Aw, Phooey! Latin America Stocks are Swimming in Gold! What's a Duck to Do?

Hot Tamale! Latin America's Cookin'!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! This is Donald Duck reporting live and I gotta tell ya I'm hotter than a jalapeno! Why? Because Latin American stocks are on fire! The iShares Latin America 40 ETF (ILF) has jumped over 25% this year! That's more than twice the speed of my nephews Huey Dewey and Louie when they are after a free lunch! And that my friends is something to quack about!

Golly! Country Specific Rockets!

Some individual countries are doing even better. Brazil's up 27% Mexico's soaring 29% and Chile's chillin' at 25%. Peru and Colombia are also waddling in dough! It's like they've found Uncle Scrooge McDuck's money bin only without having to dive in and dodge those pesky coins!

Trade Tensions? Phooey! Latin America's Laughin'!

Trade tensions are throwin' the global economy into chaos but Latin America? They're laughin'! They are so resilient it's like they are made out of rubber...or maybe just really good burritos! Mario Mesquita from Itau Unibanco says they've become 'a little bit more boring'. Boring?! More like brilliant! They are so smart it's like they have Gyro Gearloose advising them!

Reserves Risin' Troubles Defyin'!

These countries have been stockpilin' currency reserves like I stockpile cookies... when no one is watching of course! Brazil's got $319 billion and Colombia saw their reserves jump a whopping 119%! All this extra money is useful to deflect any pesky tariffs that try to ruin their party! Talk about being prepared! These Latin American economies are tougher than Uncle Scrooge when someone tries to touch his number one dime!

Cheap Stocks? What a Steal!

Not only are they doin' great but their stocks are cheap! Bank of America says Brazil's Bovespa index is trading way below its historical average. It's like gettin' a whole pizza for the price of one slice! And with corporate profits expected to grow it's like hitting the jackpot!

Wanna Join the Party? Here's How!

So how can you yes YOU cash in on this fiesta? Well there are those ETFs I mentioned earlier. EWZ EWW ECH EPU and COLO. They all have fees of course...because nothing in life is free except maybe Huey Dewey and Louie's freeloading! Or you can buy individual stocks like MercadoLibre. Anyway the moral of the story is... Latin America is where the party is at! So grab your sombrero and get ready to samba all the way to the bank! Aw Phooey! I'm outta here!
