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. |

| My
Thoughts on the Market |
Published: March 1, 2004
The major indices finished largely
unchanged in what turned out to be a fairly uneventful week last week,
with the Dow finishing –0.3% lower, the S&P gaining +0.1% and the
Nasdaq declining -0.4%. On the positive side of things, however, all
three of these indices managed to rally sharply higher in Monday's
trading on the heels of some positive economic news, including a sign
that employment levels might be improving in the manufacturing sector.
The tug of war continues to rage between the buyers
and sellers. When it comes to the sellers, a large number of investors
have been looking to nail down profits they've earned throughout the
stellar market run since last March. With the economy no longer growing
at the torrid pace it did last year, the potential for an increase in
interest rates later this year and equity valuations at historically
high levels, many sellers have decided to take this opportunity to lock
in gains.
Meanwhile, buyers have stepped in bought aggressively
on most market dips, helping to prop up the market in recent weeks.
These investors believe the bull market will continue throughout 2004
and into next year on the back of a strong U.S. economy, and thus do not
want to miss out on any further market gains.
So, who's right?
As I've mentioned previously, I still believe the
markets have enough life left in them to post another strong rally here
in the coming month or two. However, beyond that I expect to see at
least a 10-15% correction in the latter half of the year as the economy
cools off, investors flee from overvalued issues and the Fed begins to
ease interest rates higher.
Again, given our predominantly long-term-oriented
focus, my staff and I haven't changed our strategy much over the past
few months (or years, for that matter). For example, we continue to look
for companies that we expect to grow at a faster clip than the overall
market in the coming years. Along those lines, in today's issue we've
decided to examine several attractive-looking smallcap stocks. Over
time, history has shown that smallcap companies tend to grow at a much
faster pace than their largecap rivals.
In addition, we're going to continue our quest to
identify winning industries that are benefiting from a number of
catalysts at the moment. One such industry is the Oil & Gas Drilling
business. After badly underperforming the market throughout 2003, the
oil and gas industry looks poised for a major rebound in 2004 thanks to
booming energy demand, high prices and historically low supply levels.
In fact, we're already starting to see evidence of renewed investor
interest in this highly cyclical market. For example, a quick look at
the tables in section #1 above shows that an Oil & Gas related
industry now ranks among the top performers so far in 2004. For further
analysis of one of the most promising industries in this booming sector
– Oil & Gas Drilling -- please see article #5 below.
Good investing!
