Blood in the Streets: Investment Profits in a World Gone Mad

"The time to buy is when blood is running in the streets," said Nathan Rothschild, who, in 1815, amassed one of the largest trading fortunes ever recorded. Based on Rothschild's theories, James Dale Davidson and Lord Rees-Mogg have created a roadmap to understanding the relationship between politics, the mechanics of the investment markets and the way people respond in a crisis. They uncover hidden meaning behind current affairs and suggest ways of capitalizing on events such as the coming Latin-American default on US loans and a possible world depression caused by an earthquake in Japan. Their financial newsletter, "Strategic Investment", based on this principle, had a speculative portfolio from 1984 to 1986 which averaged an annual growth of 252%. James Dale Davidson is the author "The Squeeze". Lord Rees-Mogg was formerly editor of "The Times" and Vice Chairman of the BBC. He is now Chairman of the Arts Council of Great Britain.
