Product Description
Stephen Leeb shows how hard times can be a boon for smart investors. As the world faces an energy crisis of unprecedented scope, renowed economist Stephen Leeb shows how surging oil prices will contribute to an economic collapse. With meticulous research and analysis, Leeb shows that due to strong competition from India and China, prices could soon double, a cost for which most countries and investors are ill-prepared. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Leeb not only shows how this crisis will affect consumers, but how savvy investing can turn these dire times into financial gain.

 Review August 17, 2008
This book predicted the housing collapse, the credit crunch and the problems we are having with gas and gas guzzlers
Good August 8, 2008
I thought this book had some really good ideas on how to evaluate the level of economic stress from ongoing oil shortages, and offered some good thoughts on how take advantage of oil depletion. I not sure that all the ideas have worked out, but I think that the author has another book out and I would like to read it.
A MUST READ FOR THE 21st CENTURY August 3, 2008
TWO WORDS: MUST READ! An intelligent and well-laid-out discussion of the global energy crisis and the ineptitude, inaction, and complete denial of the US government and citizens concerning same. Dr. Leeb correctly predicted the 2008 oil crisis very early in this decade (when oil prices were still hovering at $35/bbl and all market and governmental pundits predicted more of the same ("The Oil Factor"). In this book, he astutely portrays the current energy crisis, its history, and possible civilization-changing ramifications IF immediate and costly actions are not quickly taken. Understanding the denial and "follow-the-group" mentality of human nature, Dr. Leeb concludes this expert treatise by wisely laying out a suitable investment strategy to help one survive and prosper while others struggle with their heads still firmly imbedded in the ground. Impressive work and excellent read!
Great read... July 31, 2008
Loved this book when it came out. Very few at the time could even imagine $100/barrel oil, now the next step is $200.
There are some great investment tips towards the end and also gives you a pretty intense idea of what would happen if oil hits new records.
A good one to at least check out. Also, good book format and interior makes it an easy read. Most of these oil books are boring, but this seems to keep the readers attention.
Hope this review helps.
Great advice when published July 16, 2008
I read this book when it came out in hardback a few years back. It was great advice then, but I am not sure if I would recommend it now. It may be too late to take advantage of the advice, most of which has already come true.
