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. |

| Junk Bond |
A junk bond is a fixed-income
security that is rated below investment grade by one or more of the major bond
ratings agencies. Bonds often receive this type of low rating when the
corporation, municipality or other entity that issued the bond is facing
financial trouble. In these cases, the credit risk on the bonds is fairly high
-- in other words, there is a relatively decent chance that the junk bond issuer
will have trouble fulfilling its repayment obligations (including interest and
principal).
Several independent rating services
have been established in order to evaluate the risk associated with corporate
and municipal bonds. The best-known bond rating firms are Standard & Poor's
and Moody's. Before issuing a bond rating, these companies first measure the
financial stability of the bond issuer. They then assign ratings to the
underlying firm's bonds. Although the actual ratings scale varies from agency to
agency, it generally ranges from triple A to D. Junk bonds are those rated BA or
below by Moody's, or BB or below by Standard and Poor's.
The following table will give you a
better idea of what each type of bond rating means, as well as the difference
between investment-grade bonds and junk bonds.
