Picks and Pans

Going global?  David Riedel thinks Brazil should be your first stop.

"Brazil is unique in the ability to fund itself, feed itself, and fuel itself," the emerging markets analyst told CNBC. 

"Talk about available land and water?  Brazil's got plenty of both.  Talk about commodity plays...?  Brazil's got plenty of iron ore, plenty of gas, plenty of oil."

Riedel also points to an economy driven by the emergence of a large consumer class, and the likelihood that its credit rating will be raised to investment-grade later this year.

Recommendations:

He recommends Petrobras [PBR  Loading...      ()   ], "the big oil company that seems to find new oil every time it turns around."

Disclosure:

Neither Riedel, his family, nor his firm, Riedel Research Group, owns shares of Petrobras, Sabesp, or Perdigao.
