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.



Recent Winners: Chinese Commodity Stock Delivers Gains of +168%

As editor of StreetAuthority's premium Half-Priced Stocks newsletter, I always have my eyes open for sharply undervalued stocks that might make good additions to one of our model portfolios. The most promising of these candidates are placed in our "Watch List," where we actively track their progress -- and alert readers if we think the time is right to make an investment.

Such was the case in October 2006, when we first profiled Aluminum Corp. of China (NYSE: ACH, $42.70), otherwise known as Chalco. Leading up to that issue, we had watched the stock tumble 50% in a matter of months. Yet, the firm's underlying cash flows were stout, and its dividend had soared more than twenty-fold in recent years. That unique combination resulted in a rich payout of nearly 8% -- making ACH an ideal pick for that month's "Feature Article," which focused on undervalued stocks with high yields.

As the leading aluminum producer in China (the world's second-most rabid aluminum consumer), Chalco benefits from cheap labor, considerable scale advantages, and its cozy ties to the Chinese government. We pointed out all of these factors at the time, adding that "those willing to shoulder a higher degree of volatility should eventually see impressive returns."

So when we checked back in on the company in mid-February, it didn't surprise us to report that the shares had already rocketed +70%, climbing from a split-adjusted price of $15.93 to a then current price of $27.00. This rally was (and still is) partially attributable to the rapid industrialization of fast-growing countries like China and India, which has fueled robust demand for raw materials and pushed prices for base metals like copper and aluminum to multi-year highs. And Chalco is well-positioned to meet that growing demand, having closed several key acquisitions and recently purchasing three new smelters to boost production capacity.

None of this has escaped Wall Street's attention, and one prominent brokerage has doubled its price target on the stock. And since our February update, ACH has jumped another +60% to reach $42.70 per share -- capping a remarkable +168% run-up since our initial recommendation nine months ago.

In our July issue of Half-Priced Stocks, we will zoom in on another foreign company with similar potential -- this one a top global steelmaker. The firm enjoys a monopoly-like hold over its market, recently posted a +40% jump in operating profits, and has attracted the attention of none other than Warren Buffett. Yet, for all its credentials, the company is still trading at a wide double-digit discount to its fair value.
