Brazil Receives S&P Credit Rating, Becomes New Opportunity for Investors

Would you like to grow your “safe money” by 225% over the next three years while collecting 9% annual dividends? Here’s how to do it… by Sandy Franks, Executive Publisher, Taipan

In a shocking move, Standard & Poor’s has upgraded Brazil’s credit rating, lifting the country to “investment grade” for the first time in history.

The upgrade sparked a 6.3% rise in the index of the Sao Paulo stock exchange, or Bovespa, which soared to an all-time high of 67,868 points.

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, basking in the investment upgrade, said it was a “magical moment” for Latin America’s largest country.

While the upgrade is good news for Brazil’s economy, it also presents YOU with a remarkable opportunity.

In fact, if you’d like to grow your “safe money” by 225% over the next three years while collecting 9% annual dividends… then please pay special attention to this “ground floor” investment opportunity.

Let me bring you up to date on the situation. Until Brazil received its recent credit rating, the country was considered a high-risk investment only for the brave and the bold.

The South American nation was strapped with billions in debt, and many investors believed the new leftist president would ramp up already-high government spending.

Consequently, many of the big institutional investors waited on the sidelines. But not anymore…

The ongoing commodity boom has flooded Brazil with cash. The economy is growing leaps and bonds.

An estimated 20 million Brazilians have emerged from poverty on cheap credit, welfare checks and tax breaks, helping to forge a new middle class that in turn is fueling strong consumer demand.

And S&P’s investment upgrade is a signal that Brazil’s stock market is off to the races.

The upgrade will make it possible for a wider universe of international investors, including massive U.S. pension funds, to plunge into the Brazilian stock market.

This means that Brazilian stocks will see an influx of cash. For investors, this is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of some of the amazing opportunities you’ll see coming from Brazilian companies in the coming months.

It’s really simple: Because of S&P’s upgrade, one of the most lucrative stock markets on the planet is now also one of the safest!

If you’re looking for a safe, simple way to grow your money – and collect great income – Brazil is an essential addition to your investment portfolio.

Not only that, but investing in Brazil is a great way to PROTECT YOUR MONEY against the falling U.S. dollar, the slumping U.S. economy, and the risky U.S. stock markets.

And because Brazil’s economy is growing leaps and bounds, a modest investment today could grow fivefold in the coming years.

Let me put it this way: To ignore investment opportunities in Brazil would be a horrendous mistake that could cost you dearly.

Of course, the best time to invest in Brazil is right now. While the news of Brazil being an attractive investment opportunity is just now making headlines, our team of editors has already alerted readers to the situation.
