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.
-
Capture steady double-digit
income up to 14.2%
-
Zero in on booming sectors
that are returning 5x to 10x as much as the Dow
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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...
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.
I'll tell you how to get the rest of my top picks in
just a moment...
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 |

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!

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!

All seven of these sector
ETFs are good "buys" today. As you can see, one of my favorites is
Gabelli Global Utility (GLU). I'll tell you how to get the rest just
below...
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.

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.
