Again, a telecommunications company based in a Latin country. I picked this one because everybody talks. Brazil is no exception. Communications companies are a needed part of society and house phones will never go out of style because the eldery do not LIKE cell phones. Even if they had them when they are younger...once you hit a certain age...they want a landliine in their home. Cell phones are too small for people with Arthritis, Parkinsons disease, and a host of other ailments that come with age.

I picked the Brazilian market because it is a smaller market within the European Union which right now is on top. Brazil has some gurreilla unrest but has been more stable in recent years. Brazillians are a proud and strong people and education is important to them. I think you can't lose buying stock there.

My response to your BTM pitch.

"Cell phones are too small for people with Arthritis, Parkinsons disease, and a host of other ailments that come with age."

My response: ????

"I picked the Brazilian market because it is a smaller market within the European Union"

My response: What are you talking about?

"Brazillians are a proud and strong people and education is important to them."

My response: I hope this is not your only criteria for buying a stock.


"Communications companies are a needed part of society and house phones will never go out of style because the eldery do not LIKE cell phones. Even if they had them when they are younger...once you hit a certain age...they want a landliine in their home."

My response: You are just stark raving mad. What about a landline with a wireless phone? Do the elderly hate phones without a cord because it makes them feel disconnected?

Overall: This is the worst bull pitch for a high quality stock I have ever heard.
