Really? BRIC? Perhaps a few of the most corrupt/oppressive/restrictive/authoritative/land grabby/no-due process governments in the history of the world? You'd feel safer there? Not Canada, US, UK, Australia, Japan? I'd take any one of those over BRIC any day of the week.

I think he's talking about stowing his money there, not himself. Corrupt, oppressive, authoritative regimes are more likely to screw their own people than valued foreign investors. Theoretically.

Well perhaps all of the BRIC countries wouldn't make sense, but if money is stored on a bank in Brazil or China I would expect it to be reasonably safe. The point I tried to make was that I wouldn't like to store money in countries too closely linked to the Euro and (perhaps) US Dollar.

What is wrong with Brazil?
