How to profit from the crisis in emerging markets

Talk of a crisis in emerging markets has created a great buying opportunity in Latin America, says James McKeigue. Here, he picks one stock with great potential.

As you know, emerging markets are not too popular right now. If you believe what you read in the mainstream financial press, they're on the cusp of a crisis that could bring the rest of us down with them.

Investors are panicked, and we've seen record capital outflows as they've rushed to get their money into safer' investments. A lot of the countries being talked about Indonesia, India, South Africa aren't places I know much about. For all I know everyone is right and they really are screwed. But when it comes to Latin America I do have a strong opinion. In fact I think all this talk of a crisis has created a great buying opportunity.
