He'll explain why America's mortgage mess is a symptom of potentially far more devastating trouble.

And, the stimulus program by President Obama is not enough.

Learn from Stephen Leeb through his book called "Game Over" about how to take a more global approach to your financial portfolio. He argues that the American economy will take years to recover from inflation, the weakening dollar, and most importantly, runaway national debt. You'll also learn about the shortages to come in oil and water. Stephen recommends that investors create inflation-proof portfolios.

Your money in a checking and savings account will not earn enough interest, but actually decline in value due to inflation. Also, the best investments are outside the U.S., particularly in China and India.
