Synopsis

While many investors fear a rapid rise in inflation, Gary Shilling argues they should be really preparing for the opposite: an extended period of falling prices.  A top economist with a superb forecasting record, Shilling asserts that slow global growth; increased consumer spending; and efficiencies created by technology will lead to falling prices throughout the economy in the years ahead.  As a result, many investments will suffer, including real estate, commodities, and most stocks.  In The Deflation Beating Portfolio, Shilling says that investors should invest in Treasury bonds, utilities, consumer staples, and some dividend paying stocks.  And investors should avoid commodity, automotive, and consumer durable stocks; precious metals; and real estate.  The book will provide an overview of the U.S. economy since the 1960s juxtaposed against Shillings forecasts demonstrating that Shilling has been generally right about major economic trends since he began forecasting in the early 1980s.  Shilling then will lay out a convincing case why investors need to be prepared for deflation not inflation in the years ahead.

Goodreads review by David on April 03, 2015

Dr. Shilling has been calling for deflation to hit the US economy for some time, and we are now starting to see some signs of it. Published in 2011, he makes the case for at least a decade of slow growth and mild deflation, as our over-leveraged society unwinds its debts (at the consumer, corporate,......more

Goodreads review by Anthony on November 28, 2012

I like Gary Shilling but this book didn't cut it for me. If he spent a little less time reviewing all his past successful forecasts the book would be half the size. He has made some good calls but most of them were 20 years ago so it did leave me somewhat wary. I can't help but feel his current comm......more

Goodreads review by Tom on December 27, 2012

It's not bragging if you actually did it. He does spend a lot of time on his record and past calls but that's understandable as he is almost always the voice alone in the wilderness. And he has almost always been proven right. He has the courage to make calls and own the results. One of the most acc......more
