A Massachusetts man was shot to death in a bar fight with a Brazilian policeman, police said Saturday.

Joseph E. Martin was killed...

As a person who spends most of his time lurking on this site, I felt a bit compelled to write tonight. I've been to Brazil 13 times since 2002. Nine of those times to Rio. Unfortunately, my...

You've got to be kidding. I hear this sort of foolishness from time to time, but there's no place for it on this board. We've got to be smarter than that to adequately protect ourselves.
...

Agreed. Additionally, it's clearly important to wear a raincoat. Yet, I'm of the same impression that you are: This person wrote the report for the sake of its impact and not because it's likely...

Sorry, someone's going to have to give me either the name of the plant or the chemical name of the extract for me to buy this. The problem with using this sort of thing is that the attackers would...

I understand what a single/double is . . . but what is a triple room?

Thanks!

Real MD here. It's best if you get this looked at. The sooner you treat it, the better it is for you and everyone involved. Your chances of recurrence, according to some literature, is reduced...

So, finally, the exchange rate is beginning to look better for those of us with US dollars. Of course, it's only occurring because BRAZIL is being fiscally responsible . . .. but, hey, . . . more...

So, does that mean that two of us will be getting free L'uomo entrances when our predictions come true.

I'm willing to step up behind my predictions. . . . entrance to L'uomo is on me if I'm...

I'll go one step better:

I'm betting that by June, the Real will be at or very close to 2.50. I also think that Brazil will work diligently to get it stable somewhere around 2.75-2.85. A this...

You're to be congratulated for correctly defining the direction of the movement towards Jan 1. You were absolutely right.

However, I'll go on record predicting that we're at the bottom now. I'm...

Dec. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said the government will make certain the nation's currency weakens as a 22 percent gain against the dollar this year threatens...

Dec. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Brazil's real may weaken for the third day in four after the central bank said it will sell so- called currency swap contracts as it tries to slow the real's 20 percent advance...

Good conversational interp, Chingon. BTW, if said "tourist" is a reader of this site (and reading now) . . . you're probably an idiot. ("probably" = Always leaving room for another explanation. ...

I was hoping that you would not be offended by my comment. I really wasn't intending to suggest naivete. Still, when I've had a couple of drinks in brazil, my cognitive skills are often...

Genghis Khan,

I know that we've never met & that I may be way off base here . . . but is is possible that you may be misreading your environment as a consequent of the alcohol, complicated by...

Yes. It's good for you and maybe good for Brazil. The predicted impact is that the Real will weaken while the Dollar will strengthen. This will make their products more marketable overseas as...

Door wasn't completely closed and the room was dark. In retrospect, one less rum and coke . . .

I was there in September as well. Yes, they added a few very nice girls. I thought it was...

Damn, this is pretty cool. Unfortunately, I used the card thoroughly a couple of times (erasing each time), so the program was not able to find the images. But I really appreciate this...

I don't suspect that he's wrong (I think he may be correct). However, I think that over the next year, a turn will begin in favor of the dollar worldwide.

I was such a wimp.

I got one of the K-models in with "the book." While she was in the shower, I took snaps of the book. Unfortunately, she caught me because of the flash. DAMN! Sat there...

First of all, I was quoting another economist's views. I failed to put in the quote and for that, my apologies. I was not intending to plagerize his writing. It was: Richard Lapper, Latin...

The resilience of Brazil’s economy in the face of political scandal, high interest rates and the world’s strongest currency, may finally be coming to an end.
