内容简介 Financial guru Stephen Leeb predicts an inflationary 'perfect storm' that will lay waste to millions of portfolios if investors don't prepare ahead of time. In this perilous period, it will be essential to pay attention to the price of oil, because as prices fluctuate, so, too, will the economy. As Foreign Affairs recently pointed out, to support the world's population, oil production must rise in the next 20 years from 75 million barrels a day to 125 million - a 66 per cent increase! And yet all over the world - from the North Sea to Mexico to Venezuela - come reports of production capacity maxing out. Result: pressure to raise output will mean higher production costs, which will mean vastly more expensive oil. But there is a way to diversify away from disaster: by investing in energy producers and dedicating a significant part of one's portfolio to real assets that keep their value relative to inflation.
Here, Stephen Leeb helps readers pick the 'energy-producer star performers', reveals the 'double payoff' to investing in metals like platinum and silver, explains why the stocks of 'mega-insurers' are a safe bet, and shows how investing in real estate does not have to mean actually owning it.
媒体推荐 From Booklist Stephen Leeb is president of Leeb Capital Management and editor of
The Complete Investor, a monthly financial newsletter. An independent thinker, he has collaborated with his wife, Donna Leeb, on four previous books that often defied the conventional wisdom of Wall Street. Here they forecast an energy crisis caused by U.S. dependence on foreign oil and discuss possible effects of such a crisis on the economy and the stock market. When the world's demand for oil overtakes its supply, oil prices will inevitably soar, and this, say the authors, does not bode well for typical indexed stock funds. Watching the "Oil Index," however, offers help in deciding whether to stay in the market, and natural gas stocks can provide balance to every investor's core holdings. Research on alternatives to fossil fuels shows some promise, the Leebs say, but has lagged behind the demand for new technology. They also discuss straight energy plays, gold, alternative energy stocks, and deflation hedges, all part of a diverse strategy to stay ahead of the game during the volatile years ahead.

Leeb, author of several books including Getting In on the Ground Floor (also co-written with wife Donna), believes the country must become less dependent on oil imports over the long term. Meanwhile, though, Leeb advises individuals to choose investments based on the longstanding relationship between oil prices and the stock market. He has a number of solid observations based on an examination of the past 30 years of stock performance and oil prices: "Since 1973, the economy and stock market have danced to oil's tune. Sharp rises in oil prices have led to recession/stagflation and plummeting stocks, while declining prices or prices that are just mildly uptrended have led to good times." Leeb provides a great deal of historic context and analyzes industries, selected companies, and other investment choices such as bonds and Treasury notes. Leeb's thesis is well researched, and the book offers a solid, concise overview of the economy and stock trends. Still, given the uncertainty of the stock market-and the lack of job security-readers should consider Leeb's strategies carefully before overhauling their portfolios.
