Government bond rate in the US: 0.45% a year
Government bond rate in Brazil: around 15% a year
Thoughts?
That's 15% a year no risk, not considering the risk of default, and you get your returns in three years.
It looks interesting. Good yields and low risk.

>15%
Yeah there's gotta be a catch m8, low risk my ass
what is currency risk
>>1369073
The Brazilian currency has devalued over the past few years. Even if it kept devaluing, 15% a year really does make up for it.
The tendency for the currency though is to stabilize, seeing as the determinantes of the currency have been stabilizing.
brazil is literally on the verge of collapse

Based on what?
So guys, reasons for not investing in Brazil:
>Currency risk
>Default risk
What else?
Are there any pros in buying BR government bonds?
I'm seriously considering investing my money.

Country risk, aka change in Brazilian leadership that does something stupid

Pretty gay that we can't get paper bonds through payroll in the US anymore. Guess they don't really want working Americans to invest in their country anymore.
Anybody else find it stupid that they cut that program to save money and are now squandering more than they saved putting niggers and women on half the bills?

You can get the electronic bonds by payroll which are pretty much the same thing considering that paper bonds couldn't be redeemed unless they were checked against an electronic list.
