With non-stop alarmist warnings about "bubbles" and "crashes," it's hard not to be. Just look at the following headlines: "Warning: Stocks Will Collapse By 50% in 2014" ---Moneynews.com "Time to Worry About the Stock Market Bubble" ---The New York Times "How Long Can the Market Stay Overvalued?" ---USAToday But wait a minute. Just as you're ready to believe the media, dump your stocks and "get out of Dodge," here come news stories screaming exactly the opposite. Like these... "Janet Yellen: No Stock Bubble Here" ---Wall Street Journal "Why U.S. Stocks Aren't Overvalued" ---CNBC "Stocks Overvalued? Not So Fast" ---The New York Times No wonder you're stressed over the "in or out" conundrum in this world of financial contradictions. You've worked hard to build your nest egg. Maybe you're solidly on your way to financial independence. Maybe you're almost---but not quite---there. Here's one thing we know for sure: as hard as you've worked, as far as you've come, you shouldn't have to put up with this kind of anxiety. That's why we're writing you today. We've found a way out. It starts with a portfolio so steady it can free you from worrying about whether the stock market is "grossly overvalued" or "a bubble ready to burst"... ...because you'll be smiling above it all, collecting a steady stream of fat checks from the best dividend-paying stocks in the U.S. and around the world. Stick with us to the end of this article, and we'll show you how to get instant access to this portfolio, as well as a new special report that gives you our top 5 dividend buys now---including one that yields a healthy 10.32%---absolutely free. It all comes to you from our new Global Income Edge advisory, which gives you a unique portfolio that makes the world pay you on a soothingly regular basis. Global Income Edge is headed by Richard Stavros, whose stock-picking system helped our Utility Forecaster service hit its current average gain of 293% per pick. Now he's turned his attention to delivering you huge dividend payouts at a time in your life when you need income the most---and stress the least. But before we go any further, there's something you need to know... It's a Wise Time to Play It Safe The truth is, you have every right to be anxious in these confusing economic times. With the bull market reaching a creaky 5 years old and the S&P up 183% since March 2009, any sane investor should have the jitters. Added to those worries: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that over 92 million working-age Americans are still out of the labor force, the lowest percentage of the workforce actually employed (62%) since 1978. Doesn't sound like the most solid foundation for the fifth-longest bull market in U.S. history to continue much longer, does it? Long story short, it's a wise time to play it safe---but "safe" with reliable income flowing into your mailbox from wherever advantageous dividends exist. And here's something else that may surprise you. Most U.S. investors are missing out on the best income opportunities out there---and you might be among them. That's because they're... Ignoring Two-Thirds of the World's Dividends For this volatile market and weak recovery, you want your nest egg safely nestled with industry-dominating companies with stable cash flows and steady profits in all economic weather. These are the outfits that generate the high-single- and double-digit yields that lead to real wealth. But the average S&P 500 stock only yields 1.9%. Yet, in the hunt for dividends, most investors limit their search to U.S. stocks. It's like hunting with blinders. But once you take the blinders off---and international income stocks come into view---you discover a whole new world of opportunities. Most investors don't know that last year a record $1.3 trillion in dividends were paid out worldwide. Of this total, only 33% came from American companies. The other two-thirds came from international stocks, as confirmed by the BBC. In effect, by overlooking global income stocks, U.S. investors are cutting themselves off from a treasure trove of international dividends. Key to remember... There are always high-yielding stocks waiting to be extracted somewhere---no matter what the state of the global economy ... or the geopolitical situation. We're talking about investments that not only deliver 10.05%, 10.10%, even 10.32% dividends ... but can also turn into 10-bagger growth plays. The Same Global Giants Buffett Buys These are the same kinds of stocks the world's savviest investors---including Warren Buffett---have quietly embraced. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway portfolio includes income producers like French health care leader Sanofi and Canadian energy company Suncor, as well as multinational U.S. dividend payers like ConocoPhillips and Coca-Cola. The bottom line: if you want to free yourself from lost sleep about bubbles, crashes and reruns of 2008 or worse, these are the stocks you want. Global income investing is a strategy that frees you from stressing over when to get in or get out of the market, and from agonizing over a company's short-term prospects... ...and it inoculates your wealth against fiscal cliffs, debt-ceiling debacles and all manner of mischief coming out of Washington and Wall Street. Sound intriguing? If you've read this far, we assume the answer is yes. So let's get right to how you can...

Canada's Exports at a Record High 9/05/2014 By Ari Charney Canada's trade surplus has reached its highest level since just prior to the onset of the Global Financial Crisis. This is the strongest evidence yet that the economy's transition from its reliance on debt-burdened consumers could finally be underway. Exports account for about one-third of Canada's economy, with the US absorbing roughly three-quarters of the country's shipments. International merchandise trade blew past expectations in July, with a surge in exports pushing Canada's trade surplus to CAD2.6 billion. Economists had actually expected the surplus to shrink to CAD1.2 billion from June's revised number of CAD1.83 billion. To put these numbers in context, over the trailing five-year period, Canada has averaged a trade deficit of CAD425 million per month. And over the trailing year, the country has averaged a trade surplus of CAD300 million. The trend toward rising trade surpluses had seemed to be gathering momentum in February and March. But Canada's trade balance fell back into deficit in April due to a sudden drop in energy exports that resulted in part because a number of key refineries had been idled for routine maintenance that month. But the past three months have shown a strong resurgence in export activity along with a decline in imports, causing the trade balance to shift in a positive direction by an average of CAD1 billion per month. During this period, the biggest change in terms of dollar amount actually occurred in June as the surplus jumped to CAD1.83 billion from CAD449 million in the prior month. According to Statistics Canada (StatCan), exports rose to CAD45.5 billion in July, with motor vehicles and parts the single largest contributor to this performance. Exports of motor vehicles and parts, which is Canada's second-largest export category after energy products, climbed 9.7 percent month over month in July, to CAD6.9billion, for the fifth increase in seven months, thanks to record auto sales in the US. On a year-over-year basis, exports in this category have grown by 18.2 percent. At a sub-category level, exports of passenger cars and light trucks jumped 10.2 percent, while exports of motor vehicle engines and motor vehicle parts were up 8.9 percent. Aircraft and other transportation equipment delivered the strongest performance on a year-over-year basis, with export growth of 30.4 percent over that period, but activity in July was muted. And this category is one of the smaller ones in terms of dollar-value contribution to total exports. Overall exports to the US increased by 1.9 percent, to CAD34.4billion, while imports from the US rose 1.2 percent, to CAD29.2billion. As a result, Canada's trade surplus with the US widened to CAD5.1 billion in July from CAD4.9billion in the prior month. In addition to keeping tabs on exports, we've also been closely monitoring imports of industrial machinery, equipment and parts to get a sense of whether Canadian businesses are investing for future growth. Imports in this category grew 1.4 percent month over month, to CAD4.1 billion. Growth in this area has been jagged since February, but the category is still up 11.0 percent year over year, which seems promising. StatCan released these results a day after the Bank of Canada (BoC) announced that it would maintain its benchmark overnight rate at 1 percent. In the statement accompanying its decision, the central bank observed, "Canadian exports surged in the second quarter after a weak winter, supported notably by stronger US investment spending and the past depreciation of the Canadian dollar." "While an increasing number of export sectors appear to be turning the corner toward recovery," the BoC continued, "this pickup will need to be sustained before it will translate into higher business investment and hiring." Hopefully, July's result will help such cautious optimism evolve into wholehearted optimism. But we'll likely need at least a couple more months of robust export activity to persuade the practitioners of the so-called dismal science accordingly.

Australian Retail Rises Yet Again 9/05/2014 By Ari Charney Since the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is keen for one of the non-mining sectors to take over leadership of Australia's economy, we've been closely monitoring the country's retail sector. And retail's performance has taken on new significance as economists, including RBA Governor Glenn Stevens, become increasingly concerned about a possible housing bubble.With interest rates at historic lows, it makes sense that rate-sensitive sectors such as real estate should be booming. At the same time, while Mr. Stevens has recently lamented the lack of "animal spirits" among entrepreneurs and other risk-takers who help spur growth, he is cognizant of not fueling a further spike in housing prices by lowering rates even further. As he noted in a recent address before the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA), "[A build-up of risk in the financial sector] could leave the economy exposed to nasty shocks in the future. The more prudent approach is to try to avoid, so far as we can, that particular boom-bust cycle." "It is stating the obvious that at present," Mr. Stevens continued, "while we may desire to see a faster reduction in the rate of unemployment, further inflating an already elevated level of housing prices seems an unwise route to try to achieve that." Translation: The central bank is holding firm on its benchmark cash rate, which is currently at an all-time low of 2.5 percent. For now, that leaves the retail space as the great non-mining sector hope. As Reuters notes, the AUD270 billion retail sector accounts for 17 percent of Australia's economy and is the country's second-biggest employer, providing 10 percent of all jobs. And the sector has shown unusual resilience amid a period of rising unemployment, particularly during the latter half of 2013 and early 2014. Indeed, from October through January, retail sales not only rose, their pace of growth accelerated with each passing month, finally peaking with seasonally adjusted month-over-month growth of 1.2 percent in January. Thereafter, however, growth was essentially flat for three months, before the outright decline in May. Falling consumer confidence amid a difficult job market and a contentious federal budget are considered among the possible culprits for this sudden weakness after such a strong run. But the June numbers showed that Australia's consumer sentiment perhaps had greater resilience than expected--or at least that it doesn't always flow through to spending. And now the Australian Bureau of Statistics' (ABS) release of the July numbers shows that retail sales have increased for the second consecutive month, even if the pace was slightly lower than in June. The ABS reported that Australian retail turnover rose 0.4 percent in July, to AUD23.3 billion, equaling the consensus forecast among economists, according to data aggregated by Bloomberg. Over the trailing year, retail sales have averaged growth of 0.5 percent per month, compared to 0.3 percent per month over the trailing three-year period. So the sector does have considerable near-term momentum. Indeed, economists with Westpac said July's result increases trailing-year growth in retail sales to 5.9 percent from 5.6 percent. According to the ABS, discretionary spending was a significant factor in this result, with the largest contributor to the rise coming from the cafes, restaurants and takeaway food services category, which rose 1.4 percent, accounting for 14 percent of total retail sales. And sales at department stores rose 1.9 percent after two consecutive months of declines. Food retailing, which accounts for 41 percent of retail trade, increased 0.5 percent, while clothing, footwear and personal accessory retailing was up 0.1 percent. Interestingly, despite the frothy real estate market, household goods retailing declined by 0.2 percent, though this was on the back of strong growth in June. Most economists believe July retail sales, along with improving consumer and business confidence, augur well for third-quarter growth.
