"It's time to buy Gabelli Global Gold, Natural Resources & Income Trust (NYSE: GGN) a closed-end management investment company that seeks to provide a high level of current income," says Bryan Perry.

The growth and income expert -- and editor of The 25% Cash Machine -- highlights the high-yielding play on gold and natural resources.

"Back in December we sold our position in GGN for a 45% gain in two months. But at that time, I promised to jump back on board after a sharp pullback, since gold is going to be a good inflation hedge this year and could hit $1,000 per troy ounce. Well, now it is time to buy back into GGN.

"Preferred stocks were smoked with the credit markets in the latter part of 2008, to a point where the definition of 'capitulation' was rewritten for all time.

"One of the sectors I want to buy when it's on sale is the coal business," says Bryan Perry, editor of The 25% Cash Machine. Here, he looks at Fording Canadian Coal Trust (NYSE: FDG).

"Fording Canadian Coal Trust is an open-ended mutual fund trust and one of the largest royalty trusts in Canada. The trust makes quarterly distributions to unitholders using royalties received from its 60% interest in the metallurgical coal operations of the Elk Valley Coal Partnership.

"Frontline Ltd. (NYSE: FRO) is the 'mac daddy' of the oil transport business," says growth and income expert Bryan Perry, who has added the shares to the model portfolio of his 25% Cash Machine.

"Frontline is doing a much better job of executing profits in the current market for transporting crude oil. FRO posted first quarter results that showed a jump in profits of 40%, with a dividend hiked to $2.75 for the quarter. That translates into a current annual yield of 18.25%. Even better, the company forecasts continued strength in operations and quarterly distributions.

"This kind of profit growth is a result of FRO being leveraged to the spot market for day charter rates for double-hull tankers. The company is by far-and-away the largest shipping company, with 76 vessels and a market cap of $4.4 billion.
