Never is that more true than during market pullbacks and recessions, whether the Great Recession of 2008; the brief, vertiginous COVID crash in 2020; or any number of recent smaller, yet still wrenching, periods of economic turbulence. We see those flashing red numbers and all semblance of “planning” or “risk tolerance” suddenly goes out the window.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Nations has spent his career studying market volatility. His firm, Nations Indexes, is the world’s leading independent developer of volatility and option-enhanced indexes. In <em>The Anxious Investor<\/em>, he teaches readers how to understand the markets, master their own fear, and make the most of their money.<\/p>\n<p>In the first half of the book, Nations offers a quick, compelling rundown of the worst financial crashes in American history, focusing on their causes, the recovery, and the lessons each holds for today’s investors. In the book’s second section, Nations offers a roadmap that any investor can follow, with practical, easy-to-understand advice to help guide readers through the 3 different types of market conditions: normal, crash\/bear market, and recovery.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=The+Anxious+Investor+Scott+Nations\" class=\"sn-btn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"margin-top:16px;\"><br \/>\n Buy The Anxious Investor Now<br \/>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top:60px; font-size:1.4rem; font-weight:800; color:#1a1a1a;\">Reviews of The Anxious Investor<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sn-reviews\">\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“Nations’s advice is grounded and practical, and the wealth of research backing it will leave readers feeling like they’re in good hands.

But taken together, they offer a unique financial history of the American century. Nations examines these precipitous dips, revealing how each played a role in America’s political and cultural fabric, one building upon the next to create the nation we know today.<\/p>\n<p>Nations clearly and compellingly illustrates the connections between these financial collapses and examines the solid, clear-cut lessons they offer for preventing the next one.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=A+History+of+the+United+States+in+Five+Crashes+Scott+Nations\" class=\"sn-btn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"margin-top:16px;\"><br \/>\n Buy A History of the United States in Five Crashes Now<br \/>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-book__cover\">\n <br \/>\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scottnations.com\/img\/five-crashes-cover.jpg\"\n alt=\"A History of the United States in Five Crashes book cover\"\n onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" \/><br \/>\n <span style=\"display:block; color:#999; font-size:0.9rem;\">Five Crashes<br \/>Book Cover<\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top:60px; font-size:1.4rem; font-weight:800; color:#1a1a1a;\">Reviews of A History of the United States in Five Crashes<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sn-reviews\">\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“Timely. … An eye-opening examination of the many ways money can be made \u2014 and disappear.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">Kirkus Reviews<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“Fascinating. … Uniquely helpful.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">Publishers Weekly<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“Nations insightfully relays the parallel experiences of stock market meltdowns, the events that led up to them, and their resulting economic and social ramifications.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">Booklist<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“Absorbing. …Nations’s stylish writing gives these stories of greed and fear a cliffhanger momentum.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">Financial Advisor Magazine<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“Crisp profiles… all in a lean, drive-ahead writing style that is a pleasure to read.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">The Wall Street Journal<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“An incredibly rich mine of market history… an indispensable resource.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">Financial Advisor Magazine \u2014 Books of the Year<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“One of the 25 best stock market audiobooks of all time.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">Book Authority<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-cta-banner\">\n<h2>Ready to master the mental game of investing?<\/h2>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=The+Anxious+Investor+Scott+Nations\" class=\"sn-btn sn-btn--white\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n Buy The Anxious Investor Now<br \/>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div id=\"contact\">\n<div class=\"sn-contact\">\n<div class=\"sn-label\" style=\"text-align:center;\">Contact<\/div>\n<h2>Get In Touch<\/h2>\n<p>Have a question or want to connect with Scott?

Never is that more true than during market pullbacks and recessions, whether the Great Recession of 2008; the brief, vertiginous COVID crash in 2020; or any number of recent smaller, yet still wrenching, periods of economic turbulence. We see those flashing red numbers and all semblance of “planning” or “risk tolerance” suddenly goes out the window.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Nations has spent his career studying market volatility.

But taken together, they offer a unique financial history of the American century. Nations examines these precipitous dips, revealing how each played a role in America’s political and cultural fabric, one building upon the next to create the nation we know today.<\/p>\n<p>Nations clearly and compellingly illustrates the connections between these financial collapses and examines the solid, clear-cut lessons they offer for preventing the next one.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=A+History+of+the+United+States+in+Five+Crashes+Scott+Nations\" class=\"sn-btn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"margin-top:16px;\"><br \/>\n Buy A History of the United States in Five Crashes Now<br \/>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-book__cover\">\n <br \/>\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scottnations.com\/img\/five-crashes-cover.jpg\"\n alt=\"A History of the United States in Five Crashes book cover\"\n onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" \/><br \/>\n <span style=\"display:block; color:#999; font-size:0.9rem;\">Five Crashes<br \/>Book Cover<\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top:60px; font-size:1.4rem; font-weight:800; color:#1a1a1a;\">Reviews of A History of the United States in Five Crashes<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sn-reviews\">\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“Timely. … An eye-opening examination of the many ways money can be made \u2014 and disappear.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">Kirkus Reviews<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“Fascinating. … Uniquely helpful.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">Publishers Weekly<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“Nations insightfully relays the parallel experiences of stock market meltdowns, the events that led up to them, and their resulting economic and social ramifications.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">Booklist<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“Absorbing. …Nations’s stylish writing gives these stories of greed and fear a cliffhanger momentum.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">Financial Advisor Magazine<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“Crisp profiles… all in a lean, drive-ahead writing style that is a pleasure to read.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">The Wall Street Journal<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“An incredibly rich mine of market history… an indispensable resource.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">Financial Advisor Magazine \u2014 Books of the Year<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sn-review\">\n<p class=\"sn-review__quote\">“One of the 25 best stock market audiobooks of all time.”<\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-review__source\">Book Authority<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"sn-cta-banner\">\n<h2>Ready to master the mental game of investing?<\/h2>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=The+Anxious+Investor+Scott+Nations\" class=\"sn-btn sn-btn--white\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n Buy The Anxious Investor Now<br \/>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div id=\"contact\">\n<div class=\"sn-contact\">\n<div class=\"sn-label\" style=\"text-align:center;\">Contact<\/div>\n<h2>Get In Touch<\/h2>\n<p>Have a question or want to connect with Scott?
