Wealth: A Skill or A Choice? (The Answer Will Shock You)

I’ve been in global markets for 37 years now as an analyst, trader and consultant and if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that personal success – meaning big profits – comes from something a lot of investors fail to grasp.

The single most important thing you can do as an investor is to realize that wealth is a choice… but getting there is a skill.

Let me repeat that.

Wealth is a choice but getting there is a skill.

You have to work at it.

Up in Smoke?

Chances are you’ve heard of China’s fabled “ghost cities.”

That’s a derogatory term bandied about in the Western press a decade ago by badly misinformed investors who were more interested in convincing themselves that China was about to collapse than paying attention to the rapid growth taking place there and the profits being created as that happened.

Huge, futuristic complexes in Kangbashi, Yujiapu, Meixi, and Pudong were viewed as singular failures because they stood “empty” by Western standards. Legions of otherwise rational investors saw them as proof-positive that China’s economic machine was on a one-way track to nowhere.

Today, though, many of those very same “Ghost Cities” are vibrant, urban and fully alive exactly as I told you they would be a decade ago. What’s more, China itself has emerged as global economic powerhouse capable of dominating any market it enters for decades to come even if there’s no trade agreement.

Shanghai’s Pudong District is a particular standout. Once China’s laughingstock because it was so empty, the area now has a 99% occupancy rate and is home to more than 5 million people according to Knight Frank, an international real estate consultancy.

Now, I’m hearing about “ghost greenhouses.”

Sadly, though, this will not be a tale of unrivaled prosperity like most people think. In fact, the opposite is true and I believe the numbers point to the potential for unrivaled financial devastation.

Millions of unsuspecting investors risk losing everything.

Apple Pessimists Will HATE This Article

I love pessimists.

Why?

They help the rest of us make gobs of money, especially when it comes to a company like Apple Inc. (NasdaqGS:AAPL).

Shares are up 56% this year alone and on their way to another double.

Just not for reasons you might think.

Here’s what you need to know, and why there’s (barely) time to get on board.…

Apple is Still Inexpensive

Keith predicted Apple Inc. (NasdaqGS:AAPL) would double last January, when it was around $150 per share, and people thought he was a “space alien.” Now, the joke’s on everyone who didn’t buy because it’s closing in on $300 a share.

Why it’s Important to Fail…Hard and Often

Failure.

Most investors want desperately to succeed which is why they fall time and again for glitzy advertising, hype and – honestly – complete crap … much of which, unfortunately, comes from my industry.

Chances are you know exactly what I’m talking about.

But, here’s the secret.

You can’t just keep doing the same stupid things with your money if you want to truly live an extraordinary and very profitable life. You’ve got to tap into your subconscious and into your deepest fears first.

You’ve got to FAIL.

Just not for the reasons you might think.

The Problem with Investing and Self-Deception

I had lunch with a friend of mine a while back in Venice – Italy – not Beach.

On track to make “partner” at one of the big global investing powerhouses, he said he’s looking forward to making $3 million to $5 million a year. At which point, he’d be successful.

“What would you do then?” I asked.

He thought for a moment then answered, “Take a long trip to Italy.”

Hmmmm, I thought to myself as I took in another slug of café.

That’s what I was doing.

One of the biggest problems with investing is how people view it…
