The collapse of former financial giant Bear Stearns (not to mention the other failing financial institutions that followed Bear Stearns into oblivion) and the ongoing credit crisis has investors understandably worried. Addressing these investors, Waggoner (the investment columnist and personal finance reporter for USA Today) presents a fairly mainstream explanation of the causes of the crisis and dispenses advice on how to weather it, addressing strategies to protect oneself against deflation and inflation as well as how to recognize signs of boom and bust on Wall Street.
