Day Before 2008 Market Crash: Things to Learn as an Investor
What if the warning signs of a financial disaster were right in front of us-yet almost everyone chose to ignore them?
This gripping, deeply researched book reveals the real story of how the 2008 crash unfolded, why the world failed to see it coming, and how ordinary investors can use those lessons to protect-and multiply-their wealth today.
Drawing from the inner workings of Wall Street, hedge fund strategies, economic psychology, and the mechanics of the housing bubble, Day Before 2008 Market Crash breaks down the entire crisis in a way that is clear, compelling, and impossible to forget. Moving chronologically through the years leading up to the collapse, Lalit Mohanty uncovers the hidden clues that smart money saw early-and retail investors overlooked.
Whether you're an investor, trader, entrepreneur, or simply someone who wants to understand how financial systems really work, this book gives you a practical and powerful blueprint for spotting risk, avoiding catastrophic losses, and taking advantage of market crashes to build life-changing wealth.
