How will the world as we know it end Will it be with a whimper as the last human beings succumb to a global pandemic Or will it be with a bang as an errant asteroid slams into the planet or a terrorist detonates a nuclear bomb in a major city. Clean fresh water becomes scarce; or it is oil that becomes scarce. A global financial panic erupts that regulators cannot contain. These are fearsome scenarios, yet they all contain the seeds of profit for investors who stay calm and think rather than panic and run.
The investor who knows how to anticipate historically-significant or earth-shattering events—how to measure the risks and think about the consequences—and who is prepared to act when others are frozen with fear will have a substantial advantage in reaping profits. By closely analyzing potential global threats and the opportunities they present, The Wall Street Journal Guide to Investing in the Apocalypse will show investors how to find a silver lining in almost any cataclysm—and these lessons and disciplines could pay huge dividends in more mundane circumstances. The reader will emerge with the perfect balance of information for investment success: the ability to see opportunity where others see peril.
