It's one thing when you see a chief executive calmly reciting his reassuring talking point on the business networks in an attempt to tell the world that everything is going to be all right.

But it's something else entirely when you notice a stock with an ever-widening dividend stream.  The message there isn't that things are going to be all right -- it's that things are all right.

Which is why it is note-worthy that amid the worst financial downturn in memory, one class of securities just kept notching things up.  One class of securities looked at the market and simply yawned.  One class of securities had a business model so strong that it didn't have to worry about a cash crunch in the tightest credit climate on record. It just had to wait for the cash to come rolling in. And did it ever!

So "note-worthy" might be underselling things a little.  In fact, we should be shouting about these results from the rooftops.  The nine strongest members of this asset class, which High-Yield Investing Editor Carla Pasternak has just identified, are paying an average dividend of 9.6%. That puts them in the top 1% of all dividend payers in the United States.  They're paying three times the dividend yield of the S&P 500 and more than twice "AAA"-rated corporate bonds.  
 

At that rate of return, an investment doubles in just 7 1/2 years. That's great performance, but if you buy these shares today, you aren't going to be earning that return for 7 1/2 years.  You're not even going to earn it for one year.  That's because these entities are legally wired to engender an ever-increasing payout.  That's how the nine stocks Carla has selected managed to increase their payouts +14.0% last year alone. 
 

Let's take a look behind the curtain at one of Carla's favorite picks...

This company owns and controls the general partner of a publicly traded MLP. It's responsible for running the day-to-day operations of a business that moves and stores refined petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and natural gas liquids.

It's no small job, to be sure. The company has to look after 8,500 miles of pipeline that connect the Gulf Coast to Illinois, Minnesota, and Colorado, serving half of the nation's refineries.  It also operates 1,100 miles of ammonia pipelines and owns storage and distribution terminals that provide fuel mixtures for shipping to customers. 

This entity is entitled to receive 2% of the cash distributed by the MLP. It also holds the incentive distribution rights, which entitle it to receive increasing percentages of any incremental cash distributed by the MLP. These incentive distribution rights have enabled it to increase its payouts every single quarter since initiating distributions.

The latest quarterly distribution was up +22% from a year earlier, and as the MLP distributions increase, the GP's distributions will increase even faster because of the incentive distribution arrangement described above. The additional cash flow driving the distribution growth is expected to come from internal expansion projects during the next few years.  The partnership spent about $300 million on expansion projects last year, and it has budgeted another $200 million for this year, with $80 million to follow in 2010. The company is using financing expanded storage and pipeline capacity out of operations and will draw on an existing line of credit for potential acquisitions.

For the long-term income investor with some tolerance for volatility, this entity is poised to offer a growing income stream and a record-high yield.  Subscribe today and we'll reveal the name of this security -- and other knockout GPs that Carla has identified as the best in class.  You'll receive a full year of High-Yield Investing, with access to Carla's propriety portfolios and the savviest research available.

What is High-Yield Investing? High-Yield Investing is a monthly investment newsletter that brings you a wealth of information on the market's leading income stocks and funds, as well as a host of relatively unknown investment options that you probably never knew existed! Many of these securities provide investors with annual dividend yields of 10%, 12%, even 15% or more. We not only provide our subscribers with investing ideas that produce incredibly high dividend yields, but the kicker is that many of these high-yield investments have also consistently outperformed the major market averages! In each monthly issue of High-Yield Investing we sift through various sectors of the economy where smart money appears to be turning its attention. In the end, we uncover sectors that we feel are poised to outperform the broader market throughout the coming year. Within these sectors we then look for the most promising income stocks to introduce to our subscribers. You couldn't ask for a better time to begin owning high-yield income stocks. Here's why: -- The oldest members of the baby boomer generation (those born between 1946 and 1964) recently turned 62 years old and are starting to enter into retirement. Do you realize what this means? The leading edge of a generation populated by 76 million people will soon find itself searching for stable, income-producing investments to replace their regular paychecks. Best of all, this trend will continue for at least another 20 years as this generation continues to progress into retirement. -- Dividend-paying stocks have outperformed the broader market in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue in the years ahead as investors look to dividends to bring in solid returns in an otherwise lackluster market. According to Standard & Poor's, equity prices are expected to appreciate an average of just about +6% a year throughout the next few years. That leaves dividends to play a larger role in boosting investors' total returns. Although dividends have already accounted for about 40% of the market's total returns since 1926, that figure is likely to increase with the current trend toward higher dividend payments. As such, investors of all stripes need to have exposure to high-quality income stocks. -- A growing number of firms are taking advantage of the recently reduced dividend tax rate to make their stocks more attractive to investors. Since the 15% tax cap took effect back in 2003, dozens of companies in the S&P 500 have initiated dividends, and the vast majority of firms have raised their dividends. Right now, nearly 75% of all members of the S&P 500 pay dividends. -- Not only are more companies paying dividends, but more are also increasing their dividend payments. As a result, cash dividend payments are now at record levels. If your portfolio isn't delivering both capital gains and a steady stream of cash income each and every year, then you're missing out on some great opportunities. As an established expert in the income investment field, editor Carla Pasternak has the knowledge, contacts and expertise to help you identify such winning picks for your portfolio. If you're an income-oriented investor, then you'll also be pleased to know that Carla focuses her research exclusively on high-yielding investments. She looks exclusively for investments that offer yields of at least 10%, 12%, even 15% or more (and in many cases, much more!) These are the types of investing ideas that will help you earn above-average income from your portfolio for years to come. And because Carla also takes a very conservative approach to her investments, her picks tend to hold up extremely well even when the overall market plummets or trades sideways. Her solid track record (see below for further details) over the past few years is proof positive of that. What You'll Get Every Month with Your Subscription to High-Yield Investing... High-Yield Investing is a monthly investment newsletter that brings you a wealth of information on the world's best and brightest income-oriented investments. Each issue is chock full of market analysis, model portfolios, special reports and proprietary lists of high-yield stocks aimed at helping you become a much better and more profitable income investor. Here's what you'll receive each and every month as a High-Yield Investing subscriber . . . Feature Article -- Each month Carla will take a closer look at a particular corner of the income investing market, ranging from Canadian Trusts to MLPs to utilities to preferred stocks to closed-end funds. After educating you on that particular topic, she'll thoroughly profile several new income-generating opportunities and will back up her analysis with sound fundamental data. Carla will do all the research for you, and when you're done reading you'll be in a much better position to boost your annual income by investing in securities with above-average yields. Mid-Month Updates -- In the middle of each month Carla will summarize the market's recent activity and will tell you in plain, simple English how it affects your income investments. She'll not only tell you how to protect your investments, but she'll also uncover some great new dividend-paying stocks and funds that could help you generate above-average income in today's market. High-Yield Security of the Month -- Each month Carla will bring you an in-depth profile of one of the highest-yielding securities on the market. For example, in recent months she has profiled a public investment firm with a 13.5% yield, an equity-linked security with an 14.1% yield, an Israeli telecom with an 11.8% yield, an income trust with a 9.8% yield, and a royalty trust with a 9.8% yield, among many others. Upcoming Dividend Payouts -- In each issue Carla provides a detailed list of securities that are getting ready to deliver abnormally large dividend payments in the coming weeks. For example, Carla recently spotted an unusually generous firm just days before it paid a special dividend of $15.00 per share. Many of our readers use this list to time their entry points to take full advantage of these dividends. Model Portfolios -- You'll also gain access to two model portfolios that are chock full of dozens of income investing ideas. We're happy to say that in addition to providing above-average dividend yields, most of the picks in these model portfolios have delivered double and triple-digit capital gains. 10%-PLUS PORTFOLIO Carla's "10%-Plus" Portfolio includes a variety of high-reward investment ideas that sport dividend yields of 10% or better. You heard us right -- Carla won't even consider a security for this portfolio unless it offers a double-digit yield! Since inception, the top investment ideas in this portfolio have delivered gains of up to +80.1%. They also sport dividend yields as high as 14.2%. DIVIDEND OPTIMIZER PORTFOLIO In her "Dividend Optimizer" Portfolio, Carla focuses on quality investments that yield at least 3X greater than the S&P at the time of purchase. She initially identifies most of these investments using her proprietary Dividend Optimizer Model, which looks for safe, stable investment ideas that offer above-average annual income. Since inception, the top investment ideas in this portfolio have delivered gains of up to +118.1%. They also sport dividend yields as high as 21.1%.

Blockbuster Yields Scoring Big With Closed-End Funds Closed-end funds offer higher-than-average yields through a bold strategy known as "dividend capture". In this special report, you'll read all about this money-making method that has propelled many yields into the stratosphere. You'll get the details on four dividend-pumping funds that are throwing off hefty yields that are up to 10X greater than the S&P 500. Crude Yields Making Money on America's High Profit Pipelines Here's the answer to a yield-seeker's prayers. They're called "publicly-traded" Master Limited Partnerships and they're just getting the respect they deserve. MLPs are primarily involved in the energy sector where they own and manage the pipelines and infrastructure used to transport petroleum and natural gas around the U.S. Thanks to a constant demand for energy, MLPs generate boatloads of cash and distribute enormous dividends. High-Yield Hybrids Combining Stocks and Bonds for Bigger Profits Here's a security that is the dream of any serious income investor. It combines a double-digit yield with the maximum level of safety possible. It pays dividends like clockwork, just like a bond, but with the upside growth potential of a stock. It's called an Enhanced Income Security (EIS). Learn about this hybrid investment vehicle that lets you enjoy the best of both income worlds and learn how to capture their safe, 10%-plus, yields. Preferred Yields Top Stocks for Dependable High Dividends If you're a savvy income investor looking to minimize your risk as much as possible while still investing in stocks, preferred stocks are the way to go. It's a safe place to park your money.  You are guaranteed a fixed dividend on a set schedule regardless of whether earnings go up and down. And these fixed payments also make preferred share prices less volatile than their common cousins. That can be very important in these tough economic times. High-Yield Adventures Investing Like a venture Capitalist How would you like to invest like a multi-millionaire venture capitalist, share in their outrageous profits but at a fraction of the cost? Well now you can. Thanks to a little-known investment security known as a Business Development Company. These are the new venture capitalists of the 21st Century. They lend money to small-to mid-size companies at high rates -- and sometimes for a piece of the business. The result is exorbitant dividends. Foreign Yields Top International Plays for a Gushing Cash Flow With most foreign economies growing faster than ours, it's no wonder that searching for high yields overseas is proving to be a lucrative endeavor. Meanwhile, if the dollar continues its steady decline, it guarantees that every euro, peso, ruble or rupee you get in interest and dividends is worth more and more. That can quickly add up to a sizeable fortune, especially with foreign yields running 3X, 5X, or 7X higher than domestic yields... even higher. Blistering Yields Scorching Returns on Well-Chosen ETFs Exchange-Traded Funds or ETFs have exploded on the investment scene over the past 15 years.  Why are ETFs such investor favorites? Three reasons. First: Convenience. They combine the simplicity of index investing with the ease of trading stocks. Second: Safety. As a diversified group of stocks and bonds, an ETF is more stable than investing in individual stocks. Third: Scorching Yields. ETFs offer some of the highest dividend yields available.
