What are some good reasons to invest in South/Central America? It only seems to epitomise the middle-income trap.

If you accept the idea that America will always apply the Monroe Doctrine and will always flex to keep its hemisphere in line (and I do), then you can profit by reading Mexico and Bolivia as the new sources of out sourced labor and Peru, Ecuador, Venuzuela, and Chile as places we strip mine of their mineral wealth.

Mexico actually has a very diversified economic portfolio compared to the rest of Latin America, and will be a key player in processing all the raw petroleum derivatives American refiners spew their way in the next decades. Bolivia is now what Mexico was to us in the 1980s, a place for basic, cheap manufacturing not an ocean away with a generally favorable political relationship to Washington. The cartels are a problem, but they are more and more getting into real estate, legitimate manufacturing, and even politics, which is basically what happened with the mob in America. They made more money by becoming part of the system, and everyone else got arrested or killed.

Obviously the US needs to satisfy its bottomless hunger for lithium, copper, silver, and petroleum, and will continue to run glow ops in the region to keep them flowing. Any threat of nationalizing mines is a buy signal
