  • MELI
    Mercadolibre
  • $31.00
  • -2.67%
  • $31.97

Tiger Global owns 9.8% and Lone Pine owns 2.42%-- Mercadolibre is a great play on the wealth expansion theory. With Latin American income raising, people are going ot want to invest their money—MELI is a play off that. Also, they are involved in integrated online payments—A bit like an online Master Card. I would buy the pullbacks

Another name worth looking at is SAIC (SAI) which is owned by both < Eminence-Capital Eminence Capital Lone Pine Capital.

Near its 52-week low SAIC has lots of synergistic ties with the government; most of its 40,000 employees have high level government clearance, something other large defense contractors cannot boast. Though total earnings per share are still under $1 for 2007, SAIC is poised to “win” additional business from the government in the coming years

  • TCK
    Teck Cominco Cl B
  • $40.26
  • +5.81%
  • $38.41

Teck is owned by Atticus which owns about 4% of the company. Despite the rally in industrial metals and minerals teck is near its 52-week low. Some people believe that shares have been under pressure due to its copper and zinc exposure; zinc has been very weak as of late and copper will fall if we truly enter into a global recession. At these levels with a forward PE of 7.8 it seems like a natural takeover target from the likes of BHP.

  • EQR
    Equity Residental
  • $42.41
  • -0.40%
  • $42.50

Watch out here; this is a publicly owned real estate trust. If we get a 50BPS cut on Wed. I would buy this—Sports a 5.1% yield and is near its 52-week low. Trades at less than 2x book value – D.E. Shaw owns 3.26%

  • NIHD
    Nii Hldgs Inc
  • $51.01
  • +0.79%
  • $50.81

Well off its highs of $90+ NII Holdings provides wireless communication services for business and individuals. In short the stock has been killed as recession fears cut might cut into the companies EPS. NII has some cool products like their Nextel Direct Connect service, which is used but almost every blue collard worker
