Riding on Chile's Recovery Wave Post Elections
Issue #16
Latin Stock Investing | March 2, 2010Dear Subscriber,
Over the last twelve months, copper prices have surged more than 115%!
After the earthquake US Secretary Clinton met with Chilean President Michelle Bachelet. It was a clear sign that Chile is important to the U.S. not just for natural resources but also as an active participant in President Obama’s upcoming nuclear security summit. Chile's economic and political roles in the world are growing.
But for now how much higher can copper and materials stocks go?

Resource Rich Latin America is the Place to Invest
Issue #9
Latin Stock Investing | August 3, 2009Dear Subscriber, There's never been a better time to invest in Latin
America's resource-rich stocks.
Today, the US Dollar index fell to the lowest level since
September of last year. This makes commodities and
currencies even more attractive as more US dollars are
required to pay for these. You can create real wealth for
yourself if you act on these trends. I know you may be distracted by the Nasdaq hitting 2,000
and the S&P 500 crossing 1,000 at the beginning of this
month. But take a minute to consider the following three
investment ideas.
A shrinking US dollar creates opportunities
Issue #7
Latin Stock Investing | June 10, 2009Dear Subscriber,
Will new global currency reserve measuring schemes kill the US dollar? The discussion about new special drawing rights at the IMF reminds me of the time I brought my new borne twins home. My older son celebrated his new sisters but within a week he was asking me when they were going away. Eventually a new order was established but not without intermittent squabbles along the way over the next two decades.

First Oil Flows from Brazil's Giant New Field
Issue #6
Latin Stock Investing | May 12, 2009
Watch out! Don't dive into oil stocks today based on headlines about deep-water oil drilling. I would like to say that investing in PetroBras (NYSE:PBR) has been a winner for investors with a long term investing approach, but the at Friday's close, the stock is trading at the same point that it was before PetroBras announced the massive oil field discovery in November of 2007.
What gives?

Issue #5
Latin Stock Investing | April 9, 2009
Who would have thought more IMF lending to Latin America could be considered a good thing? The leading Group of 20 Nations Summit promised to add $1 trillion to the lending power of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. This capital adds extra resources for trade finance and creates another global growth engine. Naturally, the direct winners are likely to be the most viable emerging and developing countries. Ultimately the leading nations are the real eventual beneficiaries as they will experience higher activity too.

The US stock market is for fools! The Dow Industrials Index just broke 7,000 posting a 22% year-to-date loss! Be prepared for Dow 5000 - it could happen. If you had bought all 30 Dow stocks ten years ago and held them like your broker suggested, you actually lost money. Which way is the market headed next?
