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. |

| Give
Your Portfolio a Lift from a Falling Dollar |
Published: January 5, 2005
Forget oil. Forget Fed Chief
Alan Greenspan. What’s really moving the markets right now is the rise
and fall of the American dollar. The world’s most important currency
has been on a steady decline throughout the past three years, but
recently has taken a turn for the worse. Since 2000, the U.S. dollar has
fallen nearly -50% against the euro and in the past few weeks it hit its
lowest level since 1995 against the world’s major currencies. The
greenback is now near an all-time low against the euro, close to a
five-year low against the Japanese yen and nearly half the value of the
British pound.
You might wonder what the weak dollar has to do with the stock market.
The answer to that question is simple, as the dollar’s value affects
everything from the price of toothpaste to the pace of economic growth.
Simply put, the danger of a weak dollar is that it can trigger
inflation. That's because imported goods, like electronics and clothing,
become more expensive when the dollar loses its value relative to
foreign currencies.
Even more alarming is the
impact a declining dollar can have on the financial markets. As the
dollar's value falls against foreign currencies like the euro or
Japanese yen, overseas investors are often inclined to dump their
investments in U.S. stocks and bonds. (After all, when the dollar loses
value relative to their home currency, foreign investors do not see
great returns from U.S. investments.) If these foreign investors, whose
huge bond holdings are propping up the dollar, were to sell their
investments, the dollar would lose even more of its value.
When making new portfolio choices in 2005, investors need to be
especially wary of companies that may see their margins squeezed by
high-cost imports from abroad. Importers such as Wal-Mart (WMT, $52.82)
could suffer, as the cost of goods they buy from abroad might become
more expensive in dollar terms, yet competitive pressures could force
them to keep prices low.

The dollar’s slide is not all
bad news, though. In fact, savvy investors are likely to profit from the
dollar’s decline by identifying stocks that stand to benefit from a
slumping greenback. With this in mind, in the January issue of our High-Yield
Investing newsletter we zeroed in on leading stocks in three
sectors that should gain ground from a weak dollar. All three of the
following groups should benefit from a falling dollar:
-- U.S. companies that operate heavily in overseas markets
-- Firms in the tourist industry
-- Foreign companies trading on U.S. exchanges
