What is wrong with The World Bank? They interviewed Wolfowitz (somebody rejected somebody) and now they're interviewing Carly Fiorina. It is one thing to fail. It is another to hire failure and incompetence. Of course, I don't think Carly has that killing people for a lie thing working for her the way Wolfie does. <G> That stuff is really popular in the rest of the world.

Cerrado land, looks like a five year development project situation to get the Ph in the soil set up for soybean growing. Might be some access issues in some place too. Here's a site, let me know what you find. agbrazil.com

Can anyone help this guy? The following was sent to me from someone on my board on the FOOL: I've been following the postings on real estate on this board. I too tend to think residential real estate is in a bubble. However, due to certain tax consideration, I might need to purchase income-producing property. Therefore, I would like as many informed opinions as possible as to possible reasonable investments - not as likely to go down but likely to produce income. For instance, perhaps hotels, particulary, in places like Hawaii (due to the relative increase in Japanese tourism) might be okay. What about the real estate market outside of the united states. Are there investment companies that specialize in purchasing real estate investments, and which are the good ones? If you have any ideas,I'd love to have input. Thank you in advance. craftmacorini =================== Here was my initial reply: I would not get anything here in a bubble area especially Florida, California, or Hawaii. Other than that I can not tell you. Off the top of my head, Brazil or Costa Rica might be OK but remember I am totally guessing and prices have run up there too FOR SURE. There is a GLOBAL property bubble IMO. I will cross post on SI but my advice would be to WAIT! Mish
