Latin American Discovery Fund, Inc. (LDF)

CAPS Rating:
*****

A non-diversified, closed-end management Investment company.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Latin America is outperforming other emerging markets, china, gold, and pretty much anything else right now. This small-cap closed-end fund is a great way to take advantage of the trend without having to micromanage every new development south of the border.
Great P/E, RoE, and the dividend is just ...More

I love these types of funds. Great way to diversify overall holdings and open portfolio up to potential for large gains. Risk is inherant, especially with a foreign discovery fund, but if you have the ability to wait for long term returns I expect that you will be profitably rewarded with this pick. Central and South America has great potential, seeing the examples of Chile, Panama and Brazil should give some of these other countries a kick in the pants.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
