Brazil's GDP is 19% undervalued, because it's currency -despite having raised 63% against the USD since 2002- is undervalued. Pot de-coupling will see a complete change in countries positions in the league table. That points to you being a relatively poor Elroy. "...fair value for Brazil's real would be 1.54 reais per dollar, using a model that considers structured current account positions and capital flows. That compares with a spot rate of 2.0815 reais per dollar." I just seat down and my assets will go up. bloomberg.com

Here are some of the issues Brazil needs to tackle to build a sustainable platform for economic growth and a continuing bull market: --The tax burden needs to come down from current 50% levels. --Public spending needs to be cut but also redirected to infrastructure projects. --Corruption needs to be sharply curtailed and overregulation slashed, especially in labor markets. --Finally, Brazil needs to substantially improve its education standards if it hopes to compete head-on with India and China. This is the problems I see for Brazil to skyrocket. Not savings.
