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. |

| Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) |
What it is:
"GAAP" is an acronym that stands for Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. GAAP is a framework of accounting standards, rules and procedures,
defined by the professional accounting industry, which has been adopted by
nearly all publicly traded U.S. companies.
How it Works/Example:
GAAP principles, which are updated regularly to reflect the latest accounting
methodologies, are the definitive source of accounting guidelines that companies
rely on when preparing their financial statements. The standards are established
and administered by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
GAAP rules and procedures are what
govern corporate accountants when they present the details of a company's
financial operations. These details can be found in such places as quarterly
balance sheets or income statements, 10-Q filings, or annual reports. Examples
of GAAP measures include net earnings, gross income, and net cash provided by
operating activities.
Why it Matters:
Investors should always review a company's GAAP financial results, as the
standardized methodology provides a reliable means of comparing financial
results from industry to industry and from year to year. However, GAAP rules are
sometimes subject to different interpretations, and unscrupulous companies often
find a way to bend or manipulate them to their advantage. Furthermore, it is
commonplace -- even for accurate results where GAAP principles were
conservatively applied -- for financial results to be restated at some point in
the future.
Often, the most insightful way to
compare a company's performance against prior periods is to review its non-GAAP
financial measures. Management, analysts, and investors routinely use these
metrics to gauge a firm's progress. A few widely used examples of non-GAAP
measures include free cash flow, pro-forma earnings, and adjusted income from
continuing operations. Sometimes, certain non-GAAP figures are common within an
industry, and these tools often prove especially useful when comparing
competitors. Many companies, for example, often use earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) as a core measure of performance.
However, non-GAAP financial measures exclude operating and statistical measures
such as employee counts and ratios calculated using numbers calculated in
accordance with GAAP.
The SEC requires companies to reconcile
their non-GAAP financial measures with the closest comparable GAAP measure.
Because they can vary widely from firm to firm, non-GAAP calculations do not
always provide an apples-to-apples comparison. For this reason, these
alternative measures are not meant to replace GAAP, but should instead be used
in conjunction with it.
