BALTIMORE, USA (Commodity Online): For the first time in 200 years, American consumers are no longer the driving force behind the world's economy. In his book, Fiscal Hangover, Keith Fitz-Gerald--one of the world's leading experts on global investing--picks apart every important change and identifies unprecedented opportunities.

Investors will discover how the U.S. role in the world economy is shrinking at unheard-of rates; how and why government intervention may well prevent the U.S. markets from normalizing in years to come; why Asia is already well on its way to becoming the next great financial center; and why China's Yuan is quietly replacing the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. (Wiley, Nov. 2009, ISBN 13 978-0-470-28914-3)

Most importantly, investors will learn what to do right now to grab their share of the pie" says Keith Fitz-Gerald, Chief Investment Strategist for MoneyMap Press and Money Morning.

In "Fiscal Hangover--Protect Your Money and Profit in the New Global Economy," author Keith Fitz-Gerald answers the following critical questions:

(1) Why are some nations set to reach new levels of prosperity and others doomed to mediocrity? Not all bailouts are the same. Understand which countries will profit and which will be hobbled for years to come.

(2) Why will Asia become the world's new financial center? Seemingly inconsequential changes on formerly primitive financial exchanges are enabling a ferocious new brand of capitalism that will cause even seasoned investors to reassess their game plan, and open up fabulous new opportunities to individual investors.

(3) Why is it inevitable that U.S. companies will list in China? New international company listings on Chinese stock markets will serve as catalysts for a new Golden Age of Wealth.

(4) Is the U.S. doomed? Not necessarily. Learn why the inevitable changes already under way will actually make this country stronger and individual investors richer despite Washington's policies and efforts to screw things up.

(5) When is the right time to own commodities? Fitz-Gerald points out why basic materials should be a permanent part of every investor's retirement plan, and suggests simple ways to own gold as it heads to new highs.

(6) How do investors reduce risk right now? Wall Street's models are badly broken and may never work again in our lifetimes. Diversification is no longer enough to appropriately manage risk. Fitz-Gerald shares how to capture higher potential returns and avoid catastrophic losses for the rest of your life.

(7) What are the stocks to buy now? Fitz-Gerald offers a few of his favorite choices any investor can use to achieve peace of mind and a more stable portfolio - beginning tonight.
