@burningbushcap $CIB is a quarter of the Colombia ETF, $AVAL is 4%. Need folks to go stock-picking in individual names, right now, people are mostly buying the index.

$GPRK GeoPark breaking out after news it is expanding into Venezuela. Sin of omission for me: I sold my position in 2025 and never re-entered. https://t.co/aR4XtkYvHX

I think my $ORR position is too large because I made the same mistake I see a lot of investors on here make. I didn't have enough good ideas, so I bet too big on my best idea.

This hypothesis was wrong. We now have earnings from $LX $QFIN $FINV, and they all were terrible noting a late June credit event in the industry. Downtrend has continued, and will end when it ends. https://t.co/X86cYvTk0h

@davey_juice @ThainRos $EWZ might go lower. I don't have a strong opinion on where big components like Vale and Petrobras go, could be down more. I think $INTR and $NU will keep growing fast enough to offset macro jitters.

@davey_juice @ThainRos I own a lot of $NU and $INTR but think Lula is going to win, so that's not ideal. Flavio polls look a little better, but he's still a bad candidate. Colombia only went to Abelardo by 1 pt. Lula is incumbent, more popular than Petro, and their electorate is more leftist.

@davey_juice @ThainRos I remember someone wanting to bet me that Nigeria would outperform Colombia over the long term. $COLO now +150% past three years while the Nigeria ETF got delisted, so yeah, about that.

@2suns2moons @bold_perception $CIB dividend up from $2.25/year in 2022 to more than $6/share now. Covers a lot of living expenses. If you relocate to another country, good to own some stuff there so you have an economic stake if its conditions improve...

@siyul $LX had a bit before but really sized up today. China fintech lender that either adapts to changing regulations and emerges ok, or gets wiped by credit cycle. Bet is the former. Reports Aug 31.

@Nobilis_Capital @boujee_banker @HettyGreen2020 I can walk to three different Ara's ($JRONY) from my place in Colombia. Omnipresent. If I run out of eggs, bread, milk or whatever just go grab it in a couple minutes rather than getting in my car to go to a big store.

@boujee_banker @Nobilis_Capital @HettyGreen2020 I own $FMX and $JRONY (which owns one of the Colombian ones). $TBBB trading at a huge premium, but they get to 10000+ stores eventually will still work for you.

Market doesn't care for $PAGS earnings. I thought they were fine. Still long and may add. https://t.co/00u7Uy3BOO

@shortbus_ace @akeemcap @QuietProsperity $CAAP is 6x EV/EBITDA and no Mexico. But half of EBITDA is from Argentina, so that's its own can of worms (albeit the Argy fees are charged at a fixed USD rate not Peso)
Ian Bezek on X
@shortbus_ace @akeemcap @QuietProsperity Sheinbaum doesn't leave office until 2030 so that's a reasonable bet, though maybe you get clipped in 2029 once the pre-election hope cycle starts up. Underlying EBITDA will grow 12-15%/year like usual (faster at $ASR with the M&A) so stocks can still work in the interim.

@Tintincapital @29374736ahshsv @flippyfloppy52 @smurfkonto1 Ha, no worries. There were some real concerns around resource nationalism in Chile recently, especially with $SQM so that's understandable.
