Hey fellas. I have subscribed for a couple of months. Seems like a solid, well-researched, service. Holdings have taken a beating with the rest of the market, not surprisingly. Holdings on a number of issues have also seen dividends slashed, but they still pay out far above the average S&P issue. Probably the best feature of the service is the extra reports they throw in upon subscribing. Think MLPs (KMP, MMP, EPD) and closed-end funds (AGD, AOD), etc. If doing your own research, you will probably come across many, if not all, of the names they have come up with for their portfolio. A great place for CEF’s is http://www.etfconnect.com. Hope all is well and a great thanks to Travis for an unbelievable site.

I tried this out for a couple to see what it was. I did not invest in any picks. My main complete with international letters is their lack of clearly explaining the tax implications of their recommendations. Foreign tax withholding by Euro and Canadian companies will significantly reduce your divident yields your IRA. Also, PFIC (passive foreign investment) income is disaster in an IRA and a royal pain in taxable accounts. None of these issues are even remotely addressed by these “international” letters.

Carla does a good job of researching her recommendations, assessing risk and stating income return. Her picks have performed well both in income and in total return in High-Yield Investing and, so far, in High Yield International.
