A thoroughly revised and expanded update to the book that
critics are calling the first true investing book for the "new
normal"

You entrusted your financial security to the
"experts," and now you're wondering what
it'll take to recover from the economic crisis and get back
on your feet. In this updated and expanded edition of his
critically-acclaimed guide to staying rich in good times and bad,
financial planner and investment strategist Jason Vanclef delivers
more straight answers and solid solutions--and he takes a
well-earned poke or two at Wall Street in the process. According to
Vanclef, True Asset Class Diversification is the best way to build
the solid financial foundation you need for a secure future. And he
puts his money where his mouth is with a comprehensive,
easy-to-understand and use plan for maximizing your
investments--not just cutting your losses.

* Learn the unvarnished truth about "tried and true" Wall Street
practices and why stocks and bonds are not the answer--and
which investment vehicles are

* Find out how to diversify into oil/gas, equipment, ,notes, real
estate, bullion and rare coins the way the super-rich
do--information that Wall Street doesn't want you to
have

* Get priceless advice on whether or not to pay off your home or
pay cash for a car and how to build your wealth more
efficiently

* Discover the pitfalls of insurance and Variable/Fixed/Index
Fixed annuities that agents will never tell you about

* Get the lowdown on advanced income tax reduction
strategies, discounted Roth IRA conversions, and asset protection
techniques that will help protect your hard earned wealth.

Jason Vanclef (Santa Monica, CA) is a Financial Planner and strategist whose Asset Class Diversification model, taught in this book, is responsible for 97% of his clients--around 750 men and women--not only to weather the economic storm between October 2007 and March of 2009, but to make money. Vanclef specializes in the use of alternative investments such as oil/gas, commercial real estate, equipment leases, rare coins and so forth. He teaches the use of these investments alongside traditional ideas to build worst case scenario portfolio's for his clients as well as follow a more common sense viewpoint to the economy and what lies ahead. Education is the core of his diversification model and he spends the majority of his time teaching current clients about the various investment ideas and how they relate to each other. Investment ideas the rich use often yet most people are unaware of. The Wealth Code: How the Rich Stay Rich in Good Times and Bad is a culmination of the years spent educating his clients through stories to simplify very complex investment strategies and concepts that have allowed the informed rich to stay rich in these tumultuous times.
