Shocked that companies and mutual funds would invest OPM (Other People's Money) in high-risk investments, the Shocked Investor was originally on a mission to find out if our money ended up in these dubious instruments. This blog now also discusses other financial topics, such as straddles, options, gold, natural gas, agri/food stocks, and the collapse of the US Dollar.

Brazilian Inflation Highest Since 2003: Interest Rates Will Go Higher, ETF
Here is more confirmation (please see our post yesterday). Official inflation figures for Q1 have just been released: +2.06% (in 3 months). This is the highest level since 2003.
Make no mistake, my opinion is that Brazilian Interest rates are going higher. With iron ore prices skyrocketing (got any VALE?), the situation can quickly escalate out of control.
