Even though nation's key Bovespa Index is up 535% since 2003 -- almost nine times the return of Standard & Poor's 500 Index, Brazil is not perfect, around a third of Brazilians live in poverty, but growth around 4.7% and a sharp drop in inflation have made a middle class a bit richer that is buying wireless phones, traveling or going to college. The world's biggest exporter of raw material is highly dependent of global economy too.
It's a question of sustainability and whether a global economic slowdown would temper growth in this emerging market.

VIV recently turned a quarterly profit. Improving fundamentals and the appeal of a mobile phone play in Brazil may send this ADR to test $10.
Brazilian equities have had quite a run up but although a pullback is likely, the upward trend for brazilian stocks is likely to continue for several months.
EWZ tracks the Bovespa and is a fine way to play this uptrend. I am also taking small positions in NETC (CABLE, VOIP), VIV (a cell phone service provider) and SBS (a water utility)

Supermodel Stock Index Update: Celebrity Models Outperform the Dow
|
|
|
Two top modeling celebrities, Gisele Bündchen and Heidi Klum, both of which had celebrity stock indexes created by Stockerblog.com, have had their indexes updated and compared to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The one thing that these women have in common, other than the fact that they are wealthy, successful supermodels, is that both of their indexes have outperformed the Dow over the last two and a half years.
Their indexes are based on the companies that they are connected to in some way, such as acting as celebrity spokesperson.

Gisele Bündchen, who was named by Forbes Magazine as the top earning supermodel and Guinness World Records said that she is now the richest supermodel in the world. In 2007, I developed the Gisele Bundchen Stock Index, which contained the stocks of companies that Gisele is connected with, such as being the celebrity spokesperson. At the time, her index was outperforming the stock market. I have updated the index to the present time, and noticed that Gisele has continued to outperform the Dow Jones Industrial Average significantly.
