Brazil: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 14:45:14
The Brazilian Bovespa market is off 9.0 percent in USD so far in 2005. I warned readers of Trader Wizard. I like what I see happening in the Brazilian economy, but there is a time and place for investing in all markets, and unfortunately the Bovespa just got far too rich for my blood in 4Q04.
After the correction in equity markets plays itself out in Brazil, and in the U.S., I would be quick to return to Bovespa stocks, particularly those that are also traded on the NYSE.
I think next to Canada and the U.K, that Brazil has done an outstanding job of listing its best companies in the U.S., mostly on the NYSE. In my opinion, Brazilians have done a better job than the Japanese, Russians, Chinese, Indians, and so forth.
Moody's apparently also likes what they see in Brazil with respect to the political and economic situation, with their latest ratings improvement. Still, the rating is four levels below investment grade.
I will be creating a sophisticated buy/sell model for Brazilian equities, and when this work is completed I intend to write on a weekly basis, an in-depth analytical report.
Already I have published a deep piece of work on Brazil for Trader Wizard. While I wouldn't yet call myself an expert on Brazil, I do connect the dots between equity prices there and U.S. interest rates and global commodity prices.
I did publish an investment report on a couple Brazil stocks, which, if I can figure out how to publish the pdf-formatted file on my blog, will be made available to readers.
In the meantime, you can be assured I'm watching the Brazil stocks monitor (NYSE listings):

Bill,
The simplest (only?) way to 'publish' PDFs is to upload it to your server and then just build a link to it. When a reader clicks on it their browser will display it, assuming they have acrobat reader.
