedly seeing it coming and supposedly
investing to avoid it and/or to take advantage of it. I've debunked many of
these claims in various articles.
There's a further opportunity here to learn something more from
the debacle. Enter Gary Karz, CFA. Many years ago, I recommended his website,
InvestorHome.com, in some of my books. Alas, Gary's day job at the
Plexus Group didn't allow him for a number of years to keep adding content to his website. Now,
he's back in the saddle and I highly recommend his recently completed report
entitled, "
The Housing Crash and Financial Crisis."
The report is broken up into several sections including: Book
Reviews, Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) Report, Articles &
Links, List of Crisis Books.
Set aside a chunk of time - there's a lot here to digest!
