Summary

• Today, we will briefly examine MercadoLibre, Inc.'s recent quarter, which, curiously, precipitated the recent prolonged selloff the stock has experienced.
• I use the word curiously because, as we will explore together, the report was phenomenal: In my eyes, there was nothing negative of note in it.
• In short, MercadoLibre's Q4 2023 was fantastic; in response to which, the market has traded the stock down to one of its lowest valuations *in the company's history*.
• And I believe this represents an opportunity for long-term investors, though, of course, I'd love to buy it even lower, and, with rates rising, we very well may get better swings.
