In our regular monthly issue of my Retirement Millionaire newsletter, we asked subscribers to send us ideas they'd like to read about. Dozens of you have written in with suggestions.

On Wednesday night, Stansberry Research founder Porter Stansberry hosted an emergency briefing with one of the most well-connected insiders in Washington. We've called him the "Metropolitan Man."

They discussed sweeping policy changes that we could see this year – including tax reform – where they see the economy heading in the next few years, and where you should put your money.

Earlier this week, I was in Kiawah Island, South Carolina at the annual Stansberry Spring Editors' Conference.

Several dozen colleagues and I spent two days discussing current investment ideas and future trends... looking at ways to increase our rational investing and health care influence in the world... and much more.

Messages like this one are why I write my letters...

I think I have discovered a new hobby... one that can make me some money instead of costing money. I am enjoying this whole thing immensely... soaking up the webinars, the online education, the books. It all makes great sense to me. I don't think it will make me a gazillionaire like you guys, but it will get me closer to my $2 million retirement goal.

I love wine... Drinking it, making it, and sharing it...

Regular readers already know the benefits from drinking wine in moderation. And Stansberry Alliance members likely know that I even launched my own Cabernet Sauvignon from Dry Creek Valley last year (a spectacular success, but made in very limited quantities).

Recently, a reader wrote in asking me to "give up some of [my] antiquated notions about doctoring."

I like antiques as much as the next person, but I don't consider myself one.

I'm in Toronto...

Every time I'm in Canada, I make sure to indulge in one of my favorite comfort foods – poutine.

Fees are one of the greatest enemies to your investments.

High fees will erode your earnings... take a little bit of your money at a time... and add up to tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.

When I recommend a stock in Retirement Millionaire, I focus on income and whether the company has a long history of growing revenues...

Stocks like Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B), up 192% since we added it to our model portfolio, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), up 123%, and Microsoft (MSFT), up 165%...

Nearly nine years ago, I wrote the first issue of Retirement Millionaire.

Since then, one piece of advice has shaped how I share my knowledge of ways to improve your health and wealth: Take care of yourself.
