The Country the Size of Colorado Where Dividends Average 8.4%... and Where Americans
Get a 15% Bonus!

This island nation is home to more double-digit yielders than anywhere in the world... with stocks yielding up to 21.9%

Dear StreetAuthority Investor,

     It's not even the size of Colorado, but it's home to a higher percentage of double-digit yielders than any other country on earth.

     Half the stocks in this yield-hunter's paradise pay a dividend. And almost half of those payers sport double-digit yields... reaching all the way up to 21.9%.

     Why the generosity?

     Call it a severe case of attention-getting. You see, we're talking about a remote island nation far off the radar screen of most investors: New Zealand.

     Companies that far away from the world's financial centers need to do something unusual to attract foreign investors. Paying a gaudy dividend is one sure way to get noticed.

     While U.S. shares pay a puny 3.1%, the average dividend in New Zealand is 8.4%! And there are plenty of Kiwi blue chips throwing off 9%, 10%, 11% and more!

You're Not from New Zealand? Your Dividends are Even Bigger!

     These high-yielding New Zealand stocks are an even better deal than they appear... because you'll actually get a 15% bonus payment (assuming you don't live in New Zealand). That brings your 8.4% average dividend up to 9.7%!

      It's all because local New Zealand investors get tax credits to compensate for the tax they pay on dividends. (It's a move by the government to support domestic industry.) But overseas investors can't use these credits. So most New Zealand companies pay higher dividends to overseas investors than to local ones. Where else can you find companies that pay you extra just because you're a foreigner?

The Land Of Milk... and Money

     Over the past 10 years, the New Zealand Stock Market has surged +94%. And the strengthening "Kiwi" dollar brings the gains for American investors up to +131%. That's a heckuva a lot better than watching your money shrink by -16% as it did in U.S. stocks over those 10 years.

     Is the party over in New Zealand?
    
     Our prediction: The best is yet to come.

     Long-term global population pressures are strongly bullish for this naturally rich nation.

     New Zealand single-handedly accounts for one-third of the world's dairy trade... and the global rise in the price of milk is showering windfall profits on the nation's dairy farmers. New Zealand's biggest dairy operation hiked its 2008 payout by +27% over 2007. The money is flowing like milk, first to New farmers and then into the country's stock market.

     New Zealand is also a huge meat exporter and stands to benefit from growing prosperity in Asia. Meat sales to Asia will rise significantly in the coming years as the growing middle class demands more protein -- a proven trend that accompanies growing wealth in every society.

The Perfect Trifecta

     The New Zealand phenomenon is a perfect example of the mantra we repeat in every issue of High-Yield International:

     If you want to get paid, you've got to pack your bags.

     Because you're not getting squat from U.S. stocks. Of all the world's major stock markets, the U.S. ranks dead last in dividend yield (not counting moribund Japan). Less than 10% of US stocks pay a dividend at all. And the median yield of those that do is just 3.1%.

     Travel overseas and you'll find high yields, strong growth and cheap valuations. This is exactly the trifecta that we shoot for in High-Yield International.

     Running the show is Carla Pasternak. Carla has been the most widely followed dividend hunter in North America for the past five years. Now she's going global, taking the reins of High-Yield International, and using her skills to dig up income-investing treasure from around the world.

Brazil: Rewriting the
Investment Map

     The standard map of the world shows Brazil about the same size as Alaska. That's a distortion of the Mercator Projection. It's actually six times bigger.

     In fact, Brazil is almost the size of the United States. It's by far the largest nation in South America, and its $1.8 trillion economy ranks 10th in the world. That's larger than Russia's, India's, Australia's or Mexico's.

     After emerging from the global crash with barely a scratch, Brazil is on track to resume its rapid economic expansion at a +4.1% annual clip through 2012. The U.S. will be lucky to grow half that fast.

     Good things happen to investors in markets where economic growth is strong.
Over the past five years, Brazil's benchmark Bovespa Index has returned +296.0% to U.S. investors.

     India and China couldn't keep pace. The Bombay 500 Index rose +172.3% during this same time period. Meanwhile, the Shanghai benchmark index was up +123.2%.
Brazil beat them both -- hands down.

How a Grandfather's Gift to a 10-Year Old Girl Sparked a Lifelong Passion for Investing 

In assuming the helm of the global yield-hunting service High-Yield International, Carla Pasternak is taking on a job she has prepared for all her life. This Brooklyn-born Calgary resident may have earned a wall full of advanced degrees, but her most important investment lesson in life came to her as a little girl.

"For my 10th birthday present, my grandfather, who built a small fortune buying and selling New York apartment houses in the 1920s and 30s, decided I was old enough to learn about the stock market. He bought me 10 shares of AT&T to mark my 10 years of life on earth. They probably would be worth a fortune now, what with the splits and takeovers, but I was only too happy to sell them about a year later, so I could buy my first bicycle. I realized early on that the right investment could change your life. Thank you AT&T!"

For Carla, investing has always been a family affair. Her grandmother was a stock picker too. She put aside some of the money her grandfather gave her to run the household and invested in the market. As Carla explains, "She would shop at Macy's, and see that it was always busy with satisfied customers. Then she would say, 'I want to own a piece of this outfit.' She never went past high school, but her stock-picking strategies weren't much different than those later advocated by legendary 10-bagger Peter Lynch."

The stocks her grandparents picked are still part of Carla's life. Her mother inherited them, and Carla now manages the portfolio. This money is a family heritage and Carla is determined to preserve her family's legacy assets. That's why she puts so much painstaking research into every investment idea, looking at where the income is coming from, how secure it appears to be, and what the total return could look like down the road.

Her mother lives off her portfolio income so when Carla tells her subscribers that she's found a stock safe enough for her retiree  mother, she means it. It's her own mother's money on the line, not just hers, and not just yours.

With her litany of advanced degrees (BA, MA, MBA and Ph.D.) Carla could have done a lot of things -- and she has. Before joining StreetAuthority in 2004, Carla founded an investor relations agency. She wrote annual reports for public companies in her adopted hometown of Calgary. She worked face-to-face with the CEOs of many junior oil and gas producers that have grown into major Canadian income trusts, such as Penn West Energy.

She still gets a kick out of poring over the notes to the financial statements and teasing out where the money came to pay the dividend. She keeps in contact with the large crowd of Calgary-based executives and knows the numbers of these high-yielding energy trusts as well as the CFOs themselves.

Carla also taught college business courses for many years at Mount Royal College in Calgary. But her professor days are over, at least for now. "I've decided to give up teaching, because my newsletters are occupying so much of my time and energy. I figure I'm teaching subscribers how to find safe high-yielding companies that are strong enough to deliver capital gains, too, so I'm still teaching in a way."

Judging by the record 100,000+ subscribers who sign up for her "class" every year -- and faithfully "reenroll" with their renewals -- their teacher has a knack for the job.

 

 

Capturing Double-Digit Yields in Brazil

     I love capital gains as much as the next guy. But if you're an income investor, growth alone isn't enough. You want to lock in steady growth and a high dividend stream.

     Only 41 out of 473 companies in Brazil pay dividends higher than 7%. But of those, the average yield is an impressive 11.6%! And although these companies are household names in Brazil, few Americans even know they exist.

     But our High-Yield International readers sure do. In recent months, editor Carla Pasternak has uncovered Brazilian stocks with dividend yields of 7.5%, 8.7% and 9.4%. But in High-Yield International she sets her standards a little higher. After two weeks of research, Carla recently discovered a fast-growing Brazilian telecommunications company with a 22.3% yield.

     This well-positioned company is centered in Brazil's most affluent state, Sao Paulo. Residential and business customers in this market are heavy telecom users. And the telecom industry is a cash cow -- the company has paid $2.8 billion to its shareholders in the past two years. It's also moving into broadband, and thanks to its success in this market, its fat dividend payouts should continue for years to come.

     Here's why serious income investors should consider buying this cash cow immediately:

     Strong Yield -- In the past 12 months, this stock has paid $3.54 per share in dividends, giving it a yield of 22.3%.

     Price Appreciation -- The shares are downright cheap, trading at ten times estimated earnings. If the stock reverts to historic valuation levels, investors could enjoy total returns of +30% or more during the next 12 months.

     Currency Advantage -- Shareholders receive dividends in dollars, but the payout is established in Brazilian reals. When the real gains strength, it buys more dollars, leading to bigger dividend checks for U.S. investors. (The real is already up +16.1% vs. the dollar since Jan. 1st.)

     Fat yields . . . rising prices . . . currency gains. This is the trifecta of international investing. When you join Carla's exclusive roster of income investors, this is the sort of market intelligence that you'll have at your fingertips.

     Carla and her research staff have never misjudged Brazil's size or its importance. Readers who ventured into Brazil all the way back in 2004 based on her initial recommendations have profited handsomely.

     Her 22.3% yielder, is just one of five Brazilian stocks you'll find in her portfolios. Join High-Yield International now and you'll discover two dozen or so winning combinations of high yields, price appreciation and strong currency benefits. This select basket of international powerhouses is not only growing at a fast clip, but is loaded with double-digit dividend payers.

What Is Carla Finding Right Now?

     Carla just released her premiere issue of High-Yield International a few days ago.
I want to give you an idea of what she brings to her readers every month, so here's a peek at a few of the picks in her first issue...

    
A fast-growing Brazilian telecom company in Brazil's most affluent state, Sao Paulo with a 22.3% yield. Its telecom industry is a cash cow -- the company has paid $2.8 billion to its shareholders in the past two years. It's also moving into broadband, and thanks to its success in this market, its fat dividend payouts should continue for years to come. (This 22.3% yielder, is just one of five Brazilian stocks you'll find in her portfolio.)

    
A $3 Taiwanese tech stock with no debt and $1.09 per share in cash, making your real cost just $2. Trading at a P/E below 9 -- way too low for a company expected to grow +13% annually over the next five years -- this is a bargain that's hard to pass up. The kicker is that it pays an 11% dividend.

    
A closed-end fund that buys dividend-paying stocks all over the world. It focuses on market caps of $1 billion and up, yielding at least 3%. Since inception in March 2005, the fund has paid distributions every month without fail. Right now it gives you a whopping 15.4% yield.

     A London-based oil giant committed to maintaining a high dividend -- it's raised it an average of +15% per year for the past five years. Its 6.6% yield, huge cash reserves and strong fundamentals give income investors an excellent way to participate in the oil recovery.

     You'll also see a rare Mexican monopoly yielding 13.4%... a German preferred stock with a virtually untouchable 9.7% yield... and Carla's 10 "Star-Performers" yielding an average of 11.7% that have returned more than +21% so far this year. You'll receive all of these picks immediately when you subscribe.

     Fat yields . . . rising prices . . . currency gains. This is the trifecta of international investing. When you join Carla's exclusive roster of income investors, this is the sort of market intelligence that you'll have at your fingertips.
 

Going Foreign: Your Most Obvious Money Move Today...

     U.S. stocks have had a nice run since March -- but nothing compared to other markets around the world. 166 U.S. stocks have doubled in price so far this year. But 4,191 foreign equities have done the same.

      Why keep your money in U.S. stocks paying 3.1% in a shrinking economy... when you can buy stocks yielding up to 19.0% in countries that are growing 5%, 6% and 7% a year? (That 19.0% payer is in High-Yield International right now!)

     In the next year, China is projected to grow +7.5%... India, +5.6%... Indonesia, +5.1%... and South Korea, +4.2%. The U.S. projected growth rate? Zero.

     While the U.S. is stuck in neutral, Carla can help you put your money to work in places enjoying strong growth -- and where corporations are increasing their earnings. And talk about yields! These markets are an income investor's dream.

     And foreign stocks are moving strongly. 4,191 foreign equities have doubled in price this year. (Only 166 U.S. stocks have done the same.)

     Now you can see why I'm so pumped up that Carla is turning her income-investing expertise overseas... and taking the reins of High-Yield International.

     Carla's three highest-yielding foreign picks in her newsletter portfolio right now are set to pay their owners 14.2%, 15.8%, and 18.8% over the next 12 months -- even if their share price doesn't move a penny. For every $100,000 in your portfolio, you could receive $18,800 in income a year -- in addition to any capital gains you might make.   



Escape the Cash-Flow Desert

     It's a cash-flow desert here in America for anyone who needs to bank an income off their portfolio. The average U.S. stock pays just 3.1%. (We now have the stingiest stock market in the world, apart from Japan's.)

     While you can find the occasional high-yielding stock, odds are that anything paying above say, 15%, is a basket case. In fact, once you weed out the money losers, only 15 stocks in the entire United States pay more than 15%.

     Just 15 lonely survivors. But guess what? Expand your horizon a bit and it's a completely different story.

     Right now, there are actually 311 profitable companies yielding more than 15% -- they just don't happen to be in the U.S.

     15 here versus 311 abroad -- where do you think the best hunting ground is for a yield-hungry investor?

     95% of the jaw-dropping yields these days are abroad. Meanwhile, the dollar is weakening, boosting the value of those dividends month after month.

     Now do you see why I'm so excited that Carla has agreed to serve up her best foreign findings in High-Yield International?

The Best Thing About the Market Crash

Foreign stocks have always yielded more than U.S. stocks. But now, because many of these markets have been hit even harder than our own, the difference is night and day.

That's the silver lining of the global stock crash. Your "paycheck" for owning foreign dividend payers is easily double or triple what it was before stocks took their bear market tumble. And remember, many of these foreign economies are doing just fine.

A year ago, the Dutch oil company Shell, was yielding just 3.7%. Now it's paying 6.2% and it's hiked its dividend by +5%.

DHT Maritime out of the Marshall Islands, was paying 9.1% a year ago. Now it's paying 18.3%. That's $18,300 on each $100,000 you invest now.

It's the same story repeated around the world. Put $100,000 into the massive global electric utility Endesa right now, and you're locking in an annual payment of $15,350 per year. A year ago, you would have gotten just $5,900.

Do the same in Australian airline Qantas and you'll get paid $15,800 per year -- up from $9,900 a year ago.

Singapore shipping firm FSLT will pay you $27,400 on your $100,000 investment, up from $7,400 a year ago. Same story with Australian Macquarie International Infrastructure Fund. You can now get $19,900, up from $9,900 last year.

Our Portfolios Are Already Surging

     Look at the profits High-Yield International subscribers have seen in just the past few months. We bought these stocks between last November and this March, right in the teeth of the worst bear market we've seen since the crash of 1929. Yet as lousy as the market has been for most investors, our picks are solidly ahead:

Company Total Return Yield
(At Purchase)
Current Yield Bought
Indonesian Telecom +32.9% 9.2% 5.5% 11/08
Brazilian Bottler +43.0% 7.7% 4.7% 12/08
Chilean Brewer +25.4% 7.1% 3.7% 12/08
U.K. Miner +89.8% 6.1% 3.4% 1/09
French Construction Co.  +19.8% 11.6% 10.4% 12/08
Brazilian Telecom +28.1% 26.2% 9.0% 3/09
Global Income Fund +40.1% 17.1% 9.7% 3/09

       If we're bagging gains like this before the global recovery has hardly even begun, imagine the sort of returns we'll make when the world starts humming again! And with Carla now throwing her skills into the mix, the future looks even better for anyone who joins High-Yield International today.

If You Want High Yields You Have to Go Overseas...

     If you want truly high yields, you need to look overseas. You have no choice, because that's where they are. That's the basic premise of High-Yield International. If that weren't true, there's no way I would have gone to the trouble and expense of starting this service. It wouldn't even exist.
    
     While U.S. shares pay a puny 3.1%, the average stock in New Zealand yields 6.5%! And there are plenty of Kiwi blue chips throwing off 10% and more!

     Check out the nearby chart and you'll see how much more other markets yield. And I'm not even including a dozen other smaller markets that are also paying more than the U.S.

     Poland, for example, yields 3.9%. Singapore yields 4.3%... Greece, 3.3%... and Holland, 5.1%.. And remember, those are just the averages, weighted down by large numbers of stocks that don't yield a cent.

 

Dividend Yields of Major Stock Indices

The average dividend yield of the S&P 500 today is just 3.1%. That's peanuts compared to yields in other developed nations...

Australia 5.6%
Brazil 3.5%
Canada 3.5%
France 4.9%
Germany 5.0%
Hong Kong 3.9%
Italy 3.7%
New Zealand 6.5%
Portugal 3.9%
South Africa 3.8%
Spain 6.2%
Sweden 3.6%
Taiwan 5.6%
U.K. 5.1%
U.S. 3.1%

You Get Better Growth, Too!

     Going abroad isn't just about dividends. Most foreign economies are growing faster than ours, too. Simple logic dictates that their stocks will grow faster, too.

     Just as the recession hit the world unevenly, the next wave of growth will also be uneven. But one thing is clear: When the global economy starts to rebound in earnest in coming months, developing nations -- not the United States or Europe -- will be the engines driving that growth. Here are the estimated 2010 growth rates for the world's major economic regions...

Projected Growth for 2010

China 7.5%
India 5.6%
Indonesia 5.1%
South Korea 4.2%
Philippines 4.1%
Middle East 3.5%
Australia 2.5%
Brazil 2.2%
Canada 1.2%
Euro area 0.4%
United States 0.0%

     While the U.S. is stuck in neutral, you can put your money to work in places enjoying strong growth -- and where corporations are increasing their earnings.

     This is where stock prices and dividend payments will rise fastest and soonest.

      Where specifically is Carla urging her readers to get positioned now? Let's look at a few off-the-beaten-path picks that you won't find in a typical newsletter...


Dial Up This Czech Phone Monopoly Yielding 15.3%

     The Czech Republic offers huge investment potential as its economy plays catch up to the West, which surged ahead during the Cold War. With a well-educated and low-cost labor force (-30% to -50% cheaper than in western Europe), great natural resources and a strong industrial base, Eastern European countries in general are in an advantageous position.

     But the region has been hit hard by the global recession. Partly because Russia's once-soaring economy has stalled due to plunging oil prices -- but also because demand from Western Europe has fallen.

     Not surprisingly, Eastern European stock markets have plunged. The Czech Stock Exchange and the Hungarian Stock Exchange are down -44% and -46% since last August.

     As evidence that a little sunlight is on the horizon, Eastern European markets have rallied nicely over the past month after the European Union pledged to help non-EU countries like the Czech Republic.

     Our favorite way to play this resurgence is with the dominant phone company in the Czech Republic. It boasts the country's core local-phone service, as well as wireless, long-distance and Internet. Thanks to strong growth in wireless the company has held its own despite the economic slowdown. In fact, its overall revenue rose +4.2% in the latest quarter.

     The company is throwing off so much cash that it is yielding 15.3%. With a yield like that, and appreciation potential to boot, this is a rare Eastern European stock worth buying even months before a turnaround in those markets.

The $2,000 Car that Could Take India By Storm

     India is one of those countries that the global recession barely touched.

     Before the recession started, India was growing +7.5% a year. This year, with the recession in full swing, India's GDP is still expected to expand by +4.5%. Next year it will be +5.6%.

     With a huge supply of cheap and educated workers, India is an ideal outsourcing destination. The recession has actually made India even more attractive for foreign companies looking to save costs.

     On top of that, India is rapidly pulling itself out of poverty. Most Indians still lack basic products and services. For example, 600 million Indians don't even have electricity. That practically guarantees the government will be investing heavily in infrastructure for decades to come, and creating new and better-paying jobs.

     This is why India is one of the few places where it makes sense to invest in the auto industry.

     In fact, at the same time that Chrysler filed for bankruptcy, an Indian car maker we recommended saw its share price more than double! Over the next few years, as the recovery takes place and millions of Indians buy their first cars, the profits could be staggering.

     This rapidly growing car maker is virtually unknown outside of India, yet it's already snuck into the #5 worldwide position. Bolstered by its dominant share of the Indian car, truck and bus market, it has boomed along with the India economy over the past decade.

     This entrepreneurial company is about to launch the most-affordable vehicle in the world: a $2,000 car. There is no way for Ford or Toyota to compete with that. It goes on sale this month, and I bet we'll see huge sales as millions of Indians eager for their first car will finally be able to afford one.

     And talk about room for growth! India has only eight cars for every 1,000 people. The United States has 478 cars per thousand.

     Compared to other auto makers, it has dirt cheap labor costs. This is no General Motors, whose cost structure made it tough to turn a profit even in good years.

     Like just about every other stock in the world, its share price is well off its highs. But investors are clearly warming up to the company. Its share price has nearly doubled over the past month. It now yields 5.3%. Not a fortune, but a lot better than the typical U.S. stock, and with a heckuva lot more upside.


Grab This Chinese
Play Paying 11.8%

     As much as we like India, we're even more excited about the prospects for China. China has an even larger pool of cheap labor to draw upon than India. Millions of Chinese farmers are migrating to the city each year. The Chinese government knows it must provide jobs to these workers to keep them happy. Fortunately, it has the financial strength to do so.

     The stimulus package China announced this year amounted to $586 billion. That may seem small compared to what the U.S. is spending, but the Chinese economy is smaller. In fact, the Chinese package adds up to 18% of the country's GDP. That's the equivalent of more than $2.5 trillion in U.S. terms!

     Moreover, much of the Chinese package will be spent on infrastructure -- power plants, railroads, airports, housing and water systems. That means not just a lot of new jobs, but an avalanche of profits for investors.

     This rapid growth is one reason we invested in one of China's leading energy companies last year. Despite the market crash, the stock is already up 21%. Our favorite way to invest in China right now is with an ETF full of companies that will profit indirectly from China's growth. It has outperformed its rivals in both up and down markets. We expect it to produce substantial gains over the next few years as China's growth rate rises. (As a bonus, this fund comes with a dividend yield of 11.8% -- almost four times the yield of the S&P).

Safety First: How Carla Avoids High-Yielding Dogs

     High-Yield International is the only periodical devoted exclusively to helping you make money with high-yielding foreign securities.

     Nowhere will you find a more thorough ranking of your foreign income-investment options than in this monthly investment bulletin.

     Join us and you'll be part of a growing band of investment adventurers who share a love for reliable investments delivering hefty income and strong capital gains.

     One more thing -- it's important: Carla invests in quality securities -- NOT in high-yield junk.

     She is not naive about the dangers that can lurk behind outlandishly high yields.
To make sure your dividend is SAFE, she puts every stock, bond and mutual fund through a unique analytical boot camp. She calls it her "Dividend Optimizer."

     Her model identifies securities with safe and lasting income streams. It then ranks them from best to worst based on her unique scoring system. No one else has this proprietary ranking mechanism.

     Here are a few things Carla needs to see before she even thinks about recommending an investment to you:
 
A long track record of improving earnings. The longer a firm has been profitable, the more likely it is to deliver steady returns in the coming years.

A history of consistent and growing dividend payments. Carla wants to see steadily increasing dividends with no declines or missed payments.

Strong cash flows. Since you can't pay dividends without cash, we need to find companies that are generating above-average amounts of cash each and every year.
 
Strong projected growth. Growing firms are more likely to be able to boost their dividends in the future.

A sustainable payout ratio. Firms occasionally pay out 100% or more of their earnings to shareholders. They can't do this for long without cutting their dividend. She avoids firms that are skating too close to the edge.

     If we can't verify the numbers to our own comfort level, we take a pass. Instead of swinging wildly for the fences, we prefer to stand calmly at home plate, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to swing. There's no hurry, because the umpire can never call us out. We simply wait as long as we want for the ideal pitch to float across the plate.

Join Us and Profit from the World's Most
Powerful Investment Force

     Whether you're investing in Zanzibar or on the NYSE, you're making a currency bet.

     An appreciating foreign currency gives even the stodgiest foreign stock a wonderful "tail wind," pushing the dollar value of your investment ever upward -- even if its price in local currency doesn't move a bit.

     Get the currency right and you've already won half the battle. If you can get into a country when its currency is 200 units to the dollar and get out when it's 100 to the dollar, you've already doubled your money. And that's on top of any capital gain on the stock, or interest on the bond.

     Look at the gains racked up by U.S. dollar investors over a recent five-year stretch:

Global Stock Markets Head-to-Head
5-Year Total Returns (Mar. 2003 - Mar. 2008)

Country What Local Investors Earned What U.S. Investors Earned
Brazil +518% +1,203%
Norway +287% +456%
Poland +230% +499%
Australia +160% +301%
Germany +165% +273%
Philippines +180% +268%
Spain +109% +209%
Singapore +133% +198%
New Zealand +92% +176%
Netherlands +55% +129%
Italy +37% +103%
United States +48% +48%

     Take Australia, for example. You could have bought any Australian stock, and with the currency doubling against the dollar, you would have had an extra 141% in your pocket -- on top of whatever the stock returned. The +160% return of Australia's All Ordinaries Index became a +301% gain for U.S. investors.

     Almost the exact same thing happened in New Zealand. Over those five years, stocks soared +92% there. But American investors gained +176% because of the currency.

     In Germany, stocks rose +165% in euros, but in dollar terms they were up +273%.

     It goes on and on around the world. In Great Britain, stocks rose +94% for British investors, but +145% for their U.S. counterparts.

     In Brazil, the currency effect was like rocket fuel. Local investors saw their shares soar +518%... but in dollar terms Brazilian stocks gained an eye-popping +1,203%.

Finally -- A Chance to Live Off Your Portfolio Income Again

     We haven't had the chance to lock in 20% yields here in the U.S. since 1980. And back then, it was 20-year bonds, not stocks that offered those payouts. That was a Golden Age for income investors. Many people who had accumulated decent savings could live comfortably for the rest of their lives off their interest and dividends.

     You have the same opportunity today with the global cash cows we are finding right now. For example, not long ago we found a Canadian firm in an industry that's practically immune to the global recession. (It operates funeral homes throughout North America.) The company had been growing its earnings steadily and, thanks to the sell-off, you could have picked up the stock at a price that let you lock in a dividend yield of 20.1%!

Take a Peek at Our Portfolios Here

     In each monthly issue of High-Yield International, you'll find several dozen profitable companies with superior dividend yields, painstakingly culled from more than 25,000 choices around the world. (Only a third of the world's 77,000 publicly traded stocks have positive earnings, and you can bet Carla isn't looking at the money-losers.)

     Carla tracks the best she can find in two portfolios which you can use just as if they were your own. Here's a partial look at both portfolios right now, to give you a taste of where we're putting our money today.

     High-Yield International's "Reliable Income" Portfolio gives you a solid foundation of stable high-income foreign stocks, preferred securities and funds. These stocks form the basis of a conservative investment plan that can see you safely and profitably through any market turmoil.

What You'll Get When You Join Us

     High-Yield International is a web-based newsletter that you can access the instant Carla releases each monthly issue. You can then easily print out the issue from your computer if you wish.

     You'll never have to wait for your issue by snail mail because as soon as we dot the last "i", we'll e-mail you the complete issue.

     Even better, you don't have to log on to a web site and fumble around with a password. The issue goes straight to your email inbox. That way, you can read it wherever you happen to be -- at work, at home, or on the road. In addition, you can access the complete issue anytime on our members-only website. And this site gives you many more useful tools, including FREE access to our Issue Archives. Here you can find detailed research and updates on Carla's portfolio picks -- and many others besides -- that were introduced in our back issues.

     You'll also get Mid-Month Updates to keep you informed of any breaking market events or opportunities. This is not a skimpy bulletin, but a solid overview of the global high-yield scene, with specific buy/sell/hold advice on every position in both her portfolios.

     In addition to your monthly issues and mid-month updates, we'll alert you by email whenever there's breaking news on one of her holdings.

  In every issue you'll also get:

Global Focus: Here Carla will focus on a particular country or region of the globe. It's a unique level of analysis that you won't find in any other advisory service.  High-Yield International readers last stopped in Brazil, where stocks rose more than 500% in five years. Thanks to Brazil's appreciating currency, U.S. investors were up more than 1200%! We found an ultra-safe way to tap into the Brazilian boom via an electric utility paying 11.4%.

International High-Yielder of the Month: Most of our readers turn here first. It's an in-depth profile of an especially attractive company, fund, trust (or perhaps an exotic security you've never even heard of before) that Carla is adding to one of her portfolios immediately. The most recent find was a closed-end fund with a unique dividend-capture strategy that is yielding 12.4%.

Foreign Income Plays: A detailed look at a timely industry or sector that's firing on all cylinders -- and the best way to play it abroad while pocketing instant high yields.

Undiscovered Markets: Carla loves digging up high-yielding gems in off-the-beaten-path countries like Vietnam, South Africa, Turkey and New Zealand. These nations are posting surprisingly strong economic growth. Nothing is more satisfying than finding the next big trend ahead of the crowd, getting in early, and watching it soar. We revealed an unusual monopoly guaranteed by the Mexican government yielding 12.5%.

High-Yield International's Reliable Income Portfolio of foreign common stocks, preferred stocks, mutual funds and ETFs with highly dependable yields... and downside-risk protection. These stable, growing cash cows have long track records and strong future prospects. You can count on them to deliver premium income year-in and year-out.

A more aggressive Ultra-High-Yield Portfolio of securities with breathtaking yields of up to 18.8%. Granted they come with downside risk -- but here's where you'll find some of the highest-yielding investment ideas on the planet. Everything in here offers an annual income stream of 10% or greater.

Portfolio Review: News and updates on portfolio holdings, including current advice... plus a look ahead at one or two new companies we're looking at for possible purchase.

Look at What Else You Get...

     You'll also get a package of special reports Carla has prepared especially for new subscribers. Here's a peek at the three you get with a one-year subscription:

The Best Way to Global Profits
Don't give up on your dream stock just because it only trades abroad. This report shows you cheap and easy ways to add the foreign income machines we're finding to your portfolio. It compares all your options head to head. And your commission rates range from low to shockingly low. Take a few minutes today to open an account with one of our customer-friendly favorites and you can be trading on the foreign markets tomorrow.
High-Yield Global Funds for Dividend Lovers
This report gives you several diversified exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that give you all the benefits of global high-yield investing without having to constantly monitor or trade your investments. If you want a simple path to higher income, this is the ticket.
High-Powered Asian Cash Cows
Most Asian stocks don't yield much, but the few that do are showering investors with unbelievable dividends. Like the Taiwanese technology stock that most Western investors are missing out on. It is the world's largest tester of semiconductors -- the "chips" that power personal computers, wireless handsets and almost every other electronic device. Its customers include Texas Instruments, IBM, Sony, Toshiba, Ericsson and Qualcomm. Yielding 10.0%, it's a great play on the strengthening ties between Taiwan and China and economic growth in Asia as a whole.

Come on board for two years and I'll send you these three additional reports:

Monthly Money: High-Yield Stocks That Give You Cash When You Need It!
Sticking to a monthly payment plan isn't so bad when you're the payee! Most stocks pay dividends quarterly, but we've found 188 equities abroad that pay you every month -- perfect if you want steady income timed to match your bills. To make it easy to set up your own monthly plan, we'll send you this report featuring some of the best monthly earners in the world. They give you the safety of an internationally diversified portfolio... and the convenience of a monthly paycheck.
 
High Yields South of the Border
Latin America's largest economies have become paradigms of stable economic growth -- and its stock markets have surged over the past decade. But we're still finding cheap stocks with high yields. For example: This telecom has 90% of the fixed-line market in Brazil's most affluent state. Yielding 8.2%, its dividend payout has increased steadily over the past several years... and the appreciating Brazilian real has made every dividend check increasingly valuable to U.S. investors.
 
Gains Ahead: Fast-Growing Global Beauties
For every stock in this country, there are four more around the world. And plenty of them are throwing off sparkling yields, like the gems you'll find in our new report. This report gathers exciting high-yield stocks from as close as Canada to as far away as the South Sea Islands. It's the perfect way to kick-start your global high-yield portfolio.

Not for Everyone... But Maybe Perfect For You

      High-Yield International isn't for everyone. You will be part of an elite investment alliance -- not a mass-circulation service.

     Instead of trying to get a zillion subscribers, I want to make sure this service does what it's supposed to: take the guesswork out of choosing high-yields from around the world without any hidden liabilities that could trip up a safety-first investor.

     To introduce Carla's new letter to the widest number of people, I am offering new subscribers 50% off: $397 for one year and $697 for two years.

     The picks in High-Yield International's Ultra High-Yield Portfolio are yielding an average of 11.8% right now. Invest $100,000 and you'll be pocketing $11,800 per year in dividends alone in these foreign cash cows -- and plenty more if you want to be aggressive. Is making almost four times the yield of the average stock -- while reducing your risk -- worth just barely over a dollar everyday?

     Only you can answer that. But our guarantee makes the fee irrelevant. If High-Yield International isn't right for you, we'll send you every penny of your payment back.

     Take a whole year to decide. No fine print.

     When those fat distribution checks come rolling in, the beauty of our "pay-me-now" approach will be obvious. You'll recoup your initial investment before you know it. After that, every check is pure gravy. And any capital gain down the road is icing on the cake.

     So it's your choice. You can place your investment future on the back of U.S. stocks... a market yielding 3.1% that even optimistic forecasters believe is facing a long uphill struggle... or join us as we lock in solid foreign plays yielding from 6% to 19% right out of the gate in dividends alone.

     I think the choice is clear. Please try a no-risk subscription today.

"I have been rewarded handsomely for the last three years with international stocks."
Louis Delpozzo
Pompano Beach, FL

"By investing in the Korea Fund (NYSE: KF), as suggested by StreetAuthority, I made $9,500 in less than two weeks. I am a long-term investor and bought 1,200 shares, got a $15.94 per share year-end payment that I would never have known about without being a subscriber, and best of all it sits in my IRA, so no taxes!! Thank you very much."
Mark Di Giorgio

"As a retired partner of a brokerage firm, (35 years in the profession) and a subscriber of several investment services -- it's yours that I look forward to most. And yes, I have done nicely following your recommendations. Thank you."
Robert Hinsen
Lee's Summit, MO

"Having read hundreds of financial newsletters on an ongoing basis for over 23 years, I can tell you that StreetAuthority's services are among the very best in the business. I am continually amazed at the broad range of in-depth and consistently excellent research that you offer to your readers. Keep up the good work!"

"With the U.S. stock market performing so poorly, there has never been a greater need for an investor to know more about international stock investing than today."
David Friedman
New York, NY

"I have made more money in retirement than I did when I was working. Income from dividend-paying stocks (which I collect every month) is even better than my greatest expectations. Thanks for your help."
William Briglia
Newport News, VA

"You guys are far and away one of the best in the business - I have been in the business since 1960 in brokerage, trust management, and now as a registered investment advisor (RIA) in Maine. Your coverage has helped me outperform the indexes by a wide margin, especially since I opened shop here in 2002 after running a Trust Department of over $100 million in equities. Keep up the good work - I have been meaning to applaud for some time. Thanks!"
Comment from Subscriber Survey

"I have made money with all the international stocks, ETFs, and funds with foreign stocks recommended by StreetAuthority that I have bought."
