Gold has long been considered safe, secure, and totally reliable — just like the housing market and the dotcom industry were until they imploded. Gold is now forming a bubble and this book presents a case for its inevitable burst. It offers an account of how and why gold has become so popular and so dangerously overvalued, and provides evidence for a collapse while outlining how you can benefit from what others don’t know. Using short-selling strategies and complex option strategies, the author explains the opportunities to profit from gold’s collapse. With charts and images, the book brings the case for a gold bubble to life.

First, there are the facts: Americans consume nearly 20 million barrels of oil a day. Oil is critical to our economic well-being. The price of gasoline is climbing nearly twice the rate of inflation. Why? Where does the money go? What make the prices skyrocket and what are the solutions? These issues are examined and discussed, as is the way the system is gamed. The oil industry depends on consumers’ lack of understanding, or the disinformation broadcast to lull them into acceptance of one of the great ripoffs of all time.
