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. |

| Profit
from Rising Interest Rates by Investing in Adjustable Preferred
Shares |
Published: October 19, 2005
Rising interest rates got you down? One way to help ease the pain on
your portfolio is to invest in preferred shares with adjustable interest
rates. In the most recent issue of our premium, income-oriented
newsletter -- High-Yield Investing -- editor Carla Pasternak put
the spotlight on a high-quality preferred stock that not only offers a
7.0% dividend yield, but that could also provide increased dividend
payments as interest rates move higher in the coming months...
Entergy Gulf States
Preferred D (GSU-PD) -- With their $3.50 per share annual dividend
payment, these preferred shares now yield about 7.0%. Besides offering
an attractive yield, the dividend is also paid out at an adjustable rate
-- or altered quarterly -- to keep pace with changing interest rates.

If you believe rates will fall,
then this is not the investment for you. But if, like many investors,
you think higher rates are as inevitable as death and taxes, then
adjustable-rate preferred issues like GSU-PD are the way to go. The
stock's dividend rate is guaranteed to be 0.7% above the yield on the
three-month, 10-year, or 30-year Treasury bill rate (whichever is
higher), and not less than 7.0% or more than 13.5%.
The issuer, Entergy (ETR), is the second largest nuclear energy producer
in the U.S. The New-Orleans based utility is a major electrical
distributor throughout the Gulf States. Not surprisingly, its operations
were affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. But analysts see the
impact as short-term and expect the company's profits to grow as its
nuclear power-generating business provides an alternative to high-priced
natural gas.
Meanwhile, the utility's credit rating has moved up a notch and is just
below investment grade at BB+. Unlike many preferred shares, this stock
does appear to qualify for the lower 15% tax rate.
Action to Take: After looking through about half a dozen
adjustable-rate preferred share issues, I zeroed in on GSU-PD as
offering the highest yield. However, in future issues of my premium
income-oriented newsletter -- High-Yield Investing -- I plan to
highlight other floating-rate issues with higher credit ratings.
