WAIT
Credit downturns are hitting certain markets a lot harder than others. Spain has had a tremendous run on the real estate boom and is now seeing the bust on the downside. Have also had some poor numbers. Thinks there will be earnings pressure coming onto it. Wait to see what the earnings look like next week. Cheap.

DON'T BUY
Wireless is a space he had invested in heavily in the past. A number of months ago, he exited this sector. There is still very good growth and predictable cash flows but earnings multiples have been compressed because of concerns about margins. Ultimately, this will be a space to go back to.

TOP PICK
More money is going into telecom right now and this is the largest Spanish telecom but they've also got wireless throughout Brazil and Latin America. 25% increase in dividend in the last year.

TOP PICK
Spanish telecom, also have assets in Latin America. Wants to get its dividend up to 2 euros in the next 5 years, which would imply a yield of 5-6%.

TOP PICK
Global wireless communications is another space that has held up remarkably well. This company dominates the phone business in Spain but is also greatly focused in Latin America. Predictable earnings. Not economically sensitive.

BUY
Spanish telephone/wireless company. Good Latin America and South America exposure. The premier global telco.

BUY
One of the few stocks in the world that the dividend growth is so visible. Broadband penetration in the Spanish market is only around 28%. Its Latin American market is only 10%. Have incurred tremendous costs to get these networks out and are now sitting back and enjoying the cash flows. Company's commitment is to double the dividend by 2010.

TOP PICK
The incumbent Telco in Spain and also has assets in South America. In 2005, the Company undertook a transformative acquisition by acquiring 2 companies and financed them by debt. They are now paying down the debt. The dividend is going up. Current yield is 4%.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 17/06. Up 15.8% plus 4% yield.) Good growth in wireless in Europe and Latin America. Still a buy. Plan to cut their debt in half and increase the dividend twofold over the next 5 years.

TOP PICK
Spanish telecom. Yield of about 4%. Have been growing in emerging markets. Free cash flow is greater than their need for capital expenditures. Trading at 5 X cash flow, which is cheap compared to other telecoms.
David DriscollOwned
telephone utilities
TOP PICK
Probably has the best organic growth of all the global telecom, simply because of the Latin American growth. Landline business is growing at about 8% and the cellular business is growing as well. 4% dividend.
David DriscollOwned
telephone utilities
BUY
Yield is just over 2.5%. Located in Spain, but biggest growth is from wireless in Latin America. Still has a long way up that it can go.
