When Bubbles Burst by John Calverley

When Bubbles Burst by John Calverley

John Calverley's new book is about understanding what s going on, how policy impinges on it, what investors can do and what is likely to happen. This extremely topical and timely new book from the well known economist and Head of Research, Standard Chartered Bank is the first book to examine in depth the financial fallout of 2008 and explore the implications and solutions for individuals, companies and central banks. His previous book, Bubbles and How to Survive Them predicted the current financial situation. This essential readable, non-technical guide is essential reading for everyone and particularly for investment professionals everywhere. In this new book - an investor's survival kit - he: * Outlines the crises we now face and reviews how we got here. * Looks closely at the huge housing bubbles in UK and the US, as well as those in Australia, Spain, Japan and Hong Kong. * Explores the anatomy of bubbles and presents a checklist for identifying them. * Tells the story of how the housing bubble led to the currrent financial crisis and how far prices might fall, focussing on household debt as the value of household assets collapse. * Examines strategies for investors, who must try to avoid bubbles or, more dangerously, seek them out and ride them. * Reveals what will happen next. In his original book, Bubbles and How to Survive Them John Calverley warned vigorously of the danger from the housing bubble and warned that stock prices might take off again and reach vulnerable levels (as indeed occurred in 2006-7.)

Now based in Toronto, John P. Calverley is Head of Research, North America, Standard Chartered Bank. He was previously the Chief Economist & Strategist of American Express Bank. He is a well-known commentator and appears frequently on CNN, CNBC and other TV stations.
