Any market has some risk

Brazil right now look much better then the US Stock market.

Multi national companies are closing their opperations much faster than they are opening them. Why? The cost of security associated with protecting executives against kiddnappings! The real continues to be strong against the dollar, and will continue to do so as inflation and high oil prices take their toll on the US economy. This means less exports as the US economy impacts the world, including the artifical Chinese currency. Yes it's true the Chinese gluttony for steel, oil and concrete have driven up global prices, but only a fool would think this will continue. And Petrobras is a Brasilian governemnet company rife with corruption and red tape, the stock is dangerously inflated, and the author encourages us to consider it. The elections are still two years away, and already the candidates are in full campain mode, their only focus is not the people, but re-election. Sorry, everyone, you can invest in Brasil if you like, but I would recommed running away from Brasil as fast as possible!

PRotection to Executives??

What are you talking about???

Bootleg Harry Potter videos on sale in New York

Bootleg videos of the first Harry Potter film are on sale for £3.50 in New York.

The poor quality videos are being sold by street vendors in the Rockefeller Centre.

The centre is just yards from the headquarters of the film's makers, Warner Brothers.

The movie officially opens in US and UK cinemas tomorrow.

Warner Brothers spent more than £85 million producing the big screen adaptation of JK Rowling's best-seller.

Two bootlegs purchased by reporters from The New York Post contained the entire 152 minute film.

One video had timer markings throughout, indicating it was shot with a camcorder, and the images were said to be "very muddy."

The second copy had a steadier picture and slightly better colour. Sound quality on both was "okay, but not great," the Post said.

One vendor said hundreds of copies of Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone - the film's title in North America - are stockpiled at a warehouse in New Jersey.

"I'm not rich but i own my house in Brazil (not the Bank) and i Own my beach house( My father worked hard for 35 year and left for us) and i own my small ranch House that my granmother ,worked the land for 40 years and left for my family"

LOLLL


LOLLLL

Good grief, more smug Yankees with their braggadocio (i.e., “Yea but after that 30 years I will have $500K in equity”) and general disrespect for people less fortunate (i.e., “Doubled your money from 300 real...to 600 real...wow” and “Ya, but you're still a banana picking f**king monkey.”). Folks in the US, born on third base and strut around like you hit a triple! You really are tiresome. Show a little humility for Christ’s sake.

I am married to a brasilian so I visit many times. I find some of the comments both pro American or pro brasilian is senseless most of the time. Yes, there is many pirated music/software/movies both in Brasil and on the streets in New York. If you buy it in the streets or download it I don’t think it really matters they are both illegal. In fact I believe it is just as bad or worse in Asia or Eastern Europe. Brazil is a beautiful country with beautiful people. It really irritates me to see so many Americans who make senseless comments about brasil especially since they never visited brasil. Yes, brasil is not perfect. What really irritates me about brasil is the very inefficient public sector. The exuberant pension for government workers and off course the local corruption, but other than that I think brasil is filled with very beautiful people, music and food. I wish most American would take some time and visit this great country. Many people fail to realize what America looks like outside the east and west coast. Go to the middle of the county and see how many people are struggling financially. How many are working poor? Poor diets (Obesity). I wish more Americans would travel and see the world is really much different than the misinformation they receive from our so call media.

Nice comments, chap.　Brazil is far from being a perfect country, but neither she is the nightmare that some describe here. Also, America is an amazing country, but far from being a paradise on earth.
We have a long way to go in Brazil, but I strongly believe that things are improving. People are more conscious of their rights and do not accept corruption as easily as in the past. We have a healthy democratic system (even tough we do not have strong right-wing parties, but that is a matter of time in my opinion) and people do not expect anylonger that the key for our development is a miraculous economical plan created by the government, but rather are steadily realizing that hard work and education will build up our way to development.
I have been living away from Brazil for several years and each time I return I get the feeling that things are, slowly, getting better and better.

So there are intelligent, sensible people who read these articles…Don't go away.

I also have a partner who lives in Brasil and visit as often as possible. I love it and have been fortunate to visit a lot of the country as far north as Forteleza and Porto Allegre in the south. I would like to spend more time there but.....
With regard to"some good some bad"
Firstly, i would not be too concerned about Pirated goods and rep**ations. Pirated goods are available in every country in the 1st world and takes on different forms. I have no worries about copying CD's, software or whatever and i live in England and earn a good income! As a business minded person the challenge is to sell value for money items that people want. The challenge to business is to find ways of controlling access and prevent copying. This will be done by technology. The "Market" will sort this out...in other words the responsibility is really on business to design against piracy with honest minded citizens honouring the creativity and hard work of those producing, this second part is harder to achieve.
Secondly, Americans have a habit of being Loud and a rep**ation of being ignorant of the world.
This is not really their fault and you should feel sorry for them. American media is very introspective and market focused. They represent 285million odd people of 6 billion so collectively their view is no worth much. Yes they have a lot of financial strength, create some good stuff, travel into space alot but, if you sit down and have a conversation with one of them, and unless your lucky, they will talk about 90 % rubbish and 10 % how well they do financially. ,dont listen to them too much...there position in the world will be overtaken by a very pragmatic China....(who by the way will not let them destroy their economy)...enjoy your own country and have a nice day

Cheers!

I'm an American married to Brazilian, who has been to Brazil exactly once and enjoyed it very much. I would even consider moving to Brazil to live, but my wife (from SP), is adamantly opposed. She says she'd rather be poor in the US than rich in Brazil, go figure. So, how can I convince her to give her old country another shot? I'm encouraged that some in this thread are positive on Brazil's future. I've heard that Curitiba is a "model" city for Brazil. I'm not necessarily looking for a model city, but a "livable" one, laid back people just living life, not killing each other literally or figuratively. Any place come to mind?

I'm buying up the top performing Brazilian stocks like PBR, RIO and CPL as long-term investments. I believe, like many, that Brazil is getting it's house in order and the best is yet to come. All the financial shows I watch from the U.S. also seem to be pretty positive on Brazilian market. The best Brazilian acquisition I made was marrying my Brazilian wife. She is my xucu fucinha and with her in my life I don't care if all my stocks go belly up.

Greetings from Connecticut.

I am close to getting engaged to a wonderful woman from Brazil.
Simple question: IS BRAZIL a good place to go to invest in property development? I have worked hard to create some spare cash. ALL the information I have suggests it is (subject to obvious concerns over local markets/petty coruption etc.). I believe Brazil to be one of the major countries of the future and suspect it to be FAR easier to make money there than in say USA or UK where significantly greater amounts of cash would be required to enter similar level of building development. UNbiased views sought.
