GFA: Bull or Bear?

Homebuilding in Brazil: 'Hot sector in hot market' Graphic_rating_buy GFA
+0.19%
in 28 days

Filed under: International markets, Brazil, Newsletters, Stocks to Buy

"Gafisa S.A. (NYSE: GFA) is a bet on Brazil; the company is the country's second-largest homebuilder," says international investing expert Nicholas Vardy.

In his The Global Bull Market Alert, he adds, "Brazilian homebuilders are a red-hot sector in a red-hot market. Brazil is one of the strongest-performing global markets this year, and one that you should definitely have exposure to in the final quarter of 2009.

<>"Brazilian homebuilders are a red-hot sector in a red-hot market. Stocks in this sector have already doubled the...

This market will drive a sane person batty at times, I have to tell you. Remember about 2-3 months ago, every day oil dropped people ran into technology stocks as a "safe haven"? We were shaking our head sadly and saying, how is this a safe haven... in time this will be proven to be a false assertion. But that did not stop the stocks from running up 5-10-15% each time oil dropped a few bucks as hedge funds had to find something to "play". Remember, as we always say, perception is reality. Until reality strikes. Lately we've seen poor earnings from Dell (DELL), we've seen bad news out ...

Global Q&A: Battered emerging markets worth a look, consider Sohu or Gafisa Graphic_rating_buy GFA

in 440 days

Filed under: China, Brazil, Stocks to Buy

I am the Global Editor at MoneyShow.com and each week I interview an investing expert. This week, I spoke with Paul Goodwin, Emerging Markets Specialist and Analyst, Cabot Heritage Corporation. Paul thinks there may be bargains in battered emerging markets.

Q. Emerging markets have been beaten up and the Russia/Georgia conflict, unfortunately, points out one of the problems with investing internationally -- uncertainty created by government and political actions. How can investors protect their portfolios?

A. Every investor should follow the usual advi...

One name we did not have time to get to last week is Brazilian homebuilder Gafisa (GFA) and its earnings report. The full pdf file can be found here - it is quite comprehensive. Some highlights

    6 South American Stocks Offering Interesting Opportunities Graphic_rating_buy GFA
    +3.20%
    in 460 days

    I thought I would put up a list of some interesting South America stocks for a pair of reasons. First as you can see from the chart above of the ETF for the Latin America 40 (ILF) that the region’s stocks have pulled back significantly over the recent few months. Second, I have a strong interest in the region and keep my eye out for interesting stocks. I hope to point out a few here you have not heard of or considered.

    Investors throwing the baby out with the bathwater...  GFA will move in a northeasterly direction as homeownership grows along with a growing middle class in Brazil.

    GS wrote a note on Brazil's central bank rates dropping in 2009 making homeownership more favorable, and Brazil's growing economy allows for strength needed to drive up home sales.  GS recently switched from sell to neutral, which means it's time to buy before everyone else does ( http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/category/topicarticle.aspx?f... ).

    Today's stock selection:
    GFA  Gafisa S.A.
    Inspired by:
    Brazil: GDP soon to surpass that of Canada
    <> Brazil is far more than Petrobras ( PBR ).

    A number of investors consider Brazil to be little more than another South American backwater. Most don't think of Brazil at all, when developing comprehensive portfolios. Perhaps this is an oversight.

    I consider a valuable reference source of quick data to be the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) " World Factbook ".
    Information on every country is readily available, simply by typing the name into...
