Goodreads asked Christopher Manske:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Christopher Manske The Prepared Investor was born from my military experience where threatening situations typically caused unprepared people to panic, react instinctively instead of logically, and ultimately make poor decisions. Readers will recognize the natural pattern that occurs in the stock market as investors make irrational choices that are part of a basic instinctual response to major crisis. Overall, I was inspired to write this book because my team and I kept getting similar questions from clients all over the United States. “If there’s a terrorist attack, how will my portfolio do?” “What about my financial independence if the President gets us involved in a war?” “I know peace won’t last forever… something bad is going to happen. You’re my investment advisor. Are we ready for that?”
