Important Updates for Investors
Carla Pasternak's Premiere Issue of High-Yield International Just
Released
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. |

Change of Guard: Wind Power is
In |
[http://www.streetauthority.com/includes/article-top-ao.htm]Published:
November 24, 2008
If you think wind made impressive advances when an oilman was in
the White House, just wait for President Barack Obama.
 |
|
In 2007 the clean electricity generated by wind in the
U.S. alone prevented the emission of 28 million tons of
filthy carbon dioxide. |
The
nation's incoming president made renewable and alternative
energy a key campaign issue. Obama sounded off against the
continued use of coal-fired power plants. "If somebody wants to
build a coal-powered plant, they can," he said during the
campaign. "It's just that it will bankrupt them."
Obama's plan calls for
10% of our electricity to come from green sources by 2012
and for 25% by 2025. (This tracks with recent legislation
mandating 15% by
2020.)
The United States' efforts mirrors initiatives in Europe and China.
China's new energy plans, released in September 2007, calls
for the nation to generate 10% of its power from wind by
2010 and 15% by 2015. The EU has mandated that 20% of its energy comes from
renewable sources like wind by 2020. Denmark has achieved
this already. Across Europe, wind turbines will account for
roughly one-third of all new generating capacity installed
in the next few years, and they could provide electricity
for 90 million people by 2010.
The wind power movement isn't limited to large countries like China
or to rich countries like the United States. It's global.
North Africa and the Middle East increased wind energy
installations by +42% in 2007. A recent study showed Egypt,
which has strong wind in the Suez Gulf, could host 20,000
megawatts of wind farms. Brazil has begun
to embrace wind: 14 projects totaling 107 megawatts are
expected to be completed this year, with more than 900
megawatts slated for 2009.
But right now, even despite these huge advances, wind power still accounts for
an eensy fraction of the world's energy needs -- about 1% in
the United States and 1.3% globally.
You can do the math. But unless and until someone discovers the
fountain of youth, I doubt you will find any industry in the
world with as much growth potential.

A Strong Case for
Wind
Fact: Wind energy grew 667% between 2000 and
2008, from 2,554 megawatts of installed U.S. capacity to
19,600. In that time, in fact, the United States became
the world leader in wind power generation, outpacing
Germany.
Fact: A 2005 NASA study pegged the power of the
global wind supply at 72 terawatts, or roughly five
times global power consumption. That means there is
virtually no limit to the degree from which the world
can harness this 100% clean, 100% free and 100%
renewable resource. It's only a matter of time, and the
clock is ticking.
Fact: The demand for wind power isn't only strong
and globally pervasive, in most nations it has been
codified into law.
Fact: Nearly
three dozen U.S. states that have mandated utilities buy
an increasing amount of their electricity from renewable
resources. They literally have to buy wind turbines.
Not only is there a stick there is also a carrot:
Congress, as part of the recent $700 billion TARP
bailout, extended a $0.02 per kilowatt hour production
tax credit. This means that cash goes straight to their
bottom line, not to Uncle Sam. Both of these factors
will continue to provide a strong incentive for wind
power. |
The change of guard in Washington will soon take place. And
Obama has practically vowed to turn the White House "green."
Coal power is out. Wind power is in. The wind industry will be
the focal point of government mandated energy initiatives for
the next few decades.
We've pinpointed a select group of FOUR investments that
will benefit the most when an unprecedented infusion of
government cash is pumped into this industry.
These companies are immune to nearly all outside economic
forces. They have their sales orders on file, in amounts that
will set them -- and you -- up for years to come.
Learn how to profit from
wind power.
