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.





Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) Information

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) such as the Nasdaq 100 Trust (symbol QQQ) and the S&P 500 SPDR (symbol SPY) have become extremely popular tools for traders and investors over the past couple of years. And for good reason! These unique financial instruments are essentially passive mutual funds, similar to traditional index funds, that allow investors to purchase a basket of securities in a single transaction. Their popularity has soared over the past few years thanks to the fact that they boast a number of key advantages over both mutual funds and common stocks. These include...

  • Diversification -- Each ETF represents an interest in an underlying basket of common stocks. This allows investors to gain broad exposure to a large group of companies in one fell swoop.
  • Low Cost -- Unlike traditional mutual and index funds, you can purchase ETFs with no front- or back-end loads. In addition, because they are not actively managed, most ETFs charge minimal annual expenses of under 1%, making them much more affordable than most other diversified investment vehicles.
  • Liquidity -- Unlike traditional funds, ETFs can be bought and sold throughout the trading day. In addition, the more popular ETFs, such as QQQ and SPY, are some of the most heavily-traded instruments on the market, making them perfect targets for short-term traders. For example, the average daily volume for the Nasdaq 100 Trust (QQQ) alone now sits at roughly 80 million shares, making it the most active security on Wall Street.
  • So Many Choices -- The American Stock Exchange alone now lists over 100 different ETFs. Some of these funds track broad U.S. equity market indices. Meanwhile, others track specific sectors or industry groups. Still others represent an interest in baskets of foreign stocks. And finally, others invest exclusively in the bond market. With so many options to choose from, you're certain to benefit from ETFs no matter what your investing/trading style!
Want to Learn More About ETFs?

To better acquaint our readers with how they can use such popular exchange-traded funds as QQQ and SPY to achieve tremendous returns, I asked one of the most experienced experts in the country -- technical analyst Steven Poser -- to develop a special course that would teach investors everything they need to know to get started investing and trading these unique securities.

Steven has done just that with his new course - The ETF Money Machine - Accumulating Huge Profits Through Steady Gains. Thanks to your status as a valued StreetAuthority.com web site visitor, we're pleased to let you know that this course can be yours at absolutely zero cost to you. All you need to do is simply request this course by filling out a short 30-second form on our web site.

Other ETF Information Sources...

We're also pleased to bring you a listing of some of the most useful exchange-traded fund (ETF) web sites on the Internet. Whether you're new to these unique instruments or you're already an expert, the following sites will give you all the information you'll need to determine which ETFs are right for your portfolio.

ETF Profiles From StreetAuthority.com -- Part of our complimentary educational archive on our web site (http://www.streetauthority.com/education.asp), here you'll find complete in-depth descriptions of every major exchange-traded fund on the market, including such heavily-traded funds as the Nasdaq-100 Trust (QQQ), S&P 500 SPDR (SPY), Dow Diamonds (DIA), S&P 400 MidCap (MDY) and the Nasdaq Biotech iShares (IBB), among others.

iShares -- Far and away one of the best ETF sites on the Internet, iShares allows you to sort through funds based on such important criteria as market cap, investment objective, sector, or national focus. In addition, the site gives specific information on the returns, holdings and fees charged by each fund. To get the most out of this web site, use the "Site Utilities" toolbar on the left-hand side of the page.

American Stock Exchange -- The American Stock Exchange is home to most ETFs and offers a good deal of information on each one. The site also features a powerful ETF screener. To jump directly to the site's exchange-traded fund content, select the "ETFs" link on the left-hand toolbar.

Morningstar -- This site contains current ETF market news and a variety of information on all different types of ETFs.

Nasdaq.com -- Along with general information, this web site serves up a listing of the day's most active ETFs, as well as the day's top advancers/decliners.

StreetTracks -- This site features profiles of roughly a dozen ETFs offered by State Street Global Advisors.

Merrill Lynch HOLDRs -- Here you'll find everything you could possibly want to know about Merrill Lynch stock bundles known as HOLDRs. The only drawback to these unique ETFs, however, is that they must be purchased in 100-share round lots, making some of them quite expensive for small investors. (FYI -- the HOLDRS name stands for "HOL"ding company "D"epositary "R"eceipt"S".)
