Apr 06th, 2015 - 08:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0The “Children who Rule” Brazil just cannot get why all the fuss is being raised.
Apr 06th, 2015 - 11:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is how things are done in SA and anybody who invests here needs to understand that. OK the amounts are huge, but so is Brazil! :o)
I do not want to sound rude, but the amounts invested by these foreign funds are negligible by the standards of Petrobras and Brazil.
Apr 06th, 2015 - 11:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0Moreover, as my way of seeing the world is more to the left than to the right I believe the fewer there are financial links between South America and the West, less speculation and meddling in our internal affairs there will.
Será que é tão difícil perceber que nós não queremos fazer parte do mundo de vocês? Essa ações legais só vem fortalecer nossa determinação.

Apr 06th, 2015 - 12:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You do not understand without investment you will not be able to service your debts. Are you not going to say that the companies that invested in Petrobras are “ vultures ” like your amigos in Argentina. If you invest in something you expect a return on your money. Maybe they don't do that in Brazil.
@2. Another curious SA phenomenon. How many law suits against Petrobras now? Brasso claims the amounts are negligible. Has he figured in the damages as well as the amount of the losses? How long will Petrobras try to wriggle for? Interest. Legal costs? And in the New York legal system as well! Will Petrobras try a 'CFK'?
Apr 06th, 2015 - 12:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Seems it's quite easy to file a legal suit. Didn't argieland threaten to prosecute UK oil companies? Wasn't that threat first issued in 2013? https://www.oxan.com/display.aspx?ItemID=DB187511
Hilarious. Where's the first law suit? Where's the first prosecution? How does argieland propose to get anyone inside argie jurisdiction? How many court judgments and orders does argieland currently ignore?

Apr 06th, 2015 - 01:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If these law suits, filed in NY remember, come to fruition, it is likely to be expensive for Petrobras/Brazil by any standards.
Might even be Judge Greisa presiding, vulture funds re-visited.
Ohhhhhh the naivety of brasshole.

Apr 06th, 2015 - 04:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Don't worry, you don't sound rude...you sound IGNORANT. As I've said before, I see no advantage in Petrobras going down the drain, so what I'm going to say next is far from 'hoping for the worst' : You have a totally distorted image of the reality with regards to PB.......the company has lost 80% of its market value over the last 7 years, screwing shareholders - mainly Brazilian, and hundreds of thousands of workers who invested their FGTS in the company in 2001 - out of R$ 610 billion. To say this is negligible, is at the least, proof of how disconnected you are with reality.
As to your “Será que é tão difícil perceber que nós não queremos fazer parte do mundo de vocês? ”, the answer is NO...it is easy to understand why you don't want to be part of the civilized world.....But DON'T think you are speaking for Brazil....you represent a small, insignificant, radical minority, which still hasn't understood, and probably never will, that no country today, can isolate itself from the rest of the world and survive.....
Why don't you emigrate to Venezuela ? there you'll find the socialist paradise you've been looking for, already up and running.
@3 Brasileiro
Apr 06th, 2015 - 04:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There’s an idea for you, emigrate to Venezuela.
Many more “Great victories for the Revolution” there, and the country will be totally lost.
All you will be able to hear is the laughter of Dalek yankeeboy.
Isn't it amazing. Brasileiro like Nostrils reaches a certain point where he can hardly being himself to repeat all the lies and inconsistencies of his government.
Apr 06th, 2015 - 10:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Where he can't ignore reality any longer.
So he falls back on isolationism and xenophobia.
Its also amazing how different its English is depending on what day it is.
Apr 07th, 2015 - 02:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sometimes its readable
Sometimes not
Funny my English doesn't come and go with the wind or day.
Anyhoo, PBR may have to be taken back to the State if they want to save it. I doubt it can survive as a public company once the lawsuits start.
