The largest cement producer in the Americas. Losing money for the last 4 years because they leveraged up on debt just before the financial crisis. They refinanced the debt in 2011. Not the best way to play Mexico because they floated their Latin American housing business as a separate subsidiary and that would be a better play. BNS-T might be an even better way to play Mexico.
One of the few banks that did not blow themselves up. It is still below where it was after the recovery from the financial crisis. Stick with it. Decent yield. He would not move to a US bank.
