Angela Conrad's two young sons have both been diagnosed with autism, wrecking any chance she can have a normal family life. Every day Angela has a mountain to climb 24/7, just to get somewhere close to keeping her children safe and happy and keep her house from looking like a war zone. This is her story of how she has battled the effects of a life-changing condition and learned to handle the ignorance of some of her friends, relatives and neighbors. A moving, inspiring read for all those whose lives are touched by autism. "Your child has autism," said the doctor. Who would have thought those few words could be so painful? That little sentence is a kind of death sentence. It's a death sentence for the normal life they were supposed to live. It's a death sentence for your marriage, if you let it. It's a death sentence for your dreams and hopes. It's a death sentence for the life that could have been.

Praise for Profiting From the World's Economic Crisis

"Someone is going to make money in the next decade. Perhaps Bud will help you find your way."
--Jim Rogers, cofounder, Quantum Fund; author, A Gift to My Children

"Where everyone today has an opinion on everything, much of it gleaned from a blog, Bud Conrad's constant mantra is 'What does the data say?' And then he rolls up his sleeves and works almost around the clock for as many days as it takes to get to a defensible answer. In other words, there are those who talk, and those who do. Bud does. In "Profiting from the World's Economic Crisis," Bud tells you what the data shows about the risks and opportunities just ahead. You'll want to pay attention."
--David Galland, Managing Editor, The Casey Report

"Bud Conrad's book is a brutally honest journey into the future. Honest because Bud builds on facts, not popular opinion; brutal as heillustrates the logical consequences as global dynamics play out. You can't afford not to read this book."
--Axel Merk, President and Chief Investment Officer, Merk Mutual Funds; author, Sustainable Wealth

"This book could not be better timed, as the government and Wall Street do their best to convince the public that the financial storm has passed. Bud Conrad begs to differ and using his unique ability to take complex data and distill it into straightforward charts, he not only explains how the hurricane developed, but why it's far from over. He then goes on to show investors not just how to survive the storm's resurgence, but how to prosper."
--Steve Henningsen, Chief Financial Strategist, The Wealth Conservancy

"Right now you may be asking yourself 'What's going to happen to the economy, why is it happening, and what can I do to profit from it?' As far as I'm concerned, Bud has the correct answers to these questions. Among other things, this book will become 'the' reference book for data and charts that economists and investors will go to for years to come. I urge you to read this book--now--and act on its advice."
--DOUG CASEY, Chairman, Casey Research, bestselling author, Crisis Investing
