How my hard-assets are treated: Every month construction prices are adjusted to reflect the increased prices of construction materials and labor. 25 items are considered: cement, bricks, aluminum, iron labor, etc Unitary Basic Cost (CUB in Portuguese) CUB-PR registra alta de 0,42% no mês de março no Paraná.(In march it increased by 0.42%) The house that is in the market this month is now x% more expensive to take into consideration the costs of construction. It is an index that works state by state. See please the variation of the previous months. debit.com.br I do my pole climbing here safe that all my hard assets are not being eroded by construction-specific inflation. My hard assets are in Brazilian Real. See how the Real has behaved against the USD in the last five years finance.yahoo.com. Besides that, as I said to Moon, incomes are rising. Rising incomes (it enter in the CUB as a % of the salaries increased for the construction workers) means more people can by houses and I turn any hard asset in a liquid asset. As the government has interest rates of 11.75% inflation is reined and the economy is solid. I seat down and relax. But not only that. I am inside a boat that is being raised by a tide. 5% growth every year henceforth. The stuff the country exports are chased by the other emerging markets and I can relax even more. Petrol prices? Who cares? moi? With all that ethanol there and self sufficiency in oil? Food prices? A problem? You’re joking right?
