Day 5

Great last class, covered a lot of interesting topic and dive into some interesting economic discussions.

We have discussed the characteristics and opportunities in the UK and how Brexit can leave a significant implication on many businesses and prospects for investing.

Across the ocean, we also took a deep dive into the major South American economies.

• Brazil, characterized by its impressive growth in the last decades.
• Argentina, lot of interest in high-risk, high-return investments.
• Panama plays a vital role in the global supply chain.
• Chile, resource abundance and solid economic performance.

We covered  the economy of Canada and what they mean for the long term development of businesses in different sectors.

We also explored some very serious systematic problem regarding organized crime and wide-spread corruption in Mexico.

This course covered a wide-range of topics that will be very useful as you consider investment just beyond opportunities presented in NASDAQ or NYSE.

I hope to see you again in the future.
