And investors who know where to put their money now could walk away with life-changing profits...

Fitz-Gerald Says Investors Have to Act Quickly on China

Because China's plan is already underway, now is the time to act. However, the mainstream media is just starting to cover their progress. That means investors have little time to wait to buy in if they want to reap once-in-a-lifetime profits from this opportunity.

Fitz-Gerald has been following China's attempt at developing their new Silk Road since 1997, and he says investors need to act right now.

"Not tomorrow. Not next month. Not next year. Today."

Fortunately, our readers will know exactly how to invest to profit from the One Belt, One Road Initiative. This is a can't-miss event, and Fitz-Gerald's pick could bring you over 40% profits by the end of 2017 alone...

Why Is China's Belt and Road Initiative a Big Deal?

China's One Belt, One Road Initiative is touted as a trillion-dollar investment by China to create additional and bigger markets to trade with.

The Belt and Road plan will connect economies across Asia, Europe, and Africa to China's economy through the building of new roads, tunnels, bridges, and ports. The countries involved account for more than a third of global GDP and nearly two-thirds of the world's population.

By developing infrastructure to connect this huge economic zone, China hopes to boost its economic growth and compete with the United States as a global economic leader. That's why sources like The New York Times reported last month (May 13) that China is investing over $1 trillion into the plan.

One Belt, One Road at a Glance

  • Involves up to 68 countries
  • Covers 65% of the world's population
  • Impacts more than 33% of global GDP
  • Countries involved produce more than 25% of all goods and services sold globally
  • China could spend over $5 trillion on infrastructure
  • Could be done in as quickly as 10 years

But Fitz-Gerald says that estimate is way too conservative. He says China's Belt and Road Initiative really has a $5 trillion price tag.

That means China's not just hoping to trade with more countries, they're investing in the infrastructure needed to physically connect them. That sort of infrastructure spending could be a boon to investors by itself.

In fact, American firms like General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) are already trying to capitalize on the spending. GE is bidding to supply $7 billion worth of new equipment for Chinese construction companies working on the new Silk Road this year.

And if a $244 billion company like GE says it has a "laser focus" on this opportunity, then investors everywhere should too.

The good news is you can profit from China's ambitions without buying stocks on the Chinese exchanges. You don't need to worry about dollar-to-yuan exchange rates or find someone who speaks Mandarin, either.

You can bring down a potential 40% profit windfall this year alone, and it's a simple trade any investor can make...

How to Turn One Belt, One Road into Double-Digit Profits

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA) is our top stock to buy to profit from China's growing economic might.

BABA already dominates China's e-commerce industry, just like Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) does here. Since China's e-commerce market could amass sales of $2.4 trillion by 2020, according to eMarketer, BABA has incredible growth potential.

Alibaba already has 454 million users in China, and the new Silk Road could expand Alibaba's reach to countries across Asia and Europe, too. In fact, Alibaba just purchased Lazada Group, an e-commerce business operating in Southeast Asia. That could add 200 million more users to BABA's user base and potentially even more as economic integration across Asia grows.

But BABA does a lot more than just e-commerce, and that sort of diversity will help investors take advantage of China's growth during its new Silk Road expansion.

"Alibaba is working on advanced artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, and next-generation technologies that will bolster China's economy for decades to come," Fitz-Gerald said.

BABA's mobile payments platform might have the most potential of all of its businesses. BABA's financial affiliate, Ant Financial Services Group, just bought MoneyGram International Inc. (Nasdaq: MGI). MGI is the world's biggest money transfer service.

The Belt and Road plan will help Alibaba expand its customer base on a global scale, all while the Chinese government foots the bill. And BABA's move into mobile payments will help it tap into new markets in these countries, too. That's not to mention what a growing Chinese economy will do for Alibaba's profits.

BABA's already up 33.53% since its IPO in 2014, and it's going to grow even more along with China. That's why Wall Street is bullish on the stock. Analysts are projecting it could hit a price target of $180 this year, a 46% gain from its current price of $125.37.

But there's another type of investment he wants Money Morning Members to know about. It's one of his favorites, a kind of "desert island fund" he'd buy if he had to park his money in one place, "retire" from civilization for 20 years, and come back to a pile of money.
