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. |

| Russell
2000 Index |
What It Is:
The Russell 2000 index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies
in the Russell 3000 index. The Frank Russell Company created the index in 1984,
and it was one of the first broad benchmarks of the U.S. equity market.
How It Works/Example:
The Russell 2000 is one of several subsets of the Russell 3000 index, which
consists of the 3,000 largest U.S. public companies and nearly 100% of the
capitalization of the U.S. stock market. The Russell 2000 index, while still
very broad, composes less than 10% of the capitalization of the U.S. stock
market.
The Russell 2000 follows a number of industry sectors, but excludes stocks
trading below $1.00, as well as pink sheet and bulletin-board stocks. The index
also excludes closed-end mutual funds, limited partnerships, royalty trusts,
foreign stocks, and ADRs. Because a small-cap stock can become a mid-cap stock
over time, the Russell 2000 index is reconstituted every May. Eligible initial
public offerings are added quarterly.
Unlike the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Russell 2000 index is weighted by
shares outstanding. This means that a member stock’s last sale price as well
as the number of shares that can actually be traded (rather than the company’s
full market capitalization) influence the index.
Other permutations of the Russell 2000 measure the performance of companies with
special characteristics. For example, the Russell 2000 Growth Index measures the
performance of Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and
higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2000 Value Index measures the
performance of Russell 2000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower
forecasted growth values.
Why It Matters:
The Russell 2000 index is one of the most widely used benchmarks for small-cap
stocks because it is much broader than other indices. However, it is important
to note that the index excludes micro-cap and other very small stocks. Russell
2000 companies are still relatively small, however, and this makes the index
volatile.
Many investors compare mutual fund performance with the Russell 2000 index
because it reflects the return opportunity presented by the entire market rather
than opportunities offered by narrower indices, which may contain bias or more
stock-specific risk that distort a fund manager’s performance. Many mutual
funds and ETFs are tied to or based on the Russell 2000.
