Important Updates for Investors
Carla Pasternak's Premiere Issue of High-Yield International Just
Released
Income expert Carla Pasternak's debut issue of High-Yield
International covers a Taiwanese manufacturer yielding 9.5%... a
rare Mexican monopoly yielding 13.4%... and other top-performing
investments yielding up to 19.0%.
Government's Biofuel Timetable Could Spell +15,900% Growth
+15,900% growth might seem far-fetched... but it's not. In fact, it
is mandated by law. And I've identified the ONLY stock positioned to
capture this growth.
The
Silver Lining to a Falling Dollar
Despite the U.S. national debt, there is a silver lining for income
investors. This massive spending, combined with movement out of U.S.
Treasuries, is going to take its toll on the dollar, and
international income investors could reap the rewards in the form of
higher dividends. |

Anheuser-Busch (BUD) Delivers Frothy Profit
of +42%
Published:
July 7, 2008
The skies over Wall Street have been darkening.
But even after one of the most painful months in recent years,
there are several cracks in the foundation that suggest this
recent sell-off is merely a harbinger of steeper losses on the
horizon: inflationary pressures have been creeping higher,
consumer spending and sentiment have crumbled, and soaring
energy prices and credit-related woes have the potential to
further destabilize prices.
The paragraph above could certainly apply to today's market.
However, it was pulled almost verbatim from my July 2006
Half-Priced Stocks newsletter. Unfortunately, while
it may have been a tad early, that month's feature article on
"Survival Strategies for a Volatile Market" proved to be right
on the mark.
But to paraphrase Warren Buffett, predicting rain doesn't count;
building arks does. So with that in mind, I identified a small
handful of stocks that were poised to deliver gains in even the
darkest of markets. At the top of that list was
Anheuser-Busch (NYSE: BUD, $61.67), a defensive company with
countercyclical tendencies.
People don't stop picking up the occasional six-pack of beer
when the economy goes south -- in fact, many actually step up
their purchases. That makes brewers recession resistant, and
Anheuser-Busch isn't called the King of Beers for no reason --
it brews roughly one of every two beers consumed nationwide. And
it didn't hurt that the firm had lifted its dividend payments
for 28 consecutive years.
With all that in mind, I gave BUD a thumbs-up for nervous
investors and calculated a fair value of $61 per share.
And as you may be aware, rival InBev has just launched a
takeover bid for Anheuser-Busch, submitting an offer of $46.3
billion, or $65 per share -- in-line with my fair value
estimate. Regardless of whether the deal actually goes through,
shareholders have reason to celebrate. Since my initial report,
BUD has bubbled up from $45.59 to Thursday's close of $61.67 --
an intoxicating gain of +42% including dividends.
In this month's newsletter, I profile another company whose
services look to be in almost constant demand -- at least until
the world's thirst for oil suddenly dries up. Our "Undervalued
Stock of the Month" for July is a leading offshore driller whose
deepwater rigs are booked through 2009 and raking in up to
$400,000 per day. Yet, the shares are still trading more than
30% below fair value.
