DAVID SKARICA is the founder and editor of Profit From Pessimism, which uses the contrarian investment techniques outlined in this book to buy value assets and

prosper from them overshooting to the downside. He is also the editor of Dollar Hedge Insider and the founder and editor of Addicted to Profits.

Skarica entered the financial markets at age 18 and became the youngest person on record to pass the Canadian Securities Course. He finished second in the Globe and Mail's stock picking contest in 2003, and that same year StockFocus.com ranked Addicted to Profits the fifth best-performing newsletter out of 300 competitors.

The author of six books, Skarica's Stock Market Panic! How to Prosper in the Coming Crash predicted the bear market in U.S. stocks from 2000 to 2002, and The Great Super Cycle: Profit From the Coming Inflation Tidal Wave and Dollar Devaluation predicted that years of huge debt, government spending, and money printing would lead to inflation and a bust in the bond market from 2021 to 2023. His work has appeared in Newsmax, the Bull and Bear Financial Report, Barron's, Investor's Digest of Canada, and Canadian MoneySaver.

Skarica lives in in a hilltop house 150 feet above sea level, where he watches the sunrise and set with his cat, Peanut, aka "The Big Sheriff."

The author lives & works in Eleuthera, Bahamas.
