      INTRODUCTION

      So where do you start? You have expressed an interest and curiosity as you have made it to this page. Here is what you can expect when you finish this book.

      You will possess the knowledge and the insight to conduct timely and successful fire sale shopping in the stock market. Fire sale shopping is an opportunity to increase your bank account in a short period of time with little or no risk. If you are successful with the buy disaster concept presented in this book you may become your own boss. You may become financially independent.

      This book will show you when to buy stocks in good companies that have dropped drastically in share price during a steep stock market decline. This is when you buy! It will be the fastest return on an investment that you will ever see. It will help you pay off your bills and your credit cards. It will give you extra money for yourself. Eventually, it will help you pay down your mortgage or pay it off completely.

      The theme of this book describes the environment of a stock market disaster to you. The purpose of the book is to allow you to enter this atmosphere and buy stocks close to their lowest prices in years.

      This easily understood read will prove that the Dead Cat Bounce is absolutely the best time and the safest time to profit in the market. Invest anywhere from $20,000.00 to $50,000.00 or more with very little risk.

      There is no uncertainty and there is no guess work. You only have to do your shopping once every four or five years. You only need to have cash available and to be focused when the time is right.

      You will be a winner!

      Now to whet your appetite and get the juices flowing, let us have some fun in the next ten pages with a Dead Cat Bounce scenario.

      THE DEAD CAT BOUNCE SCENARIO

      In the fall of 2007 the Dow Jones Industrial Average index (DJIA) was trading at 14000. The market began to drop in 2008. In October, 2008, the stock market took some steep declines. As of March, 2009, the DJIA index had dropped over fifty percent to 6500. This was the low point for the DJIA index. In the nine months from October, 2008 to June, 2009, a multitude of corporate stocks would drop to the lowest share prices seen in the last twelve years.

      Disaster day is here. You need to be in your strategy room more frequently. Signs are ominous. You have been watching your favorite stocks and you are also looking for a new tide of disaster candidates. The bad economy has sent share prices into the cellar. Stocks are the last thing anyone wants to buy.

      The media has been moaning about the bad condition of the nation’s economy every day for the last year. This is now the third quarter in a row of negative corporate earnings (three months in a quarter of a year). No one is making any money except for a few well heeled manufacturers. Companies are showing a loss on the bottom line of their income statements. The same situation is the case for the nation’s gross domestic production (GDP).
