http://feedproxy.google.com

1With all the seriousness as of late, here is a bit of humor.  Well maybe not for George Soros, but for the rest of us.  It appears Mr. Soros made some promises of an Upper East side NYC apartment (allegedly) that Ms. Ferreyr expected him to deliver on.  I assume if this promise was not written as a contract there is no merit to the suit but its entertaining for us small people.  The lawsuit is $10M - which in George Soros land is known as $10 (his net worth is estimated to be $14.5B)

Brazil, a great investment to add to your portfolio?

http://www.intelligentspeculator.net

The U.S. economy is turning into that cousin nobody really likes. We put up with him because he has money but he smells kind of funny and at family gatherings he drinks too much and ends up telling bad jokes.

http://www.forexblog.org

Well over two years have passed since the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the accompanying climax of the credit crisis. Most economies have emerged from recession, stocks have recovered, credit markets are strong, and commodities prices are well on their way to new record highs.

Bad Week for Gafisa (GFA) - CEO Resigns Just Ahead of Paltry Earnings Report

http://feedproxy.google.com

As highlighted last week, it has been a tough year for Brazilian stocks.  That said, it's been an especially tough year for Brazilian homebuilder Gafisa (GFA) - tougher still if you go back to the November high in the $17s.   One thing you never want to see is the CEO resign.  Even worse when it happens within 24 hours of your earnings report.  But that's what happened here.   One wonders if the stock is close to washing out as I cannot imagine the news cy
