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. |

| Black
Friday |
What It Is:
In the trading world, Black Friday refers to the gold crisis of September 24,
1869. It sometimes also refers to the New York Stock Exchange crash of September
19, 1873.
In the retail world, Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving (which is always
on a Thursday). The day marks the advent of the holiday shopping season and the
point at which most retailers begin making profits (also known as going in the black).
How It Works/Example:
The Black Friday of 1869 was the result of a government scandal that shook the
core of Ulysses S. Grant’s presidency. In his inaugural address in January
1869, Grant demonstrated his commitment to gold-backed currency by insisting on
repaying the war bond debt from the Civil War with gold. He also planned to use
gold to purchase dollars from citizens at a discount and replacing those dollars
with gold-backed currency.
Jay Gould and Jim Fisk, two financiers already infamous for their involvement in
a bribery and fraud scandal surrounding the Erie Railroad, were attempting to
corner the gold market at the time by driving the price of gold up and then
selling it all for huge profits. Gould and Fisk heard of Grant’s plan to sell
gold and knew their scheme would not work (the increased supply of gold in the
markets would keep the price too low). So to prevent the government sale, Gould
and Fisk enlisted the help of Grant’s brother-in-law, Abel Rathbone Corbin.
The three met Grant at several social gatherings and attempted to persuade him
that his monetary policy was a mistake. Corbin also successfully urged Grant to
name General Daniel Butterfield as the assistant treasurer of the United States.
Butterfield was responsible for handling the government’s gold sales, and he
agreed to give Gould, Fisk, and Corbin advance notice of when the government was
going to sell gold if they would pay him in return.
Assuming that their efforts to stop the government’s gold sale were successful
(and widely advertising that they were), Gould and Fisk bought as much gold as
they could on September 20, 1869, and prices rose by 20%.
However, Grant was suspicious of his brother-in-law’s interest in the gold
markets and later found a letter from his sister to First Lady Julia Grant about
the entire matter. Furious, Grant ordered Corbin to put an end to his scheme and
then quietly ordered a government sale of $4 million of gold.
When the government gold hit the market on September 24, 1869, the price
fell and panic ensued. Many investors had purchased gold on margin and others
were locked into purchase contracts. When the price fell, not only did these
investors face financial disaster, but other commodity prices destabilized,
foreign trade was nearly halted (because it was conducted in gold), and the
stock market nearly came to a halt. Abel Corbin lost significantly, but Gould
sold his gold before the market fell and went on the control the Western Union
Telegraph Company and the Manhattan Elevated Railroad. Butterfield was fired
following a Congressional investigation, and Jim Fisk was shot dead by another
financier, Edward Stokes, in 1872, after the two got into an argument over money
and Broadway showgirl.
Why It Matters:
Over time, the term has come to describe any Friday on which a terrible event
occurs.
