The Sale a Lifetime

How the Great Bubble Burst of 2017-2019 Can Make You Rich

By: Harry S. Dent

Narrated by: Sean Pratt

After the Roaring '20s came the Great Depression. After the Roaring 2000s came the Great Recession.

We're now entering the winter season of the 80-year four season economic cycle. It's during this season that we'll clear the decks with a devastating crash and debilitating deflation. The economy and markets will shed the excesses created during the preceding fall bubble boom season and prepare the soil for new blossoming in innovation and a spring boom.

After the blustering bull market of 2009-2015, we are now preparing for a shakeout more painful than anything we've seen before. We have eight years of unprecedented government stimulus and money creation to thank for stretching this bubble beyond imagination and making the burst more painful than anything we've ever experienced.

There's no better guide to financial cycles than Harry S. Dent Jr., the best-selling author of The Demographic Cliff and many other books, and the editor of the Boom & Bust newsletter. For more than 30 years he has earned a reputation for eerily accurate predictions about the world economy and the financial markets.

Now Dent has an urgent new warning about the next crisis. The consequences will be devastating - but there's a bright side that he's calling "the sale of a lifetime". For anyone who heeds the signs and follows Dent's advice, the looming correction is a once-in-a-century opportunity to gather immense wealth.

In this pressing audiobook, you'll learn not only why a collapse is imminent, but how to identify bubbles and tune in to the cycles driving that drive booms and busts.

Practical, accessible, and illuminating, The Sale of a Lifetime will protect you from the tough challenges ahead and help you cash in on the unique opportunities of the next few years. At stake is nothing less than your entire financial future.

Interesting concept

Dent's approach is fascinating and I tend to agree with some of his concepts. He loses credibility of his bigger ideas, in my opinion, by making such specific predictions though (cuz investment will fall between 39-64%). It makes me suspect when predictions are made with such specific numbers. But his concept of cycles, demographics, and the world being in an asset bubble seem right on.

Agree with the sentiment, but sunspots...Really?

I think some of these cycles listed make a lot of sense, and the case about Japan is living proof that predictable cycles exist. What I don't agree with though is the sun cycle correlation. I think the author is reaching with that one. It brings up the famous quote "causation or correlation". I see lots of talk on correlation but if the author can't explain causation (cough. Sunspots) then he is wasting my time.

Fascinating

Great book, Dent gives bold predictions that are backed up by real data and historical precedents.
Has a tone of chicken little to it, but if you look at his thesis objectively it makes a lot of sense

A lot to think about

I don't claim to know a lot about any of this stuff, but the material was presented reasonably and in such a way that I can build off of what I learned from the book with my own research as well as revisit the material for new insight.
