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. |

General Questions
Why should I focus on
exchange-traded funds (ETFs)?
Exchange-traded funds are some of the
most innovative new securities to hit the market since the introduction of the
mutual fund. When you purchase an ETF, you are gain instant exposure to a large
(and often well diversified) basket of underlying securities -- usually those
representing a particular index or sector.
Exchange-traded funds have grown
increasingly popular in recent years, and the number of offerings has swelled
into the hundreds from just a handful ten years ago. Today, these securities
compete with mutual funds and offer a number of advantages over their
predecessors, including:
Low Cost -- Unlike traditional
mutual and index funds, ETFs have no front- or back-end loads. In addition,
because they are not actively managed, most ETFs have minimal expense ratios,
making them much more affordable than most other diversified investment
vehicles. Most mutual funds also have minimum investment requirements, making
them impractical for some smaller investors. By contrast, investors can purchase
as little as one share of the ETF of their choice.
Liquidity -- Whereas traditional
mutual funds are only priced at the end of the day, ETFs can be bought and sold
at any time throughout the trading day. Many have average daily trading volumes
in the hundreds of thousands (and in some cases millions) of shares per day,
making them extremely liquid.
Tax-Advantages -- In a
traditional mutual fund, managers are typically forced to sell off portfolio
assets in order to meet redemptions. Often, this act triggers capital gains
taxes, to which all shareholders are exposed. By contrast, the buying and
selling of shares on the open market has no impact on an ETF's tax liability,
and those that choose to redeem their ETFs are paid in shares of stock rather
than in cash. This minimizes an ETF's tax burden because it does not have to
sell shares (and therefore potentially realize taxable capital gains) to obtain
cash to return to investors.
As with any security, the pros and cons
should be weighed carefully, and investors should first do their homework to
determine whether exchange-traded funds are the appropriate vehicle to meet
their individual goals and objectives.
How does editor Nathan Slaughter
find high-quality ETF investment ideas?
In an effort to uncover today's most profitable ETFs, Nathan has developed a
proprietary ETF rating system. This proprietary model incorporates his
comprehensive research, analysis and market outlook, and it allows him to
provide you with an easy-to-interpret letter grade for each and every ETF he
profiles in The ETF Authority.
To determine this grade, he judges funds on a number of quantitative factors,
including fees and expenses, volatility and risk-adjusted performance, relative
returns, and tax efficiency, among other things. And to supplement this hard
data, he adds his subjective, forward-looking assessment of a specific fund's
outlook, based on relative strength, valuation and a host of other technical and
fundamental criteria.
As the most important grading criterion, he assigns a fund's relative
performance a score ranging from 1 (lowest) to 15 (highest). Each of the other
five grading categories are worth five points. From that total, he determines a
fund's grade as follows:
38 - 40 points -- A+
34 - 37 points -- A
31 - 33 points -- A-
28 - 30 points -- B+
26 - 27 points -- B
24 - 25 points -- B-
17 - 23 points -- C
14 - 16 points -- D
<13 points -- F
This grading methodology forms the foundation of Nathan Slaughter's ETF
Authority newsletter, and needless to say, he focuses his research primarily
on those select few funds that fall into the upper tiers of this scoring system.
