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. |

| Panera
Bread (PNRA) Looks Ready to Rebound |
Published: August 22, 2005
Last August, when the low-carb
craze reached its peak, millions of bread-avoiding consumers kept Panera
Bread's (PNRA, $52.75) same-store sales stuck in neutral -- comps in the
second quarter of 2004 rose a slim 1.9%. A year later, though, the
driving force behind the fad -- Atkins Nutritionals -- has filed for
bankruptcy, its followers have abandoned the diet in droves, and Panera
Bread is once again posting record results.
The bakery-café
operator recently reported strong top-line growth of +33%, as revenues for the
quarter checked in at $140.2 million. Bakery sales -- which represent
roughly three-fourths of total revenues -- jumped +38%, driven by a
healthy +9.3% gain in same-store sales, as well as the addition of 131
new locations. Panera now has nearly 800 retail outlets in its system,
with another sixty on the way before the end of the fiscal year. Despite
rising food costs that cut into operating margins, net income for the
quarter still surged +61% to a record $10.4 million, or $0.33 per share.
With its Via Panera catering
service generating impressive results, and upbeat forecasts for
impressive earnings growth of +27% this year, Panera Bread is well
positioned for future growth. After watching the stock pull back from
its mid-June high of $66.49 down to recent lows of under $53, now could be a perfect time for investors
to establish new positions in PNRA.
