Three Long-Term Investments in Latin America

Thanks Mark, for taking the time to read and comment. I'm not that familiar with how an Australian would buy these stocks. Besides trading on the various exchanges in Latin and South America, they also trade in New York as ADRs (Basically, they trade in US dollars, like a US stock would.) The tickers that I have listed in the article are for US Traders. If your accounts allow you to buy American equities, this would be the easiest way. You'd have to worry about how the Aussie dollar did against the US Dollar, as part of your evaluation as well. Let me know if this was the type of information that you are looking for.....

In terms of Chile, I also once believed that it had a reputation for corruption, like many countries in South America. That couldn't be further from the truth.....while it has had some issues in the 70's, it is now a very safe place to invest, and prosper.

FYI -- I've made some good money over the years, owning Aussie stocks. From Macquarie Infrastructure, to BHP Billiton to Commonwealth Bank, I've been happy with the performance for sure!

Cheers
Larry
