Title: This is an awful book...
Review: O'Higgnins's conclusions may or may not be correct (he says stocks are headed for a severe downturn; it's time to turn to bonds); but he bases that conclusion on an amateurish analysis that simply ignores valid counter-arguments instead of dealing with them.He then proposes that you time the market and jump in and out of stocks based on a timing indicator: The price of gold. He doesn't give you any reason why that indicator should be valid, he merely tells you that it would have been right in 29 of the last 30 years (or something like that). He could as well have proposed using the AFL/NFL Super Bowl Winner as his indicator.If you just want to try a "system", whether or not it makes any sense, this may be for you. If you want to understand what you're doing, look elsewhere.
