Growing market, starting to stabalize. With the dollar taking a beating, foreign markets are the way to play!

For me investing in foreign banks is like an index w/ a dividend(in this case 2.50%!) Plus I don't have any hot Colombian stock tips! HAHAHA As banks go it looks solid.

What I like:
-nice high margin (26%) & 34% ROE
-Latin America is an emerging market
-Fantastic dividend, great 10 yr holding
-High earnings growth at 43% FY 2007 and 12.80% next 5 yrs. Add the dividend and you could be looking at a safe double or triple.

What I don't like:
-there is some debt in the company, common for a finance company, debt to equity is 0.43
