Is Brazil “Investment Grade” for Individual Investors?

“Standard & Poor’s just boosted the country’s credit rating to ‘investment grade’ in recent weeks, moving its rating from BB+ to BBB-. Why should we care?

Mitsubishi’s airplane gambit

From Russia with Love: Medvedev means profits

Profit from Oil Prices: Invest in China

“Here in China, they’re using fuel at an accelerating rate.

Ltd., are producing inexpensive, gas-powered cars for the masses.” [...]

Foreign Investment: Should HBoS follow Royal Bank of Scotland’s lead?

“That’s a huge amount of money. It’s so large that it’s tough to get a handle on just how much money it is. Let’s just say that if a company with a market capitalization of £12bn was added to the FTSE 100 this morning, it’d slot in somewhere around [...]

Dollar weakness: Strong euro threatens European industry

Blogger’s Note: The record low exchange rate of the dollar against the euro and yen is seen as a harbinger of doom for the U.S. economy.
