If you mean USA products, Brazil has almost all products being soldeverywhere. \n\nSao Paulo has 21 million of inhabitans and a lot of multinational companies. You can fined everything there. Other regions, specially in North and Center-West you can find some lack. \n\nBrazil has almost the same size as USA so its natural find discrepancies between north and south, same found between Alaska and Miami. \n\nBrazil doesnt have some special regional products (like Nuit's dry meat) or most recent High Tech products to the usual consumer's. About industry, probably Spacial industry and most recent design products. \n\nEverything else you can find there.\n\nPrice about those things are completely diferent issue.

There's nothing stopping you from buying in your home country. Why is it so important to mortgage it as a primary residence? If better rates is what you are after, there are brokers that can find you a very good deal. If you have family in the US (partner and children, or parents) who do not own a property, then you can try to purchase as a primary home so they can live in, but I think that will depend on how long you are staying in Brazil for IE, the Length of your contract there.

Nice choice with italy. I've always had a soft spot for them and would want them to do well. I'm for brazil and am pretty satisfied with them as well. That is a good question though, I'm interested to see the answers

It depends what you invest in. US t-bonds will give you about 5%, German bonds 8%, and Brazil 12.5% or so (no capital gains taxes in Brazil either!). Of course, as you can guess, though, the higher the reward, the higher the risk.

Vote with your wallet. Nobody makes you buy overpriced, under-performing cars now do they? Import one of those nice Brazilian number and have a great time.

I would say Brazil because they are not tied to the hip and dependent on the US economy. It is also interesting that Brazil seeks to build up diverse sectors of industry unlike many other raw material rich nations.

"To be sure, the trend toward international mergers carries with it some costs and risks.  One of them is, in fact, the danger of lost jobs as corporate titans eliminate duplicate departments.\n\nFurthermore, investors are at risk in a couple of ways. One, disclosure laws and accounting standards aren't always as rigorous in other countries as they are in the United States. That can make it tough for investors to assess whether it's a good deal.\n\nFinally, because most of the mergers are being financed by stock, investors have a stake in the combined entity's success. Yet, every merger is full of risks, and cross-cultural differences amplify the potential pitfalls, Wynne said.  For instance, Germans get far more vacation time than their American counterparts. American workforces are generally more diverse than those of other countries. And managers may face constant suspicion that one country is getting jobs and investment capital at the expense of the other."

According to the CIA World Factbook, Brazil has the ninth largest economy in the world at purchasing power parity as of 2006. Brazil has a diversified middle income economy with wide variations in levels of development. Most large industry is concentrated in the south and south east. The north east is traditionally the poorest part of Brazil, but it is beginning to attract new investment. Brazil embarked on a successful economic stabilization program, the Real Plan (named for the new currency, the real; plural: reais) in July 1994. Inflation, which had reached an annual level of nearly 5,000% at the end of 1993, fell sharply, reaching a low of 2.5% in 1998; it was 6% in 2000. Brazil successfully shifted from an essentially fixed exchange rate regime to a floating regime in January 1999.

Very promising: it's packed with talented, and what is important, young players. \n\nArgentina, along with Brazil are always the teams from South America to watch reason why there is such a great rivalry between them. \n\nThis Argentinian team is coming to the World Cup very strong but is much quiter than the last one they under-achieved. \n\nI expect them to make it to the Quarter finals at least.

Yes. Foreign direct investment is the sum total of all inflows from offshore coming into a country's asset holding. Country's risk determine the level of these inflows. If the business risk in a ocuntry outweigh expected return, ofcourse, no rational investor will be expected to bring in funds for investment.\n\nTake for example, at the wake of Iraq war, many foreign investments were liquidated from the greenback into the Euro economies because of perceived risks. The net foreign flow was therefore reduced due to percieved risks.\n\nI remember mostly asian economies announced a selloff of dollar denominated assets prefering to hold the euro assets. Country's risk has a direct im pact on direct investments. Other risks also include inflation etc.\n\nHope this might help.
