Yet, I had you in mind while reading this article, which contains and addresses the essence of the only things I could believe ==> Empirical Data based on Scientific Research The machine is the $10 billion Large Hadron Collider, or LHC — the most powerful, most expensive particle-blaster ever invented. On Wednesday, Europe's CERN particle-physics lab is due to start shooting beams of protons through the LHC's 17-mile-round (27-kilometer-round) ring of tunnels beneath the French-Swiss border CHC better watch out on WEDNESDAY with the machine (operating underneath Geneva) will be turned on LINK ==> http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24525554 <b></b> - AUGUSTUS Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:21:50 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9860/1/#pc_16737 Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and say he is a great actor Not only a great actor, but also a first rate salesman. ;D - João da Silva Sun, 07 Sep 2008 19:25:38 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9860/1/#pc_16735 (the idiotic President of Brazil Sometimes it does make you wonder?...Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and say he is a great actor ;) - dnbaiacu Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:17:25 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9860/1/#pc_16728 The news brought me not only pleasure but also relief that "some wisdom" exists in Brasilia despite so many former (recent) blunders! The previous bloggers (and the article) provided the necessary justifications. I fully support all of the previous views above. Hopefully, there will be consistency in this important diplomatic and politico-economic (wise) decision, and no further revision will be contemplated (considering that the idiotic President of Brazil has repeatedly express his view that Brazil should joint OPEC) - AUGUSTUS Sun, 07 Sep 2008 15:30:47 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9860/1/#pc_16718 There is no need for Brazil to join OPEC an organization which is becoming irrelevant as more non member countries step up their oil production, plus the yearly membership fee is best spent on education in Brazil. - The Guest Sat, 06 Sep 2008 14:36:00 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9860/1/#pc_16711 A logical absurdity. . .I was thinking more of $99 instead of $112. . .a year ago oil was $30 a barrel. . .what great event determined that oil should be $150. . .speculators. . .it was the ability to buy a futures contract with little financial risk. . .that and the evironmentalist entrenched industry in America. . .but with the promise of off shore Gulf and Atlantic Floridian shelf drilling, as well as Palin's pipeline and drilling in Alaska and the massive investment in natural gas and natural gas pipeline. . .the price of gas will be between $89 and $115 according to Bloomberg's Singapore's bureau interview with the economic banking minister of China. It is better to sell 10,000,000 barrels at $99 than to sell 5,000,000 at $110. What is the real cost of a barrel of oil out of the ground $5. So it is better to make $950,000,000 profit then $550,000,000. What is the diplomatic and economic good will worth? It is Chinese wisdom to help your customer in difficult times, not to step on their neck and take every dime you can, merely because you can. Where is the intelligence in creating resentment in your customer, of weakening your customer? It is the nature of business to be cyclical, it is wise to invest in the next cycle. Give the world discounted oil, make it up in iron ore, soy or chicken. You better sell what you can when you can at the price you can and invest it in infrastructure, before your government renationalizes Petrobras in the name of some humanistic socialized Ponzi scheme and instead of being oil rich you find yourself oil poor. - moody et al Fri, 05 Sep 2008 23:46:46 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9860/1/#pc_16707 Brazil should sell at whatever price at whatever volume, now. . .raise the price later once you have established the customer base over time, a beneficient diplomacy of petro trade. . .you can buy from anybody; the EU has made a tragic mistake partnering with the Russian Bear. Chavez is equally duplicious. These are people that cannot keep a contract. Great suggestion and I am sure Sergio would appreciate it. So we sell our oil for $30/Barrel and Ethanol for $18. You are a great diplomat, Moody. - João da Silva Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:28:13 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9860/1/#pc_16705 Brazil should sell at whatever price at whatever volume, now. . .raise the price later once you have established the customer base over time, a beneficient diplomacy of petro trade. . .you can buy from anybody; the EU has made a tragic mistake partnering with the Russian Bear.

BVBEA - forrest allen brown Fri, 05 Sep 2008 16:32:22 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9860/1/#pc_16694 It is the NEED for oil not the arbitrary price of it that determines its consumption. China will subsidize any price. OPEC is irrelevant, at $10 or $20 oil maybe they were useful, but at $100 they are as useless as tits on a boar. Nobody is going to tell anybody whom they can sell too and at what price. It is a sellers market. - moody et al Fri, 05 Sep 2008 15:07:25 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9860/1/#pc_16687 Why should the country join after OPEC screwed the country in the 1970's and '80's. Now OPEC is all suddenly buddy-buddy because Brazil has discovered up to 70 Bil. barrels - ....

[/quote] And this is highly unlikely CONSIDERING who the members of OPEC are. And THAT considering the "Cold War" is being revived. - dnbaiacu Fri, 05 Sep 2008 12:39:30 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9860/1/#pc_16683 And it was even sillier for OPEC to extend the invitation. OPEC is future trouble or on the "other side" of the revived "Cold War" spectrum. Give Brazil SOME credit. Not as if they could join OPEC IF they wanted to. The same UNKNOWN entity that is behind the Eurozone, UnaSur and the future North American Union is what Brazil has to answer to. OPEC ? NOT! ;) - dnbaiacu Fri, 05 Sep 2008 12:31:54 +0100
