- New Risk-Taking Is Good for Gafisa
- Trader Mark submits: It has been very difficult to stick with any mid-cap or smaller international names as they have been completely bludgeoned. Emerging market stocks seem to all trade in one big horde - and in a country like Brazil when commodities are in favor, any stock in the...

- China: Recovery or Just Slightly Improved Data?
- Trader Mark submits: While I've been a proponent that emerging markets will actually lead this eventual global recovery, the evidence for recovery thus far is more or less all based around some slightly improved Chinese data.

- Buying Some Gafisa on a Share Offering
- Trader Mark submits: I was wondering why Gafisa GFA was only one of a few of my small or mid-cap international stocks on my watch lists that was down; apparently there is a share offering, but I didn't see that until after I purchased some shares. I picked some additional...

- Gafisa Earnings Weaker than Expected, but Does It Matter?

- Buying Gafisa on a Bank of America Downgrade
