Brazil is the seventh largest economy in the world, and is gaining ground on the developed countries. The country is a major exporter of natural resources like oil, iron ore and agriculture.
To get exposure to Brazil, I like the big integrated oil & gas producer, Petroleo Brasileiro (Sym: PBR). At 26.46 the stock is trading very cheaply, especially with oil prices at elevated levels.
