Additional Praise for
Fiscal Hangover
“As a historical account of what went so badly wrong, Fiscal Hangover
is an excellent read. Keith Fitz-Gerald, however, goes a lot further
and lays out a road map showing you how to profit from the greatest
industrialization program the world has ever seen. China is boom-
ing and is no longer content simply being the factory to the world.
Keith Fitz-Gerald makes it possible for even the smallest retail inves-
tor to take advantage of this secular, once-in-a-lifetime growth story.
If you’re serious about taking charge of your own financial destiny,
you need to read this book.”
—Kishore K. Sakhrani, Director, ICS Trust (Asia) Ltd.
“The wheels are in motion. There is no turning back. In his book
Fiscal Hangover, Keith Fitz-Gerald not only makes the case for the
coming financial catastrophe that we are all facing in the West, but
also provides the solutions that we can implement today to deflect
the inevitable. This is a must read if you are serious about your
money . . . and more serious about keeping it!”
—Karim Rahemtulla, Investment Director,
Mt. Vernon Research
“Fiscal Hangover is easy to read and even easier to understand. Any
investor serious about not only recovering his money but growing
it in the years ahead will find Fiscal Hangover worth reading. A must
read, actually.”
—J ohn Casti, Senior Research Scholar, IIASA;
Cofounder, The Kenos Circle, Vienna
“Keith Fitz-Gerald is my go-to guy when it comes to investing in
Asia. Keith lays out the future in terms you can understand and,
more importantly, use to profit. You would be well served to read
Keith’s new book.”

“This is a terrific book. Keith combines the skills of persuasive big
picture analyst, finger firmly on the pulse of today’s global mega-
trends, with the technical discipline of an in-the-trenches trader
with over two decades of experience making money in the financial
markets. ‘Those who can, do teach,’ after all.”

Executive Director, London Junto;
Editor, Global Stock Investor

than ever for American investors to invest in high-growth econo-

Author, China Fireworks
“In my 30 years of monitoring the financial newsletter industry,
there is no advisor I would recommend more strongly for his integ-
rity, track record, research skills, and investment insights than Keith
Fitz-Gerald. Anyone looking to create a portfolio designed to meet
the challenges of the future, prepare against risk, and be positioned
to benefit from the opportunities offered in emerging markets will
find no better guide for success.”
—Steven Halpern, TheStockAdvisors.com
“A fascinating book that will help investors see the world through the
lens of the future. A must read for those who want to profit from
the next era of wealth creation.”

Instead of loading up with celebrity comments, we thought you’ d
enjoy hearing from a few of Keith ’ s long - time readers— people just
like you. So, here you go.
“ I ’ ve been reading Keith Fitz- Gerald ’s sage and clever writings for
years. It’ s rare to find someone who presents complex, global mar-
ket concepts with such approachability and wit, and his insights
are always well - considered, well- informed, and a pleasure to read.
I continue to follow his lead, as he’ s made me a more thoughtful,
profitable investor. He’ s undoubtedly well on his way to becoming
one of the luminaries in the industry. ”
— Matthew Coble
“ The combination of talent and discipline makes a hero. Keith is
a hero in his profession and in life. He applies these virtues dili-
gently and continuously. The result? An exceptional human being
and brilliant work! Outstanding investment analysis; track record of
profitable picks; amazingly accurate economic prediction; and some-
times jokes about the market . . . . Why do I continue to subscribe? I
need to have the confidence of investment, knowing I pick the right
ones. I love the lively inspiration that Keith brings to life: the drive
to excel in everything you are into. ”
— Hairong Karen Gui
“ Keith is like a light in the darkness of the current investing world
morass. He is the Rogue Warrior™ of investment professionals,
blazing his own trail, and defying conventional wisdom. Why do
I continue to subscribe? Well, what better testament to Keith than
the fact that as my friends got hammered when the markets fell, my
portfolio didn’ t fall very far, and on top of that, it has already re-
turned to pre- fall levels and beyond as it continues to grow! I want
someone I can trust and Keith is the man. He’ s honest and not afraid
to tell it like it is. You can ’ t ask for more than that. ”
— Doug O ’ Connor
