6 South American Stocks Offering Interesting Opportunities Graphic_rating_buy SID

in 461 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.

We are keeping our Buy recommendation on Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (SID). We are
encouraged by the company s solid 2007 results, even though fourth quarter figures were slightly below our expectations. Also, the news regarding the
increase in iron ore prices was positive. The economic environment in Brazil remains encouraging despite the Central Bank s recent decision to stop cutting interest rates. Moreover, the demand from China is still strong; the Casa de Pedra project is on
