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. |

| Starbucks
(SBUX) Plans Store Growth of Nearly +250% |
Published: October 18, 2006
Shares of Starbucks (SBUX) are back in favor with investors. After a disappointing quarterly earnings release back in
August, recent same-store sales trends indicate that there's no slowdown in
SBUX's growth.
SBUX same-store sales growth came in at +6% for September, a considerable
improvement from the +4% growth SBUX reported in the prior month. Back in
August, Starbucks blamed its slowing same-store sales growth on lengthy waits at its locations during the morning rush period -- these waits were
caused by long preparation times for iced beverages. SBUX quickly corrected
the problem, and sales growth has now reaccelerated.
Going forward, the real gains for investors will come from Starbucks' long-term expansion plans. The company's newest long-term target is to open
40,000 stores worldwide, with roughly half in the U.S. and half
internationally. That's a significant upward revision from its previous estimate of 30,000 stores globally. It also represents a significant gain
from SBUX's current store count of roughly 12,000 locations. This rosy
growth target implies that SBUX isn't even close to saturating its market.
As such, the stock remains an excellent long-term "Buy."
Good investing!
