  Description

  Description: During your life you will make many important financial decisions. Their success will be significantly affected by the state of the economy and financial markets when you make them. Imagine if you had a guide to the future to help you anticipate periods of boom and bust and make decisions accordingly: when to invest and take risk, and when to sell or take measures to preserve your wealth. The Secret Wealth Advantage is that guide. To make better investment decisions at the right times, you need to understand the 18-year cycle. It is responsible for all of the periods of wild speculation and spectacular collapse that have been a feature of the modern economy for well over 200 years. At the heart of this cycle is the property market. Understand this and you will be able to forecast precisely what will happen next. Using a treasure trove of historical data and entertaining stories from the present and prior periods, The Secret Wealth Advantage reveals everything you need to know about the cycle: where we are within it, why it happens, why no one sees it and what you need to look out for. And, most importantly, The Secret Wealth Advantage provides you with a practical guide for what to do at each stage of the cycle. Put this into action and a world that appears complex and chaotic can be mastered. You will have an investment edge that seasoned professionals can only dream of.
