November 2009:

The Only Three Ways Left to Profit Today...

Using this triple-pronged attack, I'm making money from 24 of my 27 picks. (The others are dead even.)

Dear Investor,

     Here in the last two months of 2009, I see just 3 reliable ways to make money in today's market.

  1. Capture steady double-digit income up to 14.2%

  2. Zero in on booming sectors that are returning 5x to 10x as much as the Dow

  3. Tap into stocks in the world's fastest-growing foreign economies

     The surest way to make money from all three profit-trends? Exchange-traded funds. If you're ready to stake your claim in this profit patch, you're in the right place.

     My name is Nathan Slaughter, and I'm the Chief Investment Strategist of The ETF Authority.

     I've been watching ETFs for a decade... and have seen them mature into the investor's best choice to capture mouthwatering income and capital gains.

     Since the first ETF was introduced in 1993, this novel security has grown like kudzu.

     They started out as plain-vanilla vehicles designed to track the Dow and the S&P 500. But over the past 16 years ETFs have blossomed into a wide-ranging universe of securities covering hundreds of exotic indexes, industry sectors, commodities and foreign markets.

     There are now 787 ETFs in the U.S. Add in their 669 closed-end-fund cousins, and you have a total of 1,456 exchange-traded funds. Together, they constitute 29% of the 4,974 names traded on the NYSE, Nasdaq and AMEX. You are ignoring a huge pool of opportunities if you aren't looking to these unique vehicles.

     I've never understood how investors could chain themselves to common stocks or mutual funds, especially after seeing the high monthly income and triple-digit capital gains that await them with ETFs

     So I created The ETF Authority -- an entire newsletter dedicated to identifying the most profitable ETFs available today.

Only ETFs Give You This Unique Triple Play

  1. You can capture steady double-digit income ranging from 10% - 14.2%
    Because ETFs spread risk across numerous holdings, you can take on higher yield. And some ETFs are selling at such huge discounts that they're offering their highest yields in history
    .
     

  2. You can make quick capital gains ranging from +30% to +50% in months from booming sectors
    Pick the right sector and you can make profits like that without ever having to guess about a stock again. Right now in my "Sector Trading" portfolio, I have a construction play that is up +48.0%.. a consumer staples fund that's up +57.6%... and a metals fund that's up +38.8%... all in a matter of months.

     

  3. You can tap into profits as high as +3,786% in the world's fastest-growing economies
    Most of the world's fastest-growing stocks don't trade in the U.S. But ETFs are loaded with them, giving you the only way to load up on exotic stocks like the one that returned +3,786% in 2007!

     ETF Authority is the only advisory devoted to exploring this three-way profit play. Let's look at each leg of this triple play in more depth, starting with the unusually high yields this asset class throws off...

ETF Strategy #1

We're Capturing Dividend Yields
up to 14.2% -- Right Now

     If you like dividends, you'll find plenty to love about ETFs. They're the unsung heroes of dividend investing. And they offer remarkably fertile hunting grounds for yield-hungry investors.

     Since your bills come in monthly, it's nice to have your income come in monthly too.

     The problem is, only 23 stocks on the major U.S. exchanges pay investors in monthly installments ... so your options are extremely limited. 

     But thanks to the introduction of this revolutionary asset class, ETFs offer you a whole new world of monthly income. An incredible 190 of these unique investment vehicles make monthly distributions. Do the math and you'll see that ETFs make up 90% of your monthly income options on the major exchanges!

     When you make the choice to invest in an ETF with a monthly dividend, you'll probably be surprised when your first check shows up so soon.  And you'll likely be surprised the next month, too, when another check arrives.  After the third month, you'll be spoiled -- you'll find it's easy to grow accustomed to this lucrative new source of passive income!

     To investors nearing retirement, this is a game-changer. The days of struggling to get monthly income from your investment portfolio are over. You can now receive a steady income stream simply by using our top-ranked ETFs.

     It's not just more convenient to be paid monthly... you actually earn more that way too.  Thanks to compound interest, a fund paying out 1% monthly doesn't have a yield of 12%, but actually 12.68% -- a big difference over time! (You'll find the name of one of our favorite monthly-payers below.)

     Plus, many of the best funds offer extremely stable -- and growing -- income.  A few of our favorites, which we've profiled in the "High Income Portfolio" of our ETF Authority newsletter, have seen their dividends surge up to +130% over the past three years!

     Bottom line -- if you aren't using ETFs to capture a solid income stream, then you're missing out on the vast majority of today's most attractive double-digit income generators.

     In my ETF Authority newsletter you'll find an entire portfolio of high-yielders... paying up to 14.2%. The table below gives you a snapshot of this "High-Income" portfolio -- including performance data for every high-yield ETF I've added since November...

     All eight of these high-income ETFs are "buys" today. As you can see, one of my favorites is Van Kampen Bond (VBF).

     This fund's management just announced plans that they'll be changing their payments from quarterly to monthly. This ETF remains one of my top picks for any investor wanting to profit from the high-quality corporate bond sector.

ETF Strategy #2

We're Plugging Into Booming
Foreign Markets -- Right Now

     Who could have guessed at the start of the year that the strongest stock market in the world would be Peru -- up an astounding +136%? Or that Indonesia would be next, up +114%, then Brazil at +106%... followed by Russia at +97%... all the while our own S&P 500 trailed far behind at just +16%?

ETFs -- Your Key to
Unlocking Hidden Treasures

Only a fraction of the thousands of foreign stocks generating jaw-dropping returns are listed on U.S. exchanges.

In India, for example, stocks have showered investors with gains of +70% so far this year. But only 7 of the 3,544 stocks in India are listed on a major U.S. exchange. So 99.8% of your investing options in this emerging market are practically "off-limits."

But I've found a single ETF that gives you access to 123 different securities on the Indian stock exchange. These include some of the world's best-performing stocks in recent years -- exotic names like Bharti Airtel (up +3,551% since 2003) and Jindal Steel and Power (up +9,645% since 2003).

U.S. investors couldn't touch these stocks a few years ago. But thanks to the introduction of several new India-focused ETFs, hundreds of these Indian money-making juggernauts are now finally within your grasp.

And India is just one example. You can now access stocks in far-flung markets like China, Brazil, Singapore and Russia with the click of a mouse. These are the kinds of opportunities U.S. investors could only dream about a few short years ago.

     Just a few years ago, it was almost impossible for individual investors like us to buy into these exotic foreign markets. Now ETFs make it cheap and easy to flit from market to market, feasting on the upward swing of each -- without leaving the U.S. exchanges.

     ETFs aren't wishy-washy, over-
diversified "global" mutual funds that invest in so many countries at once that you're guaranteed a mediocre return. These are regional and country funds concentrated enough to give your portfolio a real boost as these areas of the world take off.

2010 Projected Growth

China +7.5%
India +5.6%
Indonesia +5.1%
South Korea +4.2%
Philippines +4.1%
Middle East +3.5%
Australia +2.5%
Brazil +2.2%
Canada +1.2%
Euro area +0.4%

United States

0.0%

     And I think it's safe to say more big foreign gains lie ahead. In the next year, China is projected to grow +7.5%... India, +5.6%... Indonesia, +5.1%... and South Korea, +4.2%.

     While the U.S. is stuck in neutral, you can put your money to work in places enjoying strong growth -- and where corporations are increasing their earnings. That痴 where stock prices and dividends will rise fastest and soonest.

     I can't make a clearer or stronger case for picking up some foreign ETFs than that.

     Once you start investing in these profit machines, you'll find that many ETFs actually do better than the average stock in the countries they focus on:

  • An ETF that tracks Brazilian stocks was up +702% over five years, beating the overall Brazilian market by 366 percentage points.
     

  • An ETF that tracks Indian stocks turned $10,000 into $111,000 in 10 years. The same $10,000 invested in Indian stocks in general would have grown to just $77,000.
     

  • An ETF that tracks 25 of the largest Chinese companies was up +191% over three years, outperforming the Hang Seng Index (+94%) by almost +100 percentage points.

     Thanks to ETFs, dozens of booming markets and fast-growing economies on the other side of the world are now just a mouse click away.

     I cover at least one international ETF in every issue of ETF Authority. You'll find my absolute favorites in my "Global Growth Portfolio."

     These ETFs have generated gains of +54.4%, +60.5%, and +67.8% just since December!

ETF Strategy #3

We're Cashing In On Gravity-Defying
Market Sectors -- Right Now

     Invest in the right sector and you値l see your money grow no matter how lousy the rest of the market does.

     Just look at what happened during last year痴 financial meltdown. Most investors saw their portfolios wither. But for ETF investors focused on the right sectors, their portfolios never looked better.

     Thanks to booming pockets of the economy like agriculture and energy, many sector-based ETFs are sitting on triple-digit gains over the last year.

     These focused money-makers can help you zero in on industries as broad as oil, steel, and financials, all the way down to narrow niches like nuclear energy, gaming, and luxury goods.

     So no matter what happens to the overall market, you'll always have profitable investment choices at your fingertips.

     An obvious example these days is commodities. As dozens of once-poor nations join the industrialized world, this is shaping up as the best time in decades to invest in energy and other raw materials. Even when growth slows here, the rapid growth of China, India and Brazil increases the strain on the supply of raw materials.

Sector Profit Watch: Agribusiness

     Another sector on fire is agribusiness, and there are at least six major ETFs and a good half dozen smaller niche ones that track that sector.

     I've got my eye on one ETF in particular. It holds major names like Deere, Monsanto, and Potash, as well as foreign stocks you'd have a hard time learning about here.

     Like Asian food-oil producer Wilmar (up +148% in a year) . . . and palm oil processor IOI Corp (up +71% in three years).

     Japanese equipment maker Komatsu, one of the fund's top holdings, has seen earnings surge10-fold over the past decade.

     The index this ETF tracks is up +30% over the past 12 months, and it's on its way to sky-high gains, because there's no doubt that we're in the early stages of this global boom..

     In the last prolonged bull market in commodities, from 1969 to 1974, prices of some raw materials rose by over +1,000%. And many stocks leveraged to raw commodities prices rose far higher. The same thing will happen in this generation's commodity bull market . . . and ETFs are by far the easiest way to grab some of the profits.

     But I think the future is even brighter for alternative energy ETFs. Whether it's biomass, geothermal, solar energy, wind energy, wave power . . . we are going to use more of it in the years ahead. It's such a no-brainer that even the politicians agree on it. When is the last time you saw that?

     You've got the government on your side on this one. Obama is the greenest president ever. Capitol Hill recently passed a bill mandating that 15% of electricity from private utilities be generated from solar, wind and other renewable sources by 2020.

     Right now, just 0.2% of our electric energy comes from alternative sources. So a jump to 15% means +7,400% government-mandated growth.

     It's not just happening here. Last year, European leaders vowed to source 20% of their energy needs from renewables such as biomass, hydro, wind and solar power by 2020.

     Governments around the world are providing subsidies, incentives and tax breaks to alternative energy. And hundreds of energy companies are jumping on the green-power wagon, too.

     Since this is a field littered with small start-ups and hard-to-find foreign companies, ETFs come in extremely handy here. I just added one enticing alt-energy ETF to my "Sector Trading" Portfolio -- a new fund focused on wind power. With wind power in the U.S. growing at a +45% clip last year, I think early investors may be sitting on a triple-digit winner.

     You'll get full details on this ETF the moment you join The ETF Authority. I値l tell you how in a second.

     In the meantime, here痴 every ETF in my "Sector Trading" portfolio right now. These ETFs have already generated +54.4%, +60.5%, and even +67.8% since December!

Introducing My Own Rating
System to Find the Best ETFs

     ETFs give you the cheapest, smartest, and most convenient way to invest in every asset class under the sun... but they don't give you a crystal ball!

     So I've developed the next-best thing: The ETF Authority Composite Rating System. This is my own creation and you won't find it anywhere else.

     I combine five technical and fundamental measures into this proprietary system, looking to uncover ETFs with the highest potential and lowest risk. It's the only system that recommends ETFs based on how they will perform, not on how they did perform.
I crunch the numbers on every ETF I review: performance and relative returns, fees and expenses, volatility and tax efficiency . . . and grade each one from 1 to 5.

     My Composite Rating System is just one of the unique benefits The ETF Authority brings to investors.

     I started this service because I saw a crying need to spread the word about the overwhelming benefits of exchange-traded funds.
Millions of investors that should be in these revolutionary vehicles are instead overpaying for substandard mutual funds or taking needless risks with individual stocks.

In Every Issue, ETF Secrets Few People Know

     As you'll also discover in The ETF Authority, not all ETFs are created equal. I値l show you differences between the families of ETFs. Some are more explosive, others safer and more diversified. For example, ETFs in the Barclay's iShares group are market weighted, which means their assets are concentrated in a few big-cap players.
ETFs in the Powershares family are equal-weighted, spreading out assets among many players. Powershares are better for capturing growth across an entire sector.
You'll learn a few ETF "shameful secrets" most investors will never catch on to. Some ETFs have half their assets in one or two stocks. That's not diversification. You might as well just buy the stock.

Look to The ETF Authority for ETF Winners!

The results speak for themselves in recommendations our team has made:

+269.9% in 28 months on a China-Focused ETF
+197.3% in 47 months on a Real Estate ETF
+115.8% in 26 months on an Emerging Markets ETF
+109.9% in 26 months on a China-Focused ETF
+77.3% in 26 months on a Latin-American ETF
+75.7% in 26 months on a Singapore ETF
+59.1% in 24 months on an Emerging Markets ETF
+59.0% in 16 months on a Hong Kong ETF
+47.7% in 26 months on a South Korea ETF
+41.1% in 11 months on a BRIC ETF
+40.8% in 21 months on a Global Tax-Advantaged ETF
+38.2% in 24 months on a Central European ETF
+32.2% in 17 months on a Tax-Advantaged Dividend ETF

    Take iShares MSCI Korea (EWY). It's a decent way to play the Korean stock market, but you should be aware that one stock -- Samsung Electronics -- makes up almost a fifth of its value.

     Say you want to put some money into biotech. Two of your choices are the Biotech HOLDRS (BBH) and iShares Nasdaq Biotech (IBB). If you buy BBH, you've got 81% of your money in just three stocks (Genentech, Gilead and Affymetrix). By contrast, IBB has just 26% of its assets in its top three holdings.

     Select SPDR Energy (XLE) has 42% of its money in just three stocks: Exxon Mobil, Chevron and Schlumberger. Likewise with Pharmaceutical HOLDRS (PPH). Pfizer, J&J and Merck make up 50% of its assets.

     I'll alert you to dangerously concentrated ETFs like these -- so you know what you're getting into before you buy in.

     More importantly, I'll tell you about all the outstanding new ETFs that I知 finding in every niche of the market. With a new ETF coming out every business day, you have an embarrassment of riches to choose from.

     I知 constantly screening the fast-expanding ETF universe for the cheapest, best-constructed and best-run ETFs of the bunch. When I find the right dividend, sector or foreign-growth play I add it to my portfolios and urge you to do the same.
This is just a taste of what you値l find in every issue of The ETF Authority.
