Weekly Update: October 30, 2009

The Market Giveth … The Market Taketh Away to Close Out October

Third-quarter earnings continue to come in strong -- with a string of upbeat earnings reports from leading companies, including our own Cash Machine holdings. However, as you've seen, a number of macro-economic reports have been overshadowing earnings, creating a mixed environment for the major indices.

So in today's Cash Machine update, I'll discuss why the market has essentially hit 'pause' at Dow 10,000 -- and what to expect looking forward. We'll go over the numbers and examine how they're affecting both Wall Street and Main Street. I'll also take a look at some of our Cash Machine recommendations reporting earnings -- and I have to tell you, even despite the struggling economy, the landscape is still positive for high-yield investors.

Monthly Issue: November 2009

Strong Dollar, Weak Consumer Confidence Halts Rally

Despite better-than-expected earnings and a string of upbeat economic reports, there are two events that have led to a shaky start for the fourth quarter: consumer confidence and dollar volatility. In fact, the current market rally actually coincides (to the day) with the decline in the greenback.

So far, the current environment remains primed for our high-yield income strategy. Sector leadership is pointing up, capital spending in technology is on the increase, and I believe that 2010 is going to be a great year for investors who position themselves for the coming global economic recovery.

In fact, given the recent developments in the economic landscape, I've been working hard to get the November Cash Machine issue out to you as soon as possible. And I didn't want to hold it until our normal time next week due to an exciting new recommendation in the dry bulk shipping sector. So, today I'm sending you the monthly issue, along with our regular weekly discussion, in one package.

What exactly will we be covering in this combined issue? Well, we'll discuss what the recent market action means for our Cash Machine portfolios going forward. I also have a massive portfolio update, and two sell recommendations. Additionally, I'll go over the Baltic Dry Index and the dry dock shipping sector -- which I've wanted to jump back in to. Well, today's the day -- I've got an excellent new recommendation, a Master Limited Partnership that actually just raised their dividend in a sector where practically all dividends have been omitted recently.
