| Buy Latin America
When investors think of trade in foreign markets they usually think of Europe or the Far East. Rarely, if ever, do investors think of Latin America. It is an overlooked, underfollowed but robust market opportunity.
I may be dating myself, but I remember the furor the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) caused when it was signed in 1994. That covered Mexico, rather than the entire Latin American market, which is stronger than ever today.
Given the underfollowed market, it should come as no surprise that opportunities abound, if you know where to look. I have long talked about the future of mobile communications as one that has serious legs. Combine that with the burgeoning Latin American and other emerging markets and you have a winning combination.
I am not the only one who thinks so. Ask the management team at InfoSonics Corp (NASDAQ: IFON - $1.68). InfoSonics provides wireless handsets and related products to OEMs, carriers and distributors in Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific. The company designs, develops, manufactures, markets, sells and provides after-sales support for its own proprietary line of products under the verykool® and other private label brands, primarily throughout Latin America.

Making Money on a Big Drop
Supermarket stocks have always been hard to digest. Margins are slim, differentiation is difficult, and competition is fierce. While they can be good defensive stocks in inflationary or deflationary environments, they do not make good investments. With Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) dominating the space, it makes it that much harder to make money.
Tell that to SUPERVALU, Inc., (NYSE: SVU - $2.96) which, through its subsidiaries, operate the third-largest chain of grocery stores in the U.S.
Investors were shocked yesterday with news of the serious troubles at retail and wholesale food powerhouse SUPERVALU, Inc., following the release of its 1Q13 results. Frankly, the list of issues is long and the enormity of the issues is daunting.
Sales and profitability are down, with income dropping 45% for the most recent quarter. Management has suspended all financial guidance, along with its dividend. Capital expenses are being slashed and the Board hired Goldman Sachs and Greenhill to pursue strategic alternatives including a possible sale of the Company.
First, though, a review.
