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. |

RIT pays a regular monthly dividend, which has increased +74%
since the start of the year to $0.19 per share. Over the past 12
months, the fund has paid out $2.93 per share in dividends and
capital gains distributions, giving it a rich yield of 15.3% at today's
share price.
Since inception in 2002, the fund has produced total returns
(share price plus dividends) of +16% a year on average. That's
well ahead of the S&P 500, which has posted five-year average
annual total returns of just +13%. The shares are currently
trading at a slight discount of
-3.1% to the
value of the fund's investment portfolio, allowing investors to
purchase a dollar's worth of steady assets for less than 97
cents.
The value of RIT's investments will fluctuate along with changes
in interest rates and the economy. Stable or lower interest
rates generally allow real estate companies to continue growing,
but an economic slowdown could weaken demand for real estate and
put downward pressure on the fund's holdings. Also, the fund has
leveraged (borrowed against) about 25% of its portfolio assets,
leaving it exposed to higher short-term interest rates, which
could increase borrowing costs.
Still, RIT has held up relatively well amid the subprime
mortgage crisis and prolonged slowdown in the housing sector
over the past few months. After pulling back in June and July,
the fund has since recouped nearly half of its losses.
Action To Take ---> With
above-average long-term returns, strong dividend growth, and a
double-digit dividend yield, RIT has an attractive profile for
the more aggressive investor.
Good Investing!
