Real estate is sold as a much safer investment than the constantly fluctuating stock market. Share price volatility is compared unfavorably with the steadier and impressive gains made from real estate which is, we are told, 'as safe as houses'. This book details the cyclical nature of real estate.

Really excellent book. Read if you want to understand what total BS economists come out with. Phil Anderson should have a Nobel prize for this work.

The depth of research this author has done on these cycles is truly inspiring. To 'see' and collate the presented information, with such clarity into a readable and logical step by step process is humbling.

I am heavily involved in Market cycles being a WD Gann follower (for many years now) and would highly recommend this book to any similar likeminded persons.
I am also very "careful" what information I read/spend my hard earned cash on regarding these topics. There are many 'wannabees' in this market plus many that 'wanna help you remove any of your cash that they feel is theirs' with market information that has not been researched correctly with what that author originally spoke/wrote on. Nor do I give financial advice or recommendations on this topic (for the above reasons) but this book is the exception.

Mr PJ Anderson has done his background work. He most assuredly is not in the above wannabee class. His data is continually backed up with facts that can be personally verified and lays out our whole Current financial setup Worldwide and "why is it so?".
If you ever had any doubts about our various countries markets being inter related, read this Book.

P.S. No I am not an employee nor financially tied to Mr Anderson or his company in any way other than a fellow WD Gann supporter.
