Just last week, one of those Fools, All-Star marc64, succinctly summed up the EWZS bull case for our community:
I'm looking for some reasonably enhanced likelihood that a given selection of small caps can develop into megas. It's a big plus if you can choose from among stocks riding on a fast-growing economy, with head room to mature to the point that economic efficiencies can trend them parabolicly.
Brazil is on rails to becoming a fully developed economy. As they ramp up to the stability we expect of a developed economy, new, second and third wave opportunities will abound. Lucrative new niches will be created as capital, infrastructure, institutions, political, technical and human resources abound. ...And, of course, we can look forward to new-to-world successes based on local, contextualized innovation and invention. ...
Yep, I like this one a lot, because I think Brazil will abide the political and economic.
Owning exceptional ETFs is a sure-fire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, EWZS may not be your top choice.
