o que é a vale sem carajas? Um impasse entre o governo e a Vale ameaça o direito de exploração de Carajás, no Pará, a maior mina de ferro do mundo. O Departamento Nacional de Produção Mineral (DNPM) trava com o setor de mineração uma silenciosa guerra judicial e administrativa que envolve cerca de R$ 6 bilhões, valor ainda não oficial. O centro da disputa é a base de cálculo do pagamento da Compensação Financeira pela Exploração de Recursos Minerais (CFEM), espécie de royalty que incide sobre o faturamento das mineradoras... <>http://ultimosegundo.ig.com.br/economia/20>...

NYT: China / Australia - Where Iron is Bigger than Gold & Oil

I don't necessarily agree with the title of the piece, but it's an interesting observation within this New York Times story. For newer readers, let me remind how the Baltic Dry Index (a pricing index for shipping costs which now is seized by investment pundits as one of "the tells on global growth") has been completely dominated by the Chinese and their interest in iron ore. When they are making purchases - the BDI rises, when they are not so interested, it drops. [Feb 9, 2009: China and the Baltic Dry Index - What's Really Going On?] That's how weak global trade is - one country, importi...

I really like some of the products out of Van Eck Global's ETF lineup; we've covered quite a few in the past. One beef I've had is while we have a litany of individual Chinese companies to choose from with American ADRs, the choices in India, Brazil (and if you are are a gunslinging investor) Russia are far more sparse.

Two Earthy Investments for Earth Day
In honor of Earth Day, we looked at a few companies dealing specifically in earth, lots of it. Rio Tinto (ASX: RIO) and BHP Billiton Limited (ASX: BHP) are the largest diversified mining and resources companies in the world. While we can’t talk about their environmental impacts, which may or may not be great, we can look at their place in the global markets and the commodities cycle. It’s no surprise that they are stable barometers of the economic health of the world economy.
