Welcome to our page on early bears! Unfortunately they were early, which is the same as being wrong when you are trying to implement a financial survival strategy. Read some of the literature at the links and see if it is so far-off. Chances are, if these guys hadn't been around predicting doom and gloom, we might have indeed suffered a financial calamity. Since they were around to warn us, perhaps their efforts helped stall that reckoning. Please visit our book page, acquire some of these books, including some older ones, dust them off, and give them a good read. Then ask yourself why we haven't suffered the financial calamities they were anticipating. We're sure you'll find their books thoughtfully written and quite sobering, to say the least. Be sure to pick out the financial safety strategies that make sense to pursue and implement them.
