Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (ADR) (NYSE:PBR)

should do very well in the coming years, good time to invest in brazil with the dollar sliding.

pbr is moving from my watch to to buy & hold min 3/5 years. looks poised to make a huge jump in next year to 18 months-fool on!!!

the amount of reserves plus the overall strength of Brazil in commodities-producing companies (agriculture, mining, petro/ethanol) means it is well-positioned to supply infrastructure growth both domestically and abroad

shares sell at 20% premium to PBR-A but get the same dividend.

Good earnings ahead.

Oil is still the king in the energy sector. They are a solid performer and it will take two to four years for alternate energy sources to make a difference in the mass market.

Major energy producer, both fossil fuels and sugar cane based ethanol.

Brazil is perhaps the strongest of the emerging markets, and oil is still king. Great value at this point.

It is showing strength vs. other stocks of its type. It's only a matter of time before oil inventories get low, then demand will rise again, and very fast.

Held in mutual fund, real money.

Global demand will pick up eventually!

A play on both a recovery in oil and on the Brazil story. Brazil is the real deal over the long-term when it comes to emerging economic superpowers, and energy is going to be a big part of that. PBR also has the added advantage of having a healthier balance sheet than a lot of their competitors. With Venezuela's (newly re-elected) government doing everything it can to ruin its economy, Brazil is in a strong position to emerge as the regional energy powerhouse. This bodes well for PBR.

Oil and gas may be deep in to it right now, but long term as the world economy pulls itself up by it's bootstrapes, oil will make a comeback. Alt energy is wonderful, but it will take many years for it to make a significant dent in the use of oil. The days of easy extraction of oil are gone and some of the petroleum resources ie oil shale will require prices above $80 long term to exploit them economically. Oil fields around the world are showing decreases, some major, in their output. I am also convinced that OPEC is actually seriious this time about toeing the line on production reductions to try to drive the price of oil to the $70 mark or better. long petroleum 10 to 20 years!

Brazil OIL soon to replace Venezuela as OIL exporter.

It looks like PBR and/or the Brazil gov is agresively preparing to sell you the oil that you are going to need in the near future
the numbers look pretty good, I think I will stay here for a while

Speculative pick. Tremendous upside, but with considerable risk. If PBR is able to overcome their issues this one will be a real barn burner.

because of oil, a lots of oil

Oil will go back up. Just a question of when.
