    The usual mixed messages from the Cinderella of SA!

    I don't think she will ever go to the ball if this abysmal performance goes on much longer.

    It's the usual problem for the commies: give money away to the “poor” and the lazy sods won't work; tax “capitalists” and they close the business, throwing people out of a job and reducing the tax take.

    What to do? We all know what needs doing but the commies hate capitalism, stupid, stupid bastards.

    Absolutely, and if they want to get back on track they'll have to take a good dose of medicine. Things are crumbling presently.

    UNemplyment at a record low ??? If they were to count - and am pretty damned sure they don't - and add those who have given up looking for a job, in the unemployed figure, am quite sure Unemplyment would be at a record high.....It's just like Obummer (in the US), don't count the dozens of millions who aren't looking for a job any longer, because they just can't find one....and Brazil's PT government is a master at publishing lies...on unemployment, inflation, crime, soccer stadiums will be ready by June 12...you name it...

    Brazil is on the right track. The dollars that have gone to Brazil was speculative money.
    I took advantage and bought shares of Vale and Petrobras in Bovespa. Will I receive dividends on 20% of that investment. However, I'm not speculating, only filling the void of foreign money left. I'm enjoying it!

    “give money away to the “poor” and the lazy sods won't work; tax “capitalists” and they close the business, throwing people out of a job and reducing the tax take.”

    Hey moron, that's exactly what camoron is doing in the UK, take money away from the people and give it away to the zombie banks. Brazil is more capitalist compare to that socialist hell hole called the UK.

    Back from Holland after topping up your three month visa stay in the States then?

    And where in your bit coin utopia does money come from? The tooth fairy I suppose.

    No, you twat, it is earned by the independent businesses that employ people to work for them (and earn money for themselves while working).

    WTF did I say zombie banks you Zombie?

    Your girlfriend told you it was all over when you tried to make up I bet. At least she can see what a loser you are. She has just the right name for you being a “little” irritant in the wrong place: pequeña pulga.

    Ha, ha, ha.

    Brazzo (yr#4), “Brazil is on the right track” (????) ...not so sure about that, but anyway, so you believe that only speculative capital comes into Brazil ? not true...capital for new investments also come in, admittedly at a far lower rate than 2 years ago, because Brazil's bureacracy and red tape discourages 'would-be' investors who end up going elsewhere.....also, what do Petrobras shares have to do with UNemployment ?? and last of all, if your capital manages to “filling the void of foreign money left”, either very little (speculative capital) has left, or you must be bloody wealthy....whatever, but if you're happy...
