The Ishares Msci Brazil Index Fund (EWZ-N) garners mixed opinions among experts. While some see it as an appealing option for gaining exposure to markets outside North America, particularly Brazil, caution is advised due to the underperformance tendencies of emerging markets during recessions. One expert mentioned that the fund is currently moving within a specific range and exhibits a disciplined trading approach, advising to monitor support levels closely. Another expert appreciates the strong chart patterns and trend lines, indicating a positive outlook on the ETF's performance. The presence of significant exposure to the energy sector, especially oil and gas, is highlighted as a potential driver for gains, particularly with seasonal market trends in mind.

We are not experts on Brazil, and it has certainly had some economic issues of late. Still, the Brazil market is nicely ahead of the US this year, and positive on the year. EWZ is up 10.17% YTD. Certainly for investors looking for country exposure we would be comfortable with this ETF, with $3.2B in assets, fees of 0.59% and an 8% yield currently. Brazil stocks are very cheap, at nearly half the valuation of the US market. There are still risks, but for a generalized country fund we would be OK with this as part of a diversification strategy for sophisticated investors looking for non-correlated assets from North America. We would not want to go beyond 5%.

DON'T BUY
Appealing markets outside NA -- Korea (EWY), Brazil (EWZ), or Germany (EWG)?

Whatever happens in the US affects the rest of the world. He wouldn't recommend emerging markets, as they tend to underperform if/when there's a recession. 

Investors would be better off buying the best companies in the German market, rather than the whole German market. Germany's the 4th-largest economy in the world, but it's had a bunch of issues with its own deficit and economic slowdown. He owns specific stocks in Europe. 

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 31/24, Up 2%)

It is moving in a range. It is close enough to the bottom of the range and he is tight with discipline. If it breaks its support level and stays there for a number of days, then he will sell.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 31/24, Up 7%)

Will continue to own. Has great chart and trend lines. 

TOP PICK

If you were to go back multiple years, you'd see a pattern that has a lid and a floor. There's a pretty strong layer where we are right now. He's traded this multiple times, and he's doing it again.

When oil moves back up again in the winter, which it often does, this ETF with 22% oil & gas should too. Remember that if it breaks support, get out. Don't get emotionally wrapped up in the trade.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Brazil is a good choice for broad emerging markets. Geopolitical risk is present with change of government. Long run, Brazil relies on commodities (oil) to fund economy which is risky.
COMMENT
EWZ is large cap Brazil. Likes it. There are some political issues and bad news that represents where the stocks are undervalued. Prefers FLBR which is a low cost solution with mid and small caps.
BUY
He likes Brazil for its tax reforms, which will likely be moderate than originally feared.
TOP PICK
Volatile, not for the faint of heart. His models show deep undervaluation. 60% lower than prior to 2008 financial crisis, currency devalued. Holdings include Vale. Has the right makeup for the economic regime we're in for the next 2-3 years. Yield is 0.59%.
TOP PICK
Brazil is the one country with a growing PMI. This economy could do very well.
TOP PICK
Not without its volatility. Some leaked documents on pension reform causing it to move today. Good support and he likes the technical confirmation. Yield 2.5%
TOP PICK
New leader in Brazil. Minister of the economy is a well educated economist and widely seen has being more free trade and open market policy friendly. You really want to see the meaningful reforms start to kick in. Oil is working, weaker U.S. dollar, all supports Brazil and EM. Yield 2.7%.
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 3/17, Up 14%) He took a 3% position. Sometimes these things don’t work out. You had a broken downtrend.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick May 3/17, Down 10%) His picks are always month by month. Brazil was moving nicely and then suddenly unpredicted political chaos happened. It will probably move back to the support level of $34 and he will say goodbye at that point. He is going to move on.

TOP PICK

The chart shows a long downtrend from 2014, followed by a base and then an uptrend. It is now pulling back slightly and testing the trend line, and thinks it will go up for a little bit. This is going to be a trade.
