What’s going to happen next in global markets?

If you ask Keith Fitz-Gerald, he’ll tell you “a lot, but not what most investors will expect.”

That’s because developed economies like the US, Europe and Japan are likely to have fiscal hangovers that will haunt them for years to come.

Meanwhile, the center of power is shifting to emerging economies led by China and India that will undergo a “golden era of expansion” that will dwarf anything the world’s seen to date. He believes that if investors do not take this into consideration will get left far behind.

When Keith speaks, savvy investors listen. He is one of the few to correctly call the dot.bomb collapse in 2000, the cyclical recovery in 2003 and the credit crisis in 2007 – a full year in advance. He’s got one of the best documented (and most accurate) predictive records in the business.

Keith is the Chief Investment Strategist for Money Map Press and Money Morning, is read by more than 500,000 subscribers each day in 30 countries. It’s free just in case you’re wondering. He also writes the following paid publications: The New China Trader, The Money Map Report, The Geiger Index and The Time Trader Pro – each of which is also read by customers around the world.

A former professional trade advisor, Keith has provided analysis, trading direction, and performance measurement to institutions and qualified individuals over a 20+ year career. He is regarded as one of the world’s leading experts on global investing and is a popular, highly sought after speaker at financial conferences around the world – especially when it comes to Asia.

Keith’s new book, Fiscal Hangover, is being well received and hit the #1 slot on Amazon.com’s investing & finance list shortly after it debuted in November, 2009. A frequent traveler who lives part-time each year in Asia, he believes in boots on the ground when it comes to identifying opportunities that will profit.

Keith is also a founding Fellow of the Kenos Circle, a Vienna, Austria-based think tank whose members work with institutional, corporate, and government clients worldwide to predict future economic and financial events.

When not writing or travelling the world in search of investment opportunities others don’t see or yet recognize, Keith is a competitive triathlete and martial artist. He enjoys all manner of outdoor activities with his wife and two boys. He and his family split their time between the United States and Japan.

Keith has appeared on Fox, Reuters, and CBS Marketwatch and numerous radio programs. In addition, his comments have been featured in such diverse publications as Barron’s, Minyanville, AOLFinance, and Bloomberg.
