RuPa's Latin American Holdings: A Basket of ETFs and Other Funds
Summary: Surprising to us, our basket of Latin American ETFs and Closed-end funds have performed well in a rather rocky market since November 1. We're pleased with the result and may hike our holdings in these funds. Real estate is proving to be a sound strategy, especially in Medellin, Colombia. And our CDs are providing safe place to park capital while we're deciding what to do next, each earning about $500 per month.
