I recently read a fairly old book entitled "The Alpha Strategy" and wanted to get some feedback from everyone. The book was very interesting and among its "defensive financial strategies" were holding gold & precious metals as well as hoarding consumer goods. You could sum up the book by saying its best to invest in real, tangible wealth vs. paper wealth.

There is a fairly good explanation of the strategies on the Alpha Strategy here: http://simplefinancialfreedom.com/the-alpha-strategy

Anybody read the book? Do you have any reactions or thoughts on the strategies in it?

I'm not familiar with the book, but you'll find that nearly everyone here has long been on-board with the ,"invest in real, tangible wealth vs. paper wealth", concept. In fact, considering the direction our currency must inevitably go, I'd say this is a no-brainer. :thumb:

I keep very little money in the bank. My wealth is in silver and commodies. Also, look at your skills as a form of wealth. skills in several ocupations/hobbies make you more valuable in a community. So, I feel education is a form of wealth.
