Stock Market

So, maybe you need to invest in the Stock Market. Where should your money go? The US? Europe? Maybe Brazil, huh?

Europe's stock markets have gone up only 1,5% during 2007. Paris had a 1,3% rise during the whole. What does it feel like to know that you've invested your money for a full year and when you get it back, it's worth less than when you jumped in the process? From the tip of my mind, I can't really remember any country with a inflation rate smaller than 1%.

Okay, now for the good news: Brazil's BOVESPA had a 43% rise during 2007. That's quite some money coming back to your pocket. Better than that... in 2006, BOVESPA went up by 33%. Since 2003, it has gone 300% up. Four years and you could have trippled your patrimone.

That's one of the reasons to invest in Brazil. :)
