MercadoLibre, Inc. (MELI)

Similar to Ebay, but potentially much more opportunity for future growth because of the emerging economies of South America. Ebay owns about 15% of the company. Outperform.

latin america room to grow

Down 15% percent today. I'll take that.

Ebay of latin america. Pure play on that markets future wealth. Longterm buy. I'd wait a few days to see if drops any further in real life before I'd buy. But in CAPS, I'll choose outperform now. I'd take at look at GMarket too.

big problems at home with credit and slowing growth! Latin America will keep growing at 5% or better Y/Y........MELI will get notice by Wall Street For it's future growth Y/Y.........eps will reflect this..

This is going to outperform many stocks near-term and long-term.

It's the ebay of South America who wouldn't want ebay at the start.

great potential

Just following the front-page advise on this one.

ebay of sa will deliver

Googles counter part in Central america. MELI will see the same growth as Google as seen the past two years.

alexa.com (a tracker of internet usage statistics) reports yesterday that mercadolibre.com was visited by .115% of the entire world's internet population. The one week avg. is .106% and the three month avg is .08895%, these statistics show an increase of 45% over the past three months. Now the average page views are not astounding at only 1.3 unique page view per visitor (while ebay hits about 15 unique page views per visitor) and mercadolibre doesn't rank nearly as high in site visited ranking to its countries as eBay does to our own country. I do see that mercadolibre reaches a portion of the latin american world that eBay does not and that is mostly in Columbia, Argentina, Peru, Uruguay, and Ecuador. Venezuela competes directly with eBay in internet ranking and eBay seems the dominant choice for those in Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic. It seems that MELI is only adding more business and growth to eBay's already amazing success story and that eventually I do believe eBay will entirely consume Mercado Libre so that it can deliver their service to these other countries that do not visit the eBay.com page. According to internet usage growth statistics it seems fair to say you could see a 194% (rough estimate) increase in total visitors to mercadolibre.com this year which will ultimately lead to higher profits and increased eps possibly reaching as high as $0.19 for the 4th qtr of 2008. These is my analysis for a raised guidance from the investor relations portion that mercadolibre seems to be ignoring. I believe we could see up to $0.13 eps for 4th qtr 2007, $0.14 eps for 1st qtr 2008, $0.15 eps for 2nd qtr 2008, $0.16 for 3rd qtr 2008 and finally $0.19-$0.20 eps for 4th qtr. 2008. This stock is a buy at at $45 without blinking. A strong balance sheet and low overhead indicate a strong future. Now lets just hope they're advertising since I can't see the tv commercials in Columbia and Argentina.

Ebay for Latin America. It should work

Buying on this dip, will bounce back.

?donde esta la bibliotecha? es en mi pantalones

The play on SouthAmerican EBAY.

A no-inventory service business in developing nations, and backed by eBay? This can't lose!

If it doesn't excrete golden eggs, I'm not going to pay 100 times earnings for it.

This stock is poised for long term big gains.

Taking advantage of a down day to get in on this one.
