[Total Wealth] [From the Desk of Keith Fitz-Gerald] Before we dig into anything related to our money, I'd like to send a special "shout out" to the many veterans who are a part of the Total Wealth Family as we prepare to celebrate Memorial Day. Thank you for your service, for your courage, your compassion, and your sacrifice. Most of all, though, thank you for stepping forward when others step back. With deepest humility and respect, I wish you a Happy Memorial Day! --------------------------------------------------------------- UNSTOPPABLE TRENDS: --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- MEDIA --------------------------------------------------------------- [Markets React to $400B in Saudi Deals Watch the full video here.]( [Terrorists Attacks Can't Impact These Markets Watch the full video here.]( May 27, 2017 Dear Total Wealth Investor, When I started Total Wealth, I did so with the intention of finding and sharing the world's best investment ideas as well as the tips, tactics and people needed to bring them "home." Today I want to keep that promise. I'll be speaking at FreedomFest this July on stage together with two of the most successful, insightful and legendary investors of all time - Jim Rogers and Mark Mobius. To my knowledge, they've never appeared on stage together before, let alone with me in the mix. This ranks right up there with being invited to play with the Rolling Stones in my book. No scratch that... it's even better. We're going to be speaking about what "Asia and the Rise of State Capitalism" means for your money. Between the three of us, we've spent several lifetimes in global markets and I guarantee you that you're never going to hear what we have to say anywhere else. Asia, you see, isn't just about Asia anymore: ...Japanese billionaire investor Masayoshi Son is putting together the world's largest tech fund with $100 billion to invest, he will. ...China's just unveiled an unprecedented $5 trillion One Belt One Road policy and nearly 60 countries are already on board ...Russia just teamed up with China to develop new aircraft and together, they're coming after Boeing Not 1 in 100,000 investors will get this right. Those who do will laugh all the way to the bank and I want you to be one of 'em. Which is why I've also scheduled an exclusive Total Wealth-only presentation for attendees where I'm going to spill the beans on my latest thinking in a presentation called (bluntly) "Every dollar you'll make for the next ten years is on this list." Then, of course, we'll have time to chat. In closing, I know you get a lot of email and everybody's advertising one conference of another as being vital to your future. [FreedomFest](, though, actually is. It's one of the very few conferences I go out of my way to attend every year as I have for the past decade since it was created because I get to learn something, too. I think you'll be very surprised by the quality of the speakers you hear on a wide variety of topics and the discussions you'll get into with fellow attendees. Sometimes you'll agree and sometimes not... but that's what debate is all about. To my way of thinking, that's a good thing when it comes to our money because chaos, as I say too frequently, inevitably produces opportunity! Speaking of which, I've negotiated a special rate for every member of the Total Wealth Family who wants to attend. Sign up now and receive a limited $100 discount on the registration fee.

The truth is, there's a ton of money to be made on this extinction-level event - if you know what you're doing.

You guys ROCK! When I started Total Wealth I wanted to build a family of like minded investors, not the walled off cliques I saw on Wall Street and, you've made it happen. I am simply stunned by your continued responses to my question "[What does Total Wealth mean to you?](" Please keep 'em coming! "I read your special China's 'One Belt, One Road' report and would like to know, in addition to BABA what other China stocks do you recommend? I will turn 65 in October, retired a year and half ago, due to 2nd layoff in 3 years. It would be nice to grow my $340k portfolio by more than 4% a year (that I draw on for living expenses) so that I could take my wife on her 1st trip to Europe, and/or help pay for 3 grandchildren's college; 1st one starts college in 7 years. Thank you." -Steve F., Ocean Park, Washington Hello Steve. Thanks for writing in. Those are really terrific goals and (incidentally) very similar to mine. Wealth, to my way of thinking, doesn't do us any good if we cannot share all that it makes possible. Speaking of which, I'm going to be returning to China shortly in search of the next "wave" of opportunity the One Belt, One Road policy creates. So please stay tuned! In the meantime, remember this subtle distinction when it comes to the profit potential represented, "because of China" versus "in China." I'll explain why the former is always more profitable than the latter in upcoming columns! "I'm male, single, 35, no kids, currently disabled on a fixed income, and using my time to finally research investing while I heal. I have my BA from Pepperdine University. I was the poor kid who excelled academically and received a full tuition scholarship. Problem is, I feel like I was never educated on the things that actually matter, like finance etc. Having "awakened" to the real intentions behind my "indoctrination" education has left me in limbo. I refuse to be a hamster in the hamster wheel nor do I want to be a debt slave. I am seeking financial [security], on my own terms, which doesn't take much as it's just me and my dog and simple living, though I would also love to help my mother and grandmother out too. The elephant on the room with family and friends is that I was supposed to be the 'successful' superstar Pepperdine graduate, yet here I am with little to show. My resources are very limited, but my resolve is mighty and true. Any words of inspiration?" -Sincere Regards, Kristopher S. Thanks for taking the time to share Kristopher. Respectfully, I'll push back a bit. I think you're already "richer" than most people because you are aware of the world around you and, more importantly, have the desire to do something with that knowledge. At 35 you've got something most investors don't have working in your favor... time. My job is to teach you to harness that so it's a fabulous travelling companion rather than an enemy which is how most investors think about it... if they think about it at all. Speaking of which, here's something that's always resonated with me from famed Japanese swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi who said in his Book of Five Rings that "in time, all things work to your advantage when you pursue them with an open heart." "I'm a disabled 53 year old man that has busted my butt all my life and raised my kids as a single father. But through the years my luck has not been good. How can I get started with the $2,000 I have? Are penny stocks the way? I've been disabled for 8 years now and in so tired of not being able to do for my family. Is there a way to get started?" -Edward K. Hello Edward. I know that's tempting because the promise of big returns is alluring. Yet, I submit every investor in a similar situation is far better off concentrating on the certainty of returns first. That way you build up capital which can continually be reinvested as it grows instead of having to place your bets "Vegas-style" and risk irrecoverable losses. Consider a fund like the Vanguard Wellington (VWELX) as a good place to start. It's been in business a long time, has superior management, and a solid track record of very healthy returns that put most investments to shame. And, [check out this article on the 50-40-10]( to learn more about why I'm suggesting you start out this way.
