For instance, consider the iShares MSCI Brazil Index (EWZ) surged over 74 percent in 2007 and has posted an average of 56 percent over the past three years. In addition, China’s stock market in 2008 has declined almost 20 percent, while Brazil’s Bospeva Index has increased well over 4 percent, showing super resiliency.
Brazil has been stellar economically with a growth rate about 5 percent per year. The country also has a very healthy foreign trade surplus, large foreign reserves, a robust currency and as mentioned earlier a strong equities market, which are all good reasons to look to invest in this nation.
