Game Plan: How to Protect Yourself from the Coming Cyber-Economic Attack

by Kevin D. Freeman

Game Plan is the first "how to" investment handbook of its type. It will explain the emerging risks and provide a complete game plan of response for investors at all levels. Freeman will explain that there is no "one size fits all" solution as events are happening quickly and the challenges can morph suddenly. Just as a football team must plan for a variety of offensive strategies and attacks, investors must be prepared to strategically adjust. This book provides the game plan to respond and succeed.

Good information to be more prepared, just in case.

In 2012 Kevin D. Freeman published Secret Weapon: How Economic Terrorism Brought Down the U.S. Stock Market and Why It Can Happen Again . In that book, Freeman detailed how America's financial markets are vulnerable to manipulation by foreign powers by creating bubbles (like in the oil markets). Individual companies could also be targeted, individual sectors or the markets as a whole.

The first part of Game Plan is a brief review of the vulnerabilities he described in Secret Weapon . To be honest, if you have not read Secret Weapon , you can read Game Plan and get the general idea. He also includes updates, including letting his readers know that he has briefed the Pentagon on these vulnerabilities.

The rest of the book is devoted to telling the reader about the strengths and weaknesses of various kinds of investments, such as stocks, bonds, gold, etc. in a period of financial crisis. He also discusses how they tend to do in times of natural or man-made disaster.

The descriptions of each of these types of investments are amazingly clear. I am a licensed high school economics teacher and I have never ran across such clear yet detailed descriptions of these various investment vehicles that are aimed at the layman. Freeman is always sure to tell the reader that they should talk to their investment adviser before making any moves.

Here is a link to my review of Secret Weapon .

I think everyone should read this book and its predecessor (Secret Weapon). Although I don't think Christianity is the default spiritualism everyone has to adopt (something he addresses at the end of the book), regaining some spiritualism for America is probably a good idea. Other than that, his ideas for defending yourself (and America) from catastrophe are sound. I honestly cannot figure out why Washington ignores all of this. Freeman has talked to the Pentagon, given his reports and talked to high-level government officials and economists (he was one of those at one time). Anyway, as an economics teacher, Freeman offers some of the best descriptions of various investment vehicles I have ever seen. Solid book, especially when read in concert with "Secret Weapon."

Not as good as his other book.
