Both foreign currency valuations and
metals prices are coming off their lows.
Investors exploiting either trend are starting to see above-average
gains. But investors shouldn't settle for just double-digit
appreciation. After all, there are investments that are capturing
both these trends -- and paying double-digit yields to boot.

When
the financial crisis began to turn into a full-fledged bear
market last fall, few investments escaped the downdraft. But
perhaps one of the more surprising drops was felt in the
foreign currency markets.
As investors clamored to the safety of dollar-denominated
U.S. Treasuries, the relative value of the U.S. dollar
soared. This eventually pushed almost every world currencies
to near-historic lows. For instance, in late January, the
British pound hit a 25-year low against the U.S. dollar.
The precipitous fall of commodities prices was a little more
understandable -- although certainly just as painful for
investors. Oil prices had hit a record price of $147.05 per
barrel in July 2008. We tend to remember oil's high price
because we were all stuck filling our gas tanks with
$4/gallon gasoline.
But oil wasn't the only commodity to hit new highs last year.
Aluminum and copper also hit record prices last summer. When
commodity prices tumbled, the metals fell the hardest.
But these two trends are starting to reverse. As the market
launched into its springtime rally, investors began to
abandon the U.S. Treasury market and foreign currencies
started to rebound. And metals, which many argued were
oversold, also began to recover.
In the chart below, you can see the fall of both the value of
Australian dollar and the London Metals Index through the
latter part of 2008 and the start of 2009. But starting in
late January, both foreign currencies, like the Aussie
dollar, and metals prices began to rebound.

This has been very good for foreign stocks trading as
American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and the
foreign funds and ETFs that trade on U.S. exchanges. As the
value of the U.S. dollar falls, the value of foreign assets
rises.
This has also been good for metals stocks or funds concentrated in
metal-related companies and commodities.
But it has been especially great for all the
Stock of the Month newsletter subscribers who
bought into the fund I recommended back in April. This fund
is getting the full benefit of both rebounding trends. I
bought this fund for my "Real Money Portfolio" only after I
gave my readers a chance to get in first. I never front-run
my investment recommendations. I'm up +26.6% on this
investment so far and I'm locked into a 15.1% yield. Of
course my readers are doing even better.
I still love this investment and look forward to even bigger gains
as foreign currency valuations and metals prices continue to
improve. And it's not too late to lock in this fund's hefty
11.9% yield.

Notes
The market for risky high-yield, or junk, bonds has gone from
ridiculously cheap to just cheap with remarkable speed. The
Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II index has narrowed from
a wide yield margin of 2,100-plus basis points over Treasuries
with comparable maturities in February to 1,232 basis points
through Thursday. Back in June 2007, the yield margin was a mere
241 basis points. (A basis point is one-hundredth of a
percentage point.)
