Comments for Brazil Is Not Feeling that Immune to Global Crisis Anymore at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 8 out of 8 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Thu, 08 Jan 2009 19:17:31 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9995/1/#pc_17465 As suggested by the comments I have entered tonight in connection with two recent editorials in this blog, my pessimism has become so intense, that I find myself unable to adopt any outlook which does NOT conclude with a tragic, chaotic global scenario... Consequently, I shall refrain from any further comments lest I might negatively impact any remaining hopeful optimist who may accidentally stumble upon my extremely pessimistic remarks... - Augustus Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:21:13 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9995/1/#pc_17453 Joao, who was the only CONSTANT contrarian who ended up right, for grains prices, oil prices or metals prices and even ethanol ????? You were right all the time! I am not kidding!! [quote]How smart these American Junkies are, especially the one with the 2001 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science !!!!!! [/quote] May be Joseph Stiglitz also found his Doctoral degree in a detergent pack :D ;D So what are we going to do now to save the System, Ch.C? - João da Silva Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:26:34 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9995/1/#pc_17441 ...was also sure the US$ will continue to go DOWN...for ever ! How smart these American Junkies are, especially the one with the 2001 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science !!!!!! The title says it all......MEMORIAL !!!!! - A big parralel with the SP University Certificates found.....in a detergent pack !!! - A big parralel with the World Best in maths & Science & stats-probabilities who worked for Merrill Lynch, Lehman, Bear Sterns, WAMU, AIG, monoline insurances, Wachovia, Citigroup and those working in the EU banks, but also the ones at UBS. Sure Joao....I can prove you how the smartest cookies at UBS were !!!!!! Look no further than a chart of their stock prices,of how their spread sheets were accurate ! Even a 3 years old non educated yet kid will tell these World Smartest Junkies...that something doesnt add !!!!! Nothing had to be added, but everything had to be substracted !!!!! So true...that neither the yet non educated 3 years old child nor the World Smartest Experts in Finances have the slightest idea of what it will end up costing based upon their multi.millions US$ spreadsheets !!!! But dont kill yet the Americans Junkies. As I said they are by now the World Best Emerging Country. Just wait their currency to top in 2 to 4 years out !!!!! And then SELL IT AGAIN against the Euro or the Swiss Franc. Selling the US$ against the Swiss Franc will be a surer bet. Because after all, the Euro ex-Germany is not any better that the US$ crap on a secular basis !!!!!! And believe it or not, there is no nationalism in my comments. Just look at very long term charts since the early 1970's when the world ended the fixed exhange rates. Simple as that. Isnt it ? :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D - ch.c.

Just keep Looking, Maybe You Should Stp The Brazilian May not give you a Job if you have to Immigrat Down There! Have you see your economy?? - Dude Mon, 06 Oct 2008 21:12:13 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9995/1/#pc_17439 CH.C. answer is Nooooooo ! Stiglitz received a Nobel Prize. I did not ! Stiglitz WAS 100 % sure oil could go only one way : UP !!!!! He said so numerous times in many Middle East Conferences...not later than LAST SUMMER !!!!!!! And same conclusion for all commodities, wether be it for foods, grains, non ferrous metals etc etc due to China and India economic growth rates !!!!!! And most of these conferences were sponsored and re-transmitted by CNBC !!!!! :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D A few times I asked cynically are we in POP or in POP ! Peak Oil Price or Peak Oil Production ! And you all know what was the answer from the Brazilians junkies writing here. They just repeated what they read and heard, time and again, time and again ! Joao, who was the only CONSTANT contrarian who ended up right, for grains prices, oil prices or metals prices and even ethanol ????? Brazilian cheaters were red and blue faced trying to sell the Brazilian ethanol, since 2005, and telling the world sugar ethanol is competitive to oil at US$ 40-50 per barrel. Since then oil peaked at 3 times those levels, and is still at twice the approximate breaking profitability price. Right ???? Since 2005 what was the price of ethanol ? UP OR DOWN ???? And for the last 4 quarters, corresponding with the highest average in oil price, has COSAN made ONE CENTAVO of profits ??????? Brazilians always cheat, lie and hide. Proven just once more ! Ohhhhhhh but you did the same scams, cheats and lies with............. Teaks plantations, non fatty and superior meat : Ostriches !!!! Short memory ! And as I said many times recently : The more Petrobras finds LAKES of oil, under the ocean, the more its stocks price goes...DOWN !!!!!!!!!!! Are you so sure that after all it was not LAKES OF..... PURE WATER ????? ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D You see Joao, on a best case basis it could be oil. Stupid questions then : 1) Venezuela has PROVEN oil reserves of well above 200 billion barrels, and none as deep as the eventual/possible fields than those in Brazil. Right or not ? 2) At how much do you estimate the market capitalization of PVDSA if that company would be 100 % listed in an exchange ?????? 3) 200 billion times US$ 50.- (conservatively) ?????? That would make a market cap of US$ 10 TRILLION !!!! or close to 100 % of all the companies in the USA ????? 4) Lets be more conservative, and use Us$ 25.- per barrel ? That would still make a market cap of US$ 5 TRILLION ??????? Come on Joao, come on. I thought you would be smarter than that !!!!!! Dont tell me your brains are made of the Brazilian LINUX software ! So far I have a higher esteem in Joao brains, than in the Brazilian LINUX software that Lula the idiot is so proud of !!!!! In my view this software should be called NILux ! :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D - ch.c.

I urge all our fellow bloggers to stay cool during this crisis. I am sure our Minister of Finance is taking some extraordinary measures to bring back the situation to normal. ;) - João da Silva Mon, 06 Oct 2008 17:11:09 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9995/1/#pc_17434 Since the Bovespa is now down over 12%, more than any other market in the Americas. - Ric Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:59:14 +0100
