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. |

Great Way to Capitalize on Strong Growth in Emerging Markets |
Published: July 18, 2005
In the coming years, a variety
of emerging market economies are likely to deliver much stronger
economic than we're bound to see here in the U.S. Many developing
nations across the globe routinely deliver annual GDP (Gross Domestic
Product) growth in excess of +5%, and in some cases even +10% or more.
Meanwhile, the U.S. economy is considered to be in excellent shape if we
manage to post GDP growth of 3% to 4%.
In order to capitalize on the
stellar growth being offered by these emerging markets, investors may
want to take a closer look at the Emerging Markets iShares (EEM,
$74.75). This high-quality exchange-traded fund (ETF) invests in a
diversified basket of stocks in a number of high-growth markets around
the world.
The Emerging Markets iShares
broadly tracks the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital
International (MSCI) Emerging Markets Index. This index represents the
performance of the world's major emerging markets, including South
Korea, South Africa, China, India, Russia, Taiwan and Brazil, among
others. All told, the fund owns a stake in roughly 300 different
companies across the globe.
As I noted above, in the coming
decades emerging markets are likely to grow at a much faster clip than
larger, more developed economies like the United States. This growth
will be fueled by a number of different factors, including credit
expansion, investment in new infrastructure, improved education and
strong export sales to developed nations.
Despite the strong gains the
fund has posted over the past few years, EEM's valuation is still quite
compelling. Based on trailing 12-month earnings, the fund's average
holding sports a P/E of just 9.7. That compares to an average P/E of
around 16 for the S&P 500. This is despite the fact that several of
the main countries the fund invests in are growing twice as quickly as
the U.S.
Emerging markets are certainly
riskier than developed markets like the U.S. As a result, investors
should expect to see them trade at a slight valuation discount. However,
by diversifying among dozens of countries in several different regions,
this fund helps to minimize those risks. All in all, EEM looks like a
solid, well diversified play on several fast-growing emerging markets.
As such, the fund could make an excellent long-term addition to your
portfolio.
