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. |

| Market
Timing |
What It Is:
Market timing is the practice of buying and selling securities based on economic
trends, corporate information, and market factors. It is also known as tactical
asset allocation or active investing.
How It Works/Example:
Let’s assume you have $100,000 to invest. Based on your circumstances, risk
aversion, goals, and tax situation, you put $50,000 of the money in stocks,
$30,000 in bonds, $10,000 in real estate, and $10,000 in cash.
The market timer seeks to sell at the “top” and buy at the “bottom.”
Thus, if interest rates increase, the market timer may sell some or all of his
stocks and purchase more bonds to take advantage of what may be a “peaked”
market for stocks and the beginning of a boom for bonds.
Market timers believe short-term price movements are important and often
predictable; this is why they often refer to statistical anomalies, recurring
patterns, and other data that supports a correlation between certain information
and stock prices. A market timer’s investment horizon can be months, days, or
even hours or minutes. Passive investors, on the other hand, evaluate an
investment’s long-term potential and rely more on fundamental analysis of the
company behind the security, such as the company’s long-term strategy, the
quality of its products, or the company’s relationships with management when
deciding whether to buy or sell.
Market timers are more likely to use leverage in order to produce better
results. This in turn introduces more risk into their portfolios but may also
provide higher returns.
Why It Matters:
In general, the constant analysis associated with market timing involves more
asset re-allocation and trading activity than passive management. It often also
requires more time and education than passive management, and the extra trading
commissions and capital gains taxes may translate to higher management fees and
return requirements.
Market timing is a controversial idea. Many studies over the decades have found
that many managers cannot find the market’s “tops” and “bottoms”
consistently. But the most notable areas of controversy are theoretical rather
than mechanical. Many passive managers dislike market timing because they
espouse the efficient market hypothesis, which says that prices are random and
already reflect all available information. A cousin of this hypothesis, the
random walk theory, also claims it is impossible to consistently outperform the
market, particularly in the short term, because it is impossible to predict
stock prices.
Regardless, market timing enjoys a large and loyal following among investors,
and many active managers have posted returns well above market benchmarks.
However, consistently providing above-average returns remains the big challenge.
No matter where they rest on the issue, most analysts encourage even passive
investors to learn about and understand market timing methods, stay current on
their investments, and know how to read stock charts.
