Unspecified

The CEO was replaced by the government. It has a good sized resource base so there is upside in spite of the political risk.

DON'T BUY

He's worried about PBR, because Chile just nationalized all its lithium businesses.

DON'T BUY

Given its yield and growth rate, you'd buy this, but PBR is in Brazil and that matters. Can't trust it at all.

TOP PICK

Petróleo Brasileiro S.A., better known by the acronym Petrobras, is a state-owned Brazilian multinational corporation in the petroleum industry headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The companys name translates to Brazilian Petroleum Corporation — Petrobras. Social media mentions are up 1100% in the past 24h.

DON'T BUY

Concerns about management independence. Stay away. Political uncertainty is way too high.

Unspecified

It is an important global producer of light sweet crude oil which is better for the environment. It has become a better company over the years and is 51% owned by the Brazilian government. Should be OK if oil prices stay higher. Also does refining and marketing at local levels. Part of the question was on the 30% dividend yield. Dividends in a company like this are not handled the same way as dividends from North American companies. Look at the payout ratio and consistency as well as how profits are paid out.

DON'T BUY

If you see where you can buy oil & gas stocks, Brazil probably isn't the most stable place. He'd recommend sticking closer to home and not run into geopolitical issues.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly PBR is Brazil's national oil company. It is the producer of some of the most prolific offshore reserves in the world. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio of 65%. It trades at 6x earnings, compared to peers at 25x and is trading right near book value. A good holding for global oil prices being sustained and an emerging market play. We would buy this with a stop loss at $7.00, looking to achieve $12 -- upside over potential of 20%. Yield 2.98% (Analysts’ price target is $11.83)

COMMENT

She is light in oil, because the US shale producers have come back a lot faster in terms of production. That is more than offsetting whatever OPEC is doing on the cutting side. This company is very inexpensive, and has great assets. Management has laid out a plan to divest non-core assets, pay down some debt and right size their balance sheet. If you have a long-term time horizon, this is a good risk/reward. There is some near-term noise around Brazil, which will be a bit of a headwind.

COMMENT

You can’t really talk about this without talking about Brazilian politics. This company has very, very extensive resources. Unfortunately, they also have a lot of debt. A very levered play on oil prices, and a small move in oil will result in a big move in this company.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 26/15. Down 130.15%.) He closed this off about a month after he had recommended it, because oil started to ramp up. The company had an extremely high debt load and oil prices looked under pressure. Also, there was a corruption scandal going on. The company has slashed their CapX to the bone and were able to keep their free cash flow on side. The story has improved materially.
