Regional diversification and a slow but steady recovery in the Eurozone will carry this stock through. Patience will be a must, as events will cause volatility over the next couple of years. Buy now and be happy later.

The Spanish banking system looks fragile. I would stay away from STD for the present.

I am a HUGE fan of Super Mario, and think Spain will avoid Greece's fate. But even I would stay the heck away from any Spanish bank for now. There is a nonnegligible risk of the bank needing a bailout which would zero out the shareholders.
