Just last week, one of those Fools, stockstar69, succinctly summed up the Oi bull case for our community:
Well established in Brazil. [Portugal Telecom], among others are big backers and need Oi to stay alive as an investment tool. Dividend is huge. ... [S]ecure dividend rating and Morningstar rates this stock a 4 star buy.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Oi may not be your top choice.
