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. |

Update for Value Investors |
Published: June 20, 2006
As regular readers of our
premium Half-Priced
Stocks newsletter are aware, we have had a bearish outlook for
domestic equities for the past several months.
Though corporate profitability remains healthy, the impact of sixteen
consecutive rate hikes is beginning to clamp down on economic growth,
and rising inflationary pressures have alarmed investors and sparked
widespread equity market sell-offs around the world.
Aside from the troubling macroeconomic fundamentals underpinning the
market, the current bull market has now extended into its 44th month --
considerably longer than the typical up cycle usually lasts. Since
bottoming out in October 2002, the Nasdaq Composite has soared +82%.
Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 have
delivered impressive gains of approximately +45% and +54%, respectively.
If nothing else, stocks may need some time to catch their breath after
this sharp advance.
However, history has taught us that the markets seldom move up (or down)
in straight lines. And given the strong run-up over the last four years,
the risk/reward dynamics currently favor a more defensive posture.
When the next bear market finally does arrive, it is important to be
prepared for greater volatility. However, we are not suggesting that you
need to liquidate your holdings and hide the proceeds under a mattress
until the storm has passed -- only that you make your portfolio as
watertight as possible.
In the "Feature Article" section of our next issue of Half-Priced
Stocks, we will outline a number of proven strategies to help you
profit from today's volatile market. By taking action now, you can make
your portfolio as rock-solid as possible, and you should be able to post
continued gains even if the overall market heads south.
Meanwhile, in our next "Industry Spotlight" article, we will
zoom in on the shipping industry. All goods have to get from point 'A'
to point 'B', and ocean-going tankers are an often overlooked link in
the supply chain. In our next issue we will examine some of the
strongest players in the space -- companies that churn out steady cash
flows and offer generous dividend yields of up to 18%. Best of all, with
the industry stuck in a cyclical downtrend for over a year, many
shipping stocks are now trading 40% or more below their highs. As a
result, there are many excellent bargains to be had -- several firms in
this group are now selling at a steep discount to their fair value.
Stay tuned . . .
