| WATCH | China Mobile Hong Kong | CHL-N | 54.710 | Sold her holdings last year because she saw cracks in the horizon regarding profitability and future CapX. Penetration is almost there. Even the rural area, which was supposed to be the growth, is actually fully penetrated. Consider buying at about 30% less. 3% yield roughly. | 2008-09-03 | ||
| SELL | Embraer EmpresaBrasileira | ERJ-N | 34.650 | Since 2002, the company has had a declining path of returns. Returns now are below their cost of capital because of currency. | 2008-09-03 | ||
| BUY | Vale S.A. | VALE-N | 24.990 | One of her top 10 holdings. Commodity cycle will have to play itself out. However, outlook is still very strong because their main customers, the Chinese, have not dramatically reduced the consumption of steel. On a long-term view, you will be rewarded handsomely. | 2008-09-03 | ||

| DON'T BUY | China Telecom | CHA-N | 48.390 | Would not consider this stock. D rating because they have fixed assets that are continually being cannibalized. | 2008-09-03 | ||
| DON'T BUY | China Mobile Hong Kong | CHL-N | 68.660 | Sold her holdings when she saw little cracks on the horizon. These have now come into play. Includes changes in the regulatory environment. Government requires G3 implementation and they don’t have the CapX to do it. Also forced mergers by the government. Not sure of the sustainability of profits. Too expensive. | 2008-06-17 | ||

| DON'T BUY | ICICI Bank Ltd. | IBN-N | 37.330 | Doesn’t seem to have any sub prime issues. Her rule of thumb on banks is to look for those with 2X Price to Book. This one is getting there. Not sure interest rate increases in India are over and this will have negative consequences on lending growth. | 2008-06-17 | ||
| Comment | A Comment -- General Comments From an Expert | A Commentary | 0.020 | Turkish Economy: Strong emerging market in 2008 and for years to come. Stocks trade at about 8X forward earnings with very handsome dividend yields of about 4% and 5%. | 2008-06-17 | ||

| DON'T BUY | Tata Motors Ltd. | TTM-N | 12.250 | Used to be a darling of the Indian equity market. Not been able to reap the benefits of an improved execution.
