Oi S.a. (NYSE:OIBR)

Well established in Brazil. PT, among others are big backers and need OI to stay alive as an investment tool. Dividend is huge. And even if the dividend is cut by three quarters the dividend will still be 16%. M/L is neutral with a secure dividend rating and Morningstar rates this stock a 4 star buy.

Large demand for infrastructure in Brazil

there is currently a 2 year wait to install new lines according to people I know in Brasil!

OIBR and OIBR/C shares for me are the result of Tele Norte Leste Participacoes (TNE) merger on 4/12/12. Earnings - 5 quarter downward momentum. Price trend looks like a bottom. Stock down 45% in the last 52 weeks. Down 65% from S&P 500 over 52 weeks. Stock yield 20.2% (Columbine Capital), 19.6% (Motley Fool), 59.7% (Fidelity). Ford Equity - HOLD with operating earnings yield of 13.4% ranks above 95% of other companies in Ford universe of stocks. Ford suggests above average performance in the next quarter. Eva Dimensions - OVERWEIGHT. Shares held in TRAD IRA so I will hold out for upward momentum and yield since I cannot claim a loss. Original purchase of TNE was for the dividend yield.

possibly oversold

fundamental ratios look fabulous

Brazil is an expanding market. The middle class is growing and in need of communication services to meet their growth demands. South America, specifically Brazil, has a better chance to weather a global economic crises than does the EU or the US. They are generally not dependent on the USD or Euro, both of which are rapidly loosing value. In the longer term, I see South American as the last great frontier of financial opportunity.
