Well, that's quite the comfort. I'm just a college student with some money stashed away and was considering using my knowledge of Peak Oil to do something practical (buying a farmhouse is not a option)with that knowledge. I don't have the cash to invest big "on brazil", so I've picked up a couple of companies that I think will do good (Petrobras and Vale, the mining company). Any other recommendation on investing "on Brazil"? Government bonds? Other companies?

There's a "Brazil ETF" (sorry don't know the ticker...)

I reckon Clean Energy Brazil are also a good punt...
