Your Choice: Get Paid Monthly
Or Take The Money And Run

These Investment Vehicles Yield Up to 15.9% Or More And Can Pay You Monthly, Quarterly, or Annually

Or, Simply "Cash In" To Generate Up To +80.5% Gains In As Little As Seven Months Or Less

Dear Investor,

     They're called exchange-traded funds (ETFs) -- and there's no investment vehicle on Wall Street like them.  With these unique securities you can...

  1. Capture steady double-digit income ranging from 10-25%

  2. Make capital gains as high as +197% from booming sectors

  3. Tap into profits as high as +270% in the world's fastest-growing economies

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

     Read on and see how thousands of investors are making impressive capital gains while pocketing double-digit yields during one of Wall Street's most difficult times.  We'll also reveal the names of three ETFs we recommend buying today. Let's get started...

ETFs Are Ideal For Monthly Income

     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!

     To investors nearing retirement, this is a game-changer. The days of struggling to get monthly income from your investment portfolio are over. You can now receive a steady income stream simply by using our top-ranked ETFs.

Dividends that Keep Growing and Growing

     It's not just more convenient to be paid monthly... you actually earn more that way too.  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 the "High Income Portfolio" of our ETF Authority newsletter, have seen their dividends surge up to +130% over the past three years!

     Bottom line -- if you aren't using ETFs to capture a solid income stream, then you're missing out on the vast majority of today's most attractive double-digit income generators.

How to Capture Dividend Yields of 10%, 11% ... even 15% or More

     The table below includes performance data for ETFs we've added to our "High Income Portfolio" since November. Our highest-paying funds yield 10.6%, 11.3%, 11.9%, and even 15.9%!

Fund Name Add
Date		 Recent Price Yield Total %
Return		 ETF Comp. Score
Name reserved for subscribers 11/11/08 $11.57 15.9% +46.8%
Name reserved for subscribers 11/24/08 $10.94 11.3% +41.4%
Name reserved for subscribers 12/15/08 $10.56 10.6% +80.5%
Vanguard High Div. (VYM) 02/18/09 $32.16 4.5% +18.4%
Name reserved for subscribers 03/02/09 $16.78 6.4% +4.1%
Name reserved for subscribers 03/02/09 $5.05 11.9% +27.8%
Name reserved for subscribers 04/09/09 $6.25 4.6% +3.8%


 

 "Total % Return" figures include the impact of both capital gains AND the sum total of all dividends paid since the security was added to this portfolio.  Although we suggest you use our ETF Composite Scoring System as a guide, for performance tracking purposes we give all securities equal weight in this portfolio.

     We think all seven of these high-income ETFs are good "Buys" today.

     One of them is Vanguard High Dividend (VYM). To get the rest -- including our two strongest picks -- take The ETF Authority for a 90-day test drive.

     It's clear how pre-retirees and retirees take an instant liking to our top-rated income ETFs. They're often faced with this dilemma: "Should I keep cashing these monster dividend checks or should I take my +40-80%  capital gains and run?" Tough choice! We can't answer that for you but we will point you towards the best income ETFs on the market. You'll have to decide from there.  

     Not into income? Not a problem. There's plenty for growth investors to like too...

ETFs Give You Instant Access to Booming Foreign Markets

     ETFs offer one of the best ways -- and in some cases the ONLY way -- to capture the big gains being delivered by today's fast-growing foreign markets. 

     American investors couldn't touch these foreign markets a few years ago. But thanks to the introduction of several new internationally-focused ETFs, it's now easy to flit from market to market, feasting on the upward swing of each!

     And the best part is, you don't even have to leave the U.S. exchanges to capture these double-digit gains. In most cases, buying our top-rated ETFs are as easy as buying any other security listed on the NYSE or Dow.

     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. These ETFs let you invest in fast-growing foreign countries like China, Brazil, India, and Vietnam -- wherever there is rip-roaring growth that will turn into stock-market profits.

How to Generate Gains of +29%, +38% ... even +40% or More

     The table below includes performance data for every ETF we're holding in our "Global Growth Portfolio." These ETFs have already generated +29.3%, +38.0%, and even 40.1% since December!

Fund Name Add
Date		 Current Price Total %
Return		 ETF Comp. Score
Name reserved for subscribers 12/15/08 $17.49 +29.3%
Name reserved for subscribers 01/15/09 $36.64 +16.9%
Name reserved for subscribers 02/18/09 $22.04 +40.1%
Name reserved for subscribers 03/13/09 $5.59 +38.0%
China Fund (CHN) 04/28/09 $21.72 +26.8%
Name reserved for subscribers 04/28/09 $9.11 +27.4%

"Total % Return" figures include the impact of both capital gains AND the sum total of all dividends paid since the security was added to this portfolio. Although we suggest you use our ETF Composite Scoring System as a guide, for performance tracking purposes we give all securities equal weight in this portfolio.
   

     Even though all six of the foreign-focused ETFs we hold in this portfolio are up double-digits, they're all good "Buys" today.  

     One of them is China Fund (CHN). To get the rest -- including our three strongest picks -- take The ETF Authority for a 90-day test drive.     

     With returns like these just waiting to be plucked, it's no wonder ETFs are the fastest-growing vehicles on the planet right now. It's clear that smart investors are taking their heads out of the sand and positioning their money to profit from this new global economic order.

     Plain and simple, 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.

     And speaking of so much more.... hands down, ETFs offer the best way to profit from the planet's hottest sectors...

When Sectors Catch Fire,
So Can Your Portfolio!

     Instead of buying individual hit-or-miss stocks, or entering into dangerous futures contracts, smart investors such as yourself can buy a single ETF and watch your net worth rise as fast the price of a barrel of oil. (Or if oil's falling, "inverse" ETFs let you profit on the way down... and "ultra-inverse" ETFs let you double your profits!)

ETFs Make Buying Foreign
Stocks Easy Again

The paperwork nightmares of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act isn't the only thing scaring away foreign companies from listing their stocks on our exchanges. The U.S. is the most litigious country in the world.  Foreign companies listing here also have to reconcile their financial statements to U.S. GAAP standards -- an expensive exercise.  The world's largest IPOs are now being done with no public participation in the United States.  U.S. institutional investors privately buy some of the shares, but Joe Public has no chance to participate.

Many enticing foreign profit machines never bothered to register here to begin with.  In fact, only a fraction of the thousands of foreign companies generating jaw-dropping returns for their shareholders are listed on U.S. exchanges.

U.S. investors couldn't touch these stocks a few years ago.  But thanks to the introduction of several new foreign-focused ETFs, hundreds of money-making juggernauts are now finally within your grasp. These are the kinds of opportunities U.S. investors could only dream about a few short years ago.

     The profit potential from these red-hot sectors is enormous. We think eleven of these sector ETFs are good "Buys" today.

     One of them is Blue Chip Value (BLU). To get the rest -- including our seven strongest picks -- take The ETF Authority for a 90-day test drive.

     Of course we don't just focus on sector funds that have generated great returns in the past.  At The ETF Authority we're always forward looking and on the hunt for the next big sector play. To make sure you don't miss out on our next hot sector play, take The ETF Authority for a 90-day test drive.

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 1 to 5.

     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.

Have Money In Mutual Funds?
Here's Why You May Want to Reconsider...

ETFs beat out traditional mutual funds in so many ways that it's hard to know where to start.  Everything a mutual fund can do an ETF can do better.  Here's what we mean:

They're dirt-cheap.  While the typical actively managed mutual fund hits you up for 1.47% a year,  ETFs average just 0.32% in expenses.  This can make a huge in-your-wallet difference, especially when you're dealing with large dollar amounts.

They're tax-smart.  Since ETFs don't have to worry about investor redemptions, they typically have  much lower turnover than actively managed mutual funds.  Even better yet, dozens of ETFs specialize in tax reduction.  One ETF we've been tracking invests all around the world, but makes it a point to pay out only "qualified" dividends -- those eligible for the reduced 15% tax rate.  Over the past few years, 100% of the dividends paid by this fund were taxed at the lower rate.  Sorry, Uncle Sam!

They're perfectly transparent.  When you buy an ETF you always know exactly what you own.  Their holdings are usually fixed and clearly listed when you buy in.  And you won't find any of the bothersome restrictions of mutual funds, like 2% redemption penalties or finding their doors shut from  time to time.

Mutual fund managers have lousy records.  Despite the millions of dollars (of shareholders' money!) that they spend tooting their own horns, the mutual fund industry has failed investors miserably.  Even during the unrelenting bull market of the 1990s, nearly 90% of stock fund managers failed to keep up with their unmanaged benchmarks.  In other words, nine out of ten managers actually cost their clients money.  A chimp throwing darts at the financial pages could have beat these overpaid herd followers.  No wonder so many investors are firing their mutual fund managers and turning to ETFs for better returns.

     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.

The Alternative Energy Boom
Obama-Injected Sources of Power... and ETF Profits

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
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

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

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-to-late-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.
