They are not printing money like it is going out of style

Brazilian market has come back strong, Real is well managed and it is the strongest of the emerging markets. US Dollar will continue to be under attack under current administration.

This is probably the best currency in the world. The Brazilian Central Bank is a heavy inflation fighter and tries to keep the interbank loan rate above 8%. Compare that to less than 1% in the United States. That means that every night when Brazilians go to sleep their money makes a little less than 8% just by sitting in a savings account because it had to be lended to another bank. This security is similar to a money market so we get to join the fun.

I am very surprised that Americans are complaining about banks not lending when they can just buy Reals and collect ridiculous amounts of interest.

As the value of the Real will only grow against the dollar, I look forward to finding more Brazilian investments in this truly top notch country.

The dollar will collapse, Brazil has the olympics in 2016 and a few other large events in the coming years. There currency will strengthen and the etf will flourish.

This is my hedge against deflation. Should the stock market and other major asset classes continue to decline I believe this ETF to be somewhat akin to holding cash, however it's a currency that has stronger fundamentals than the US dollar. Brazil has a budget surplus, manageable inflation, well-capitalized banks, a solid trade balance, and a growing consumer base. Should the dollar collapse, holding foreign currency seems like a better idea than stocking up on cans of beets, armor piercing bullets, and an array of firearms.

In real life, I hold Brazilian Reais. On CAPS, this ETF will have to suffice.
