View This Message on the Web November 2 A Year After the Crisis, the Global Economy is Firing on All Cylinders By Jon D. Markman Contributing Writer Money Morning What a difference 12 months can make. Just one year after every national economy on earth was in deep trouble, a powerful global rebound is underway. In fact, the global upswing is a lot stronger than most investors realize. So don't let a few days' decline here and there cause you to lose sight of one of the most important investing trends investors will find today. According to ISI Group researchers, the transformation has been a dramatic one. A year ago, every national economy on earth was declining at the same time – some dramatically. Today, however, every economy is now improving – though at different paces. Read Full Article » 19 Picks. 19 Wins. 100% Perfect Record. What more can we say?

Sponsored content Gambling on Casino Stocks: Where Should Investors Place Their Bets? By Jason Simpkins Managing Editor Money Morning Casino stocks lost big last month as weak earnings and new gambling restrictions in Macao drove investors away from the highly cyclical sector. But the future may not be as bleak as many investors fear, which means casinos could be building towards a big payout. Shares of both Wynn Resorts Ltd. (Nasdaq: WYNN) and MGM Mirage (NYSE: MGM) are down more than 20% this month, while Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) stock has tumbled 15%.

The fund is up about 15% since that recommendation and there's been a distribution of about 2% of the initial investment. Not bad for sitting in bonds and equities of global mega-caps that pay high dividends. Since this is a close-ended balanced mutual fund that pays a very attractive yield, the fund can invest between 50% to 60% in municipal bonds and between 40% to 50% in global equities. It also can trade at a premium or a discount to net asset value. Anyone who invested in June was lucky to get in when there was an anomaly in the market and the fund was trading at about a 20% discount to its net asset value. Today, that discount has narrowed to a still high 13%. This discount, and the very high yield that the fund pays, protect it from market downside much more than regular stocks and municipal bonds.
