Income expert Carla Pasternak's debut issue of High-Yield International covers a Taiwanese manufacturer yielding 9.5%... a rare Mexican monopoly yielding 13.4%... and other top-performing investments yielding up to 19.0%.
 

Government's Biofuel Timetable Could Spell +15,900% Growth
+15,900% growth might seem far-fetched... but it's not. In fact, it is mandated by law. And I've identified the ONLY stock positioned to capture this growth.

The Silver Lining to a Falling Dollar
Despite the U.S. national debt, there is a silver lining for income investors. This massive spending, combined with movement out of U.S. Treasuries, is going to take its toll on the dollar, and international income investors could reap the rewards in the form of higher dividends.

July 2009

Cheap Condos Aren't the Best Deal in Vegas -- MGM Is
The economy doesn't look good. Housing looks even worse. So why should you be venturing into the Nevada desert for an investment opportunity?


How to Profit from a Game of Chicken
Chinese officials are reportedly instituting a blockade of U.S. chicken exports in response to U.S. trade policies involving Chinese chicken and new tariffs on Chinese tires. The move could cost U.S. chicken producers hundreds of millions of dollars. One firm in particular could see its shares hard-hit by panic selling -- which would offer investors a chance to profit handsomely from this trade riff.

How California Could Ruin the Recovery
A crisis is underway in Sacramento. The state of California has a $24 billion budget gap. With no solution on the horizon, lawmakers have just five trading days to resolve the issue. If the state can't meet its debt obligations in time, it faces the prospect of a possible multi-notch downgrade. Add this to the fact that California has the worst credit rating in the country, and you have the makings for a possible full-blown meltdown.


The 10 Banks That Made It -- And the Next Ones to Follow Suit
You've heard the news: The federal government has cleared the way for 10 of the nation's largest banks to begin repaying some $68.3 billion in bailout funds. In today's special edition of Investor Update, I'll reveal which banks this news is a buy signal for -- and which ones investors should look beyond. The answer may surprise you...

Federal Law Mandates +15,900% Growth for a Biofuel only a Handful of Firms Can Produce
There's one piece of legislation George W. Bush signed into law that President Obama likes. Included in its provisions: An aggressive federal timetable for the use of cellulosic ethanol. The law calls for 16 billion gallons of this biofuel to be produced by 2022. We're not producing any of it right now. Only a few companies even know how. And as these federal mandates take effect, the handful of companies that control this technology are going to watch as demand grows +15,900% and their revenue follows suit.

The Unknown Trillion-Dollar Coal Technology
Coal. If you think coal is dirty and does nothing but emit greenhouse gases and wreak environmental havoc, you're wrong. You've bought the hype. The fact is that, used properly, coal can be used to generate power with ZERO emissions. And the trick behind this technology is so simple, so elegant that you'll be amazed that no one's thought of it until now.

Answers to Your Questions About Profiting From Government Actions
The United States government is committing over $13 trillion to get the economy back on track. Companies are readily accepting this cash and putting it to good use while investors are clamoring to learn just how they can profit from the greatest financial force on the planet. An informed investor will be a successful investor. Let's take a look at your questions -- and the answers.

These Shares Will Absolutely Go Into Orbit After They Launch on May 14th
We've all watched the movies where intelligence agents in some high-tech room use satellites to get the pictures they need to save the world. Alas, that's not really the way it is. In the United States, in fact, the key provider of satellite images used by intelligence agencies isn't even the military. It's a pair of high-tech suppliers who operate their own spy satellites. One of them is about to go public. Investors who snap up these shares are going to make a killing, all courtesy of Uncle Sam.

These Two Drug Makers Are Benefiting as Governments Stockpile Flu Medication
The U.S. government has mounted an admirably quick response to the swine-flu outbreak and will continue to work with state medical officials and international health agencies to respond to the crisis. So far, two drugs have proven capable of fighting the potentially deadly influenza strain now known as H1-N1. As the world begins to respond to a potential pandemic, governments will stockpile and use millions of doses of these important medicines. That's good news for the people who will be treated.

March 2009

A Safe, 14.4% Yield Backed by Uncle Sam Is Now for the Taking
Seven U.S. companies have "AAA" credit ratings, the highest available from Standard & Poor's. Among these titans of industry are such names as Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft and Berkshire Hathaway.  But one -- and only one -- entity is even more highly rated.....Your Uncle Sam.

Buffett Tells Shareholders His Thoughts On the Market, Explains Berkshire's Latest Moves

Warren Buffett, the most successful investor and richest man in the world, has sent his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. The letter, revered for its folksy wisdom and plainspoken discourse on complex financial topics, reviews the year's performance at one of the world's most watched companies. Buffett's verdict: It was a bad year -- the worst for Berkshire in history -- but America's brightest days lie ahead.

February 2009

Microsoft's Next Move Could Earn You +1,900%
Microsoft announced Friday that it would begin to open retail stores and had hired a veteran Wal-Mart executive to run the initiative. Building a retail footprint for the world's No. 1 software maker will take time and money.  Microsoft has one but not the other. It can't wait any longer to make up the retail ground it has lost to Apple. I think that spells merger, and there's an obvious takeover candidate.

How to Double Oil's Gain as Crude Rebounds to $100
2008 was the worst year stocks had seen in more than 70 years, but it was the worst year ever for commodities.  For a lot of people, that's been good news for one reason: Prices at the pump are half of what they were a year ago.  But not everyone is happy with the falloff in commodities -- especially crude -- and oil producers around the world are slowing production in an attempt to bolster prices.  A few big-money traders are  investing hundreds of millions of dollars in an unusual way to take advantage of the anticipated run on oil.  Here's a look at what's going on and how you can get in on the action.

Will 2009 Deliver 1975's +31% Gains?
