Crazy! HSBC put BRL240K into my account.
200K for a house 40K for a car.

Do you believe that? They are dangling money in front of people or them to get into Rest of the World way!!

Brazilian everywhere in Mid-town Manhattan stores. In droves took the plane to NYC to buy clothes and stuff.

Saw three families together in the plane to CTBA. All back from Disney.
And Experiment told me:

"They are talking just about brands"
Fathers saying: "we are just bracing for the installments and the credit card charges."

Most travelled on credit I can infer.

This thing will go Madrid and Lisbon way...

I feel I bought oo much. 6 shirts abnd two trousers. I have clothes older than Experiment. Most were bought last century!!

My TV? One CRT thing since we do not watch much TV at home.

do not blame me for any debt overload..

Canada and Brazil Taking on U.S.-Like Characteristics in Debt Exposure

seekingalpha.com

I just need a one-day exposure here to see it the day beofere yesterday.

Taking on big debt load is to work against one´s self interest.

The hallmark -for Elmat- of a stupid person is one who works against his own self interest. Thus...

Brazil macroeconomic policy makers must act now.

While Canada has low rates to fuel indebtness, Brazil is on a debt spree at 10,75% rates!

What will happen once interest rates go down, as it is the goal of Mantega and Dilma?

My flight back to Luanda returned to S. Paulo due to technical failure. I´m stuck at the hotel.

Last night after the reality show I needed a drink.

Jack Daniel/Coke at a S. Paulo hotel: USD 16,70
