–Robert Powell, Editor of CBS MarketWatch
"As one who has lived through some of the nightmare scenarios discussed by the author,
I believe "Steve's Rules" (Chapter 14) need to be placed in a prominent place so you can see them any time you think you are safe. They may be the new practical commandments for financial survival."
–Doug Stephan, host of the Good Day nationally syndicated radio show
