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. |

Tax-Free Yields of Nearly 7% via an Investment in this Closed-End
Fund |
Published: November 14, 2005
BlackRock Municipal Income Trust II (BLE, $15.24)
If you believe that the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike
campaign is nearing an end, then you're in good company. Renown bond
fund manager Bill Gross, who runs PIMCO, the world's largest bond fund,
thinks the Fed may soon be staying the course on interest rates. He's
bullish on bonds and counts BLE as one of his holdings.

As the name tells you, this fund invests in tax-exempt municipal
bonds, so the 6.5% yield equates to 8.8% if you're in a 25% tax bracket.
About 80% of its bonds are investment grade, making for secure interest
payments. The bonds are long term, with an average maturity of more than
five years. More than half the bonds were issued by hospitals, state and
local governments, or industrial pollution control centers.
Despite rising interest rates, which reduce the value of bond holdings,
the fund has delivered total returns of about +12% so far this year, on
par with its annual average performance for the past three years.
Action to Take: The fund is trading at a slight premium to
the value of its portfolio assets. For now, I'm keeping BLE on my radar
screen while I wait for a pullback in the shares.
