| | | The Impact of Scandal
It is said that a good reputation is more valuable than money. If that is the case I can think of a few organizations and companies that have lost quite a bit of money recently. Interestingly, it seems like it's a good news/bad news scenario. While companies and organizations have lost or stand to lose money, most remain in decent shape and appear as if they will persevere.
Penn State University, its leadership and its most revered figure, the late Joe Paterno, had their reputations slammed following the release of an independent report that unearthed a culture that enabled a pedophile to get his jollies unchecked for over a decade.
As seems to have been the case for a number of years now, scandals and missteps at large or burgeoning financial institutions continue to weigh on the sector, with no end in sight. This overriding characteristic continues to be an overhang on the financials space that is attractively priced for the most part.
What is troubling is that the top tier seems to be the most susceptible to scandal or missteps. Until this stops, confidence will remain on the sidelines while avoidance and derision rule the day.

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.
