People who read books like these probably haven't heard of the internet... if they had, they would realize each book review says the same thing. Doom. Gloom. Buy an UltraShort ETF.

I know that story and agree 100% with your post. To those books and many like them, I have offered the alka-seltzer: a book that shows forecast consumers how to assess and discern quality in the future thinking they read and hear. It views expert foresight as a crucial resource, but puts sharp tools in the hands of forecast users. It is designed to be the business or policy manager's core reference in weighing up (aka rubbishing) what the media, consultants, investment brokers, industry analysts and other gurus and talking heads are saying about the future." -Adam Gordon, Author "Future Savvy" American Management Association Press, 2009 twitter: @futuresavvy

Right on Carl. Remember Harry Dent? He predicted the market would hit 36000 - I think that was in 1999. Fast forward 10 years. His latest book predicts the market will crash and burn. It would be funny if it wasn't pathetic.

Now that sounds like the perfect get rich quick scheme there. The main problem of course is finding 640,000 subscribers..
