CSN is an integrated steel producer with global scale and also a miner of iron ore, limestone, dolomite, and maintains stakes in the power and railroad industries.  Wait!  There's more!  They also make cement, manages investment funds, and ports. 

This is a nice entry point as it is way off it's 52-week high of  $52.46. 

<> I like the company because it's inexpensive(forward P/E of 8.77), has little debt, is experiencing tremendous demand for its products( 5-yearsales growth is avg. is about 25%) , and is a very well run business overall( 5 yr. averages for ROA, ROI, and <>...

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
track; and we believe Brazil will reach investment grade within the next twelve mont...

    Market Vectors Brazil Small-Cap (BRF): A New ETF for Exposure to Brazil
    Tradermark
    34%
    I really like some of the products out of Van Eck Global's ETF lineup; we've covered quite a few in the past. One beef I've had is while we have a litany of individual Chinese companies to choose from with American ADRs, the choices in India, Brazil (and if you are are a gunslinging investor) Russia are far more sparse. In an increasingly flat world, I do believe demographics will be destiny as after we covered the 4th most populous country in the world two weeks ago [May 22, 2009: Guest Post - Indonesia; A Must Own Emerging Market] - let's now look at the 5th most populous.

    Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional: Are Poor Earnings an Indication of Brazil's Market Bottom?

    The 1st quarter earnings release for Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional [CSN] (SID) is linked here. I like CSN for its exposure to the Brazilian manufacturing market and huge EBITDA margins. Revenues and profits for the first quarter were down about a third from a year earlier as the Brazilian economy slowed due to the global economic crisis.

    At the same time the stock of CSN, as traded on the NYSE, is up over 50% so far in 2009. It seems the value of this quality company fell a little too far.

    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.

    Mechel (MTL) continues to grow, grow, grow - more money, less problems… ;) (those of you above age 35 … that probably went over your heads) This news could be the source of the recent weakness (some dilution after all)

  • Mechel (MTL), Russia’s largest coking coal miner, could raise over $2 billion in a preferred share placement in Frankfurt and Moscow that will price by July 22, a source close to the placement said on Thursday.
  • New York-listed Mechel, also Russia’s sixth-largest steel maker, will launch a roadshow on July 2 after announcing the placement on June 23 or June 24
