  1. Is he doing this because of customer redemptions or because it's his own opinion? Will bond futures rally 4-handles in the next few days? :D

    Why do I fear all this good news about Brazil?

    Because of the amount of “hot money” that is flooding Brazil.

    The real increased by 34 percent versus the US dollar in 2009.

    The Brazilian stock market had the best performance in the world in 2009.

    And so forth….

    I would suggest that the Brazilian Central Bank reduce the Selic bank rate (Fed Funds rate in Brazil) right now to discourage the “hot money” from going to Brazil.
