Book excerpt: Two veteran Wall Street insiders, Matthew Piepenburg and Thomas Lott, warn, inform and prepare Main Street investors for dramatic market drawdowns ahead. Despite the most artificial (and extended) bull melt-up in the history of capital markets, U.S. and global markets are poised to enter an equally historic and extended meltdown, dramatically impacting the portfolios, retirements and longer-term plans for the vast majority of uninformed investors. Rigged to Fail makes these risks and opportunities objectively clear and offers blunt insights and solutions to winning within an otherwise rigged-to-fail market, now driven almost entirely by an increasingly cornered, and desperate, Federal Reserve. Having spent over fifty combined years inside the blue-chip banks, hedge funds and family offices which serve the wealthiest clients, Matt and Tom have dedicated themselves to making hitherto exclusive investment insights rightfully available to all investors, regardless of market experience or income levels. Rigged to Fail plainly addresses why and how markets have become so profoundly distorted and risk-saturated by setting forth an historically-confirmed template of reckless and debt-driven policies and the recessions which always follow. Without resorting to bull or bear bias, Rigged to Fail does not dwell on fear or hope selling, but simply provides empirical evidence of the dangers facing current markets, how they got to this critical tipping point while simultaneously laying out the generational risks and opportunities which lie ahead. Matt and Tom offer clear, simple and specific portfolio and investment solutions to manage markets, and hence portfolios, during all phases of a debt-driven cycle, from the "recovery" and subsequent melt-up phase to the meltdown phase that consistently follows. Their insider perspective and heavy reliance upon blunt market data (rather than opinion) provides a plain-speak explanation of the three biggest mistakes made by uniformed investors while offering a common sense tutorial as to the oldest, simplest and yet most ignored approaches to making real money in otherwise dangerously rigged-to-fail markets. Their chapters offer direct solutions to managing risk in a market whose rise and fall is now entirely driven by central bank policies and "experiments" rather than traditional market fundamentals. In short, unprecedented risk, as well as opportunity lies ahead, and the authors promise to guide readers through these historical markets with confidence, calm and most importantly, success. Now is not the time to ignore such extraordinary, yet mostly media-hidden risks, nor to miss out on the opportunities to ensure generational wealth. As career Wall Street insiders, Matt and Tom know all too well how this market casino is stacked against the majority of uninformed investors and are committed to protecting every reader who lands upon these pages. So, scroll up and click "buy now," as the clock is indeed ticking on the most hated bull run of modern capital markets.
