Brazil, A Hellhole For Investments

To date Brazil ETF is one of the worst performing international ETFs.

Since the gross manipulation in energy contracts

Paying thru the nose for airport services does not help either.

Productivity per capita flatlines...

Protectionist measures taken by the government prevent citizens from getting
cheaper and better goods/services. Brazil is known as a large-scale consumer
of subpar Chinese goods.
