Dear Investor,

     The numbers are impressive, even by Wall Street standards.

     Investors poured $186 billion into the 270 new exchange-traded funds launched last year.  That's 23 new funds a month, five new ETFs a week, and roughly one per trading day. 

     So why should you care?

     Because no other vehicle on Wall Street is better suited to profiting from the three most powerful profit-trends at work in today's market.

     In this lousy market, ETFs are defying gravity.  In the first six months of 2008 the Dow plunged -7.22%.  Yet 88% of all ETFs beat the index.

     Over a longer period, from June 2007 to June 2008, the Dow fell -9%.  Yet 81% of all ETFs beat the Dow.  And 55% of those did a minimum of twice as well as the Dow.

     If you're ready to stake your own claim in this profit patch, you're in the right place. 

     Using StreetAuthority's world-class research tools -- including a $25,000-per-year special service available exclusively to financial professionals -- we've pinpointed three distinct ways ETFs can turn your portfolio into an income-generating, market-beating machine.

     My name is Paul Tracy, and I'm Chief Investment Strategist of The ETF Authority.

     I've been watching ETFs for nearly a decade . . . and have seen them mature into the investor's best choice to capture mouthwatering income and heady capital gains.

     Since the first ETF was introduced in 1993, this novel security has grown like kudzu.

     They started out as plain-vanilla vehicles designed to track the Dow and the S&P 500.  But over the past 15 years ETFs have blossomed into a wide-ranging universe of securities covering hundreds of exotic indexes, industry sectors, commodities and foreign markets.

     There are now 787 ETFs in the U.S.  Add in their 669 closed-end-fund cousins, and you have a total of 1,456 exchange-traded funds.  Together, they constitute 29% of the 4,974 names traded on the NYSE, Nasdaq and AMEX.  You are ignoring a huge pool of opportunities if you aren't looking to these unique vehicles.

     I've never understood how investors could chain themselves to common stocks, especially after seeing the high monthly income and triple-digit capital gains that await them with ETFs.  It's like shopping in one aisle of the supermarket for your entire life.  Your portfolio is bound to suffer from malnutrition.

     So I created The ETF Authority -- an entire newsletter dedicated to identifying the most profitable income, international and sector ETFs available today.

Three Best Ways to Profit with ETFs

The ETF Authority is the only service that gives you this unique "triple play":

1. You'll capture steady double-digit income ranging from 10-15%
   Because ETFs spread risk across numerous holdings, you can take on higher yield. And some kinds of ETFs are screaming bargains right now because of a situation you'll discover in a moment, so you can pick them up at their lowest prices in history.
   
   

2. You'll make capital gains as high as +129%, +157%, even +190% from booming sectors
   Pick the right sector and you can make profits like that without ever again having to guess which stock will do best.  One small sector of the natural resources market with just 28 stocks returned +57% in the first half of 2008.  The ETF tracked the sector perfectly with a +61% gain.
   
   

3. You'll tap into profits as high as +3,786% in the world's fastest-growing economies
   Did you know that many of the world's fastest growing stocks don't trade on U.S. exchanges? But certain ETFs are loaded with them, giving you the only way to load up on mega-profits like the stock that returned +3,786% in 2007!

     Let's look at each leg of this triple play in more depth, starting with the unusually high yields this unique asset class throws off . . .

     Income investors looking for a healthy dividend will find plenty to love about ETFs.  These funds are the unsung heroes of dividend investing.  And they offer remarkably fertile hunting grounds for yield-hungry investors.

     Nearly 1 out of 10 exchange-traded funds yields over 6%!  That's 137 of the 1,434 ETFs in the U.S. -- pretty impressive when you compare to common stocks: Less than 3 out of 100 actively traded common stocks in the U.S. yield above 6%.

Access Seven ETFs Yielding Up To 18.9%
Inside Our "High Income" Portfolio

     In The ETF Authority you'll find an entire portfolio of high-yielders... paying up to 18.9%! The table below gives you a snapshot of this portfolio -- including performance data for every single high-yield ETF we've added since November...

Want to Get Paid Monthly?

     Since your bills come in monthly, it's nice to have your income come in monthly too.

     The problem is, only 23 stocks on the major U.S. exchanges pay investors in monthly installments ... so your options are extremely limited. 

     But thanks to the introduction of this revolutionary asset class, ETFs offer you a whole new world of monthly income. An incredible 190 of these unique investment vehicles make monthly distributions. Do the math and you'll see that ETFs make up 90% of your monthly income options on the major exchanges!

     When you make the choice to invest in an ETF with a monthly dividend, you'll probably be surprised when your first check shows up so soon.  And you'll likely be surprised the next month, too, when another check arrives.  After the third month, you'll be spoiled -- you'll find it's easy to grow accustomed to this lucrative new source of passive income!

Dividends that Keep Growing and Growing . . .

     And it's not just more convenient to be paid monthly.  You actually earn more that way.  Thanks to compound interest, a fund paying out 1% monthly doesn't have a yield of 12%, but actually 12.68% -- a big difference over time!

     Plus, many of the best funds offer extremely stable -- and growing -- income.  A few of our favorites, which we've profiled in our "High Income" Portfolio in The ETF Authority, have seen their dividends surge up to +130% over the past three years!

     Limiting your portfolio to U.S. stocks is like keeping your television tuned to one channel -- you'll find something interesting now and then, but you'll miss out on so much more.

     Who could have guessed five years ago that the strongest stock market in the world would be Egypt -- up an astounding +1,588%?  Or that Ukraine would be up +1,572%, Peru up +1,031% . . . Brazil up +781% . . . Colombia up +743% . . . Bulgaria up +552% . . . Romania up +496% . . . Hong Kong up +435% . . . Norway up +434% . . . all while our own S&P 500 trailed far behind at just +83%?

     It's clear that smart investors are taking their heads out of the sand and positioning their money to profit from the new global economic order.

     While this was an expensive and difficult task in times past, ETFs now make it cheap and easy to flit from market to market, feasting on the upward swing of each -- without leaving the U.S. exchanges.

     These aren't the wish-washy, over-diversified "global" mutual funds that invest in so many countries at once that you're guaranteed a mediocre return. These are regional and country funds concentrated enough to give your portfolio a real boost as these areas of the world take off.

     Foreign-country ETFs have delivered the goods in a big way.  15 of the 20 best-performing ETFs of the past five years focus outside the U.S.

     And I think it's safe to say more big foreign gains lie ahead.  This year, in 2008, the estimated GDP growth in China is +10.0%, India +7.8%, Peru +7.7%, Russia +7.0%, Indonesia +6.1%, Argentina +6.2%, Venezuela +6.0%, Singapore +4.9% and Brazil +4.7%.  Meanwhile, the U.S. economy looks like it will creep up just +0.8% (if it even grows at all).

     We can't make a clearer or stronger case for picking up some foreign ETFs than that.  As a bonus, you'll find that many ETFs actually do better than the average stock in the countries they focus on:

=> An ETF that tracks Brazilian stocks is up +702% over the last five years, beating the overall Brazilian market by 366 percentage points.

=> An ETF that tracks Indian stocks has turned $10,000 into $111,000 over the past 10 years. The same $10,000 invested in Indian stocks in general would have grown to just $77,000.

=> An ETF that tracks 25 of the largest Chinese companies is up +191% over the past three years, outperforming the Hang Seng Index (+94%) by almost +100 percentage points.

     Our ETF Authority service features new international ETFs every month.  You'll find our latest picks in our "Global Growth" Portfolio.  One of our favorite holdings is an Asian fund -- it's up a remarkable +264% over the past five years.

     Now is also a perfect time to diversify your portfolio away from U.S. stocks.  Between the mortgage mess and the credit crisis . . . record oil prices and nagging inflation . . . the budget deficit and the trade gap . . . it all adds up to a pretty strong headwind for U.S. investors.  Fed Chairman Bernanke has said so himself.

     Thanks to ETFs, dozens of booming markets and fast-growing economies on the other side of the world are now just a mouse click away.

     From Singapore to Brazil to India, there's an ETF that lets you participate in the astounding global growth story just as easily as any investor on the ground in those countries.

      They give you fat yields . . . they make it a snap to profit from foreign markets . . . but ETFs have one more trait that make them a triple threat -- sector-focused investing.    

     During tough times for the market, focusing on winning sectors is often the only way to profit.

     If you're like most investors, over the past year your portfolio felt the brunt of the subprime crisis, rising oil prices, and the threat of inflation.  But if you're an ETF investor focused on the right sectors, your portfolio never looked better.

     Thanks to booming markets like agriculture and energy, many sector-based ETFs are sitting on triple-digit gains over the last year.  Coal, agriculture, oil, gold, industrial metals -- among many other groups -- have all delivered heady gains, as you can see from our chart.

     These returns aren't just a flash in the pan, either.  The steel sector has enjoyed +57% annualized returns for the past five years, while agrochemical has shot up +52% annualized.  Coal seems like a laggard compared to those winners -- it's only up +43% annually over the past five years.

     We all know certain industries and sectors rise above others, and now you can make money from that fact with ETFs.  These focused money-makers can help you zero in on industries as broad as oil, steel, and financials, all the way down to narrow niches like nuclear energy, gaming, and luxury goods.

     So no matter what happens to the overall market, you'll always have plenty of profitable investment choices at your fingertips.

     An obvious example these days is commodities.  This is shaping up as the best time in decades to invest in energy and other raw materials.  For the first time since the 1970s, virtually the entire world is growing.  So even with growth slowing here at home, the rapid growth of China, India and dozens of other nations from Eastern Europe to Latin America is increasing the strain on the supply of raw materials.

     China's blistering economy just clocked in at a mind-boggling +10% annual growth.  If China keeps growing at its current rate, in just five years it will need +61% more raw materials than it does today.  Growing economies mean one-way rising demand for natural resources. We all know rising demand leads to higher prices . . . and higher returns for the many ETFs focused on natural resources.

     Since the start of 2003, the mad global scramble for resources has run oil prices up +331%, gold up +166%, copper +422%, nickel +155% and steel +190%.

     In the last prolonged bull market in commodities, from 1969 to 1974, prices of some raw materials rose by over +1,000%.  And many stocks leveraged to raw commodities prices rose far higher.  The same thing will happen in this generation's commodity bull market . . . and ETFs are by far the easiest way to grab some of the profits.

     No wonder commodity ETFs are hopping.  One ETF index focused on the steel sector has soared +611% over the past five years!  Another -- this one focused on agriculture -- is up +454% over the same time . . . and of course energy-focused ETFs are also up sharply.  Over the past year, several oil-based ETFs are up over +100% (while, the lowly S&P 500 has actually lost -11% for investors).

     But we think the future is even brighter for alternative energy ETFs.  Even if oil prices pull back, government and businesses around the world will take steps to guard against the next oil shock.  And that means more alternative energy.

     Whether it's biomass, geothermal, solar energy, wind energy, wave power . . . we are going to use more of all of it in the years ahead.  It's such a no-brainer that even the politicians agree on it.  When is the last time you saw that?

     Obama and McCain are both pushing for greater spending on alternative energy . . . which is nothing but good news for alternative energy stocks.

     You've got the government on your side on this one.  Capitol Hill recently passed a bill mandating that 15% of electricity from private utilities be generated from solar, wind and other renewable sources by 2020.

     Right now, just 0.2% of our electric energy comes from alternative sources.  So a jump to 15% means +7,400% government-mandated growth.

     It's not just happening here.  Last year, European leaders signed a binding EU-wide target to source 20% of their energy needs from renewables such as biomass, hydro, wind and solar power by 2020.

     Governments around the world are providing subsidies, incentives and tax breaks to alternative energy.  And hundreds of energy companies are jumping on the green-power wagon, too.  GM says 50% of its vehicles won't run on gas within five years.

     Since this is a field littered with small start-ups and hard-to-find foreign companies, ETFs come in extremely handy here.  We just added one enticing alt-energy ETF to our "Sector Plays" Portfolio -- a new fund focused on wind power.  With wind power in the U.S. growing at a +45% clip last year, we think early investors may be sitting on a triple-digit winner.

     You'll get full details on this ETF the moment you join The ETF Authority.

ETFs Deliver Market-Crushing Returns

     We understand that some investors may be wary of taking the plunge into the exchange-traded fund world -- and we know our ETF Authority newsletter will not be for everyone.

     However, thanks to their market-crushing gains and rock-bottom expenses, ETFs offer savvy investors, hands-down, the best method for capturing steady double-digit income and gaining easy access to some of today's most promising sectors and foreign markets.

     And best of all, ETFs are generating sensational triple-digit total returns -- even in today's volatile market.

     Very few investors are aware of just how common +100%-plus returns are among ETFs.  But once you know where to look, capturing big gains is downright easy . . .

     As with any investment, the biggest gains are racked up over the long term.  But you don't have to hold on to an ETF forever to cash in.  Look at the profits ETF investors have made in the past year alone thanks to soaring energy prices:

     ETFs can make you a lot of money quickly, as you can see from these gains over the past three months.  Don't forget that during this time the vast majority of stock indexes, both here and abroad, were down sharply.

Introducing Our Own Rating System to Help You Find the Best ETFs

     ETFs give you the cheapest, smartest, and most convenient way to invest in every asset class under the sun . . . but they don't give you a crystal ball!

     So we've developed the next-best thing: the ETF Authority Composite Rating System.  This is our own creation and you won't find it anywhere else.

     We combine five technical and fundamental measures into this proprietary system, looking to uncover ETFs with the highest potential and lowest risk.  It's the only system that recommends ETFs based on how they will perform, not on how they did perform.

     We crunch the numbers on every ETF we review: performance and relative returns, fees and expenses, volatility and tax efficiency . . . and grade each one from A to F.

     Our Composite Rating System is just one of the unique benefits The ETF Authority brings to investors.

     We started this service because we saw a crying need to spread the word about the overwhelming benefits of exchange-traded funds.  Millions of investors that should be in these revolutionary vehicles are instead overpaying for substandard mutual funds or taking needless risks with individual stocks.

In Every Issue, ETF Secrets Few People Know

     Not all ETFs are created equal.  In The ETF Authority you'll also discover the differences between the families of ETFs.  Some are more explosive, others safer and more diversified.  For example, ETFs in the Barclay's iShares group are market weighted, which means their assets are concentrated in a few big-cap players.

     ETFs in the Powershares family are equal-weighted, spreading out assets among a big number of players.  Powershares are better for capturing growth across an entire sector.

     You'll learn a few ETF "shameful secrets" most investors will never catch on to.  Some ETFs have half their assets in one or two stocks.  That's not diversification.  You might as well just buy the stock.

     Take iShares MSCI Korea (EWY).  It's a decent way to play the Korean stock market, but you should be aware that one stock -- Samsung Electronics -- makes up almost a quarter of its value.

     Say you want to put some money into biotech.  Two of your choices are the Biotech HOLDRS (BBH) and iShares Nasdaq Biotech (IBB).  If you buy BBH, you've got 79% of your money in just three stocks (Genentech, Gilead and Affymetrix).  By contrast, IBB has just a quarter of its assets in its top three holdings.

     Select SPDR Energy (XLE) has about 40% of its money in just three stocks: Exxon Mobil, ChevronTexaco and ConocoPhillips.  Likewise with Pharmaceutical HOLDRS (PPH).  Pfizer, J&J and Merck make up 52% of its assets.

     We'll alert you to dangerously concentrated ETFs like these -- so you know what you're getting into before you buy in.  More importantly, we'll tell you about all the outstanding new ETFs that we're finding in all sorts of exciting niches of the market.  With a new ETF coming out every business day, you have an embarrassment of riches to choose from.

     We're constantly screening the fast-expanding ETF universe for the cheapest, best-constructed and best-run ETFs of the bunch.  When we find the right dividend, sector or foreign-growth play we add it to our portfolios and urge you to do the same.

     This quick peek into the fascinating world of ETFs is just a taste of what awaits in every issue of The ETF Authority.

The Alternative Energy Boom Obama-Injected Sources of Power... and ETF Profits Electricity. Most of us rely on it from the minute we wake up until the minute we go to bed. And it can be very easy to take for granted -- until the power goes out for one reason or another. For the most part, the electricity that lights our homes and keeps our televisions running is generated from fossil fuels like coal and natural gas. However, there is a global movement taking place to transition toward cleaner, renewable sources of power. Politicians have been touting the potential of alternative energy for decades, but President Obama is likely to do far more than talk. In this report, we focus on Obama's bold plans to invest $150 billion in the research and development of alternative energy pursuits, and his pledge to create five million new jobs in this field over the next 10 years. We'll also show you how you can use our top-rated ETFs to profit from the alternative energy sector.   Recession-Proof Cash Payouts High-Income ETFs Yielding Double-Digits Income junkies crave nothing more than a double-digit yield. The thought of all that cash steadily pouring into a portfolio month after month and quarter after quarter is enough to make most income investors leap for joy. And while many stocks pay nice dividends, thousands of income investors are missing out on an entire asset class with tremendously high yields. Adding these securities to your investment radar can more than double your opportunities for 10%-plus yields. The asset class? Exchange-traded funds, or ETFs. These days, investors can buy ETFs focused on any niche of the market. But some of the best opportunity lies with income-focused funds. In this report, we're seeing dramatic opportunities in funds focused on two areas: utilities and bonds. The market's dislocation has led to harsh sell-offs in these two arenas, and investors who act quickly can now pick up yields of 10%... 12%... even 19% with the picks we have discovered. Top Infrastructure ETFs Mega-Profits From Mega-Government Spending "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money." That quote, attributed to former Senator Everett Dirksen, serves as a good reminder of how easy it is to become numb to large numbers. In the investment community, barely a day goes by that we don't hear about a company reporting tens of millions in quarterly earnings or spending hundreds of millions on an acquisition. Even by Wall Street standards, $1,000,000,000,000 (or $1 trillion) is a mind-boggling sum. Consider this: 1 billion dollar bills stretched end-to-end would circle the globe four times and take around 32 years to spend at the rate of a dollar per second. And $1 trillion is a $1,000 billion, or enough to give about $150 to every man, woman and child on the planet. Why does all this matter? Because the United States has plans to deploy $2.2 trillion to bring its aging infrastructure up to date in the years ahead, and the global forecast calls for more than 10 times that amount. You can bet this mountain of cash won't be divvied up quite so democratically -- a handful of well-placed companies will see their coffers overflow. This unprecedented amount of government spending could well be the biggest investment boon of the decade... Read this report to find out how you can profit from our top infrastructure ETFs.   Rebound Sectors These ETFs Are Set to Catch Fire in 2nd-Half 2009 In the beginning, exchange-traded funds were constructed with a single purpose in mind: to provide a cost-efficient way to track the performance of the broader market averages. And for over a decade, they have fulfilled that mission with flying colors. But as the popularity of these inexpensive, easy-to-trade funds grew, so did their numbers. The handful of broad-market ETFs launched back in 1993 has skyrocketed to the over 750 ETFs available today -- in addition to nearly 700 closed-end funds -- covering hundreds of exotic indices, industry sectors, commodities and foreign markets. And the ETF phenomenon that started as means to mirror the market averages has ended up revolutionizing investors' access to explosive, outperforming gains. There is nothing wrong with simply matching the overall market; doing so will build tremendous wealth over time. However, those with more ambitious goals aren't looking to merely meet the market, but beat it. And this is where ETFs can truly provide an edge -- giving hands-on investors a way to exercise pinpoint control over their portfolio and target the most profitable market sectors. With the massive government spending taking place in 2009, a turnaround in late 2009 or early 2010 is likely. And since the market runs six to nine months ahead, some sectors will likely rally strongly mid-year. The key is to identify which sectors are positioned to profit the most from this rebound. With that in mind, today's report dives into four funds targeting specific sectors poised to vault out in front of the overall market in the second half of 2009 and beyond and how you can profit.
