By now, most of you know that the country of Brazil has fallen on hard times and is plagued by political turmoil. Enough said about that. The iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF – EWZ : $EWZ has been around for 17 years. During those 17 years the country has been plagued with hard times and political turmoil. Not much has changed. One picture says a thousand words to the Deep Value ETF Accumulator.
EWZ is worth the risk to me. Sorry, no deep dive analysis here. This is my analysis, short and sweet.
I do not currently have a position in EWZ, but I do intend to initiate a long-term position in this ETF in the future.
Thanks for reading.

I appreciate your analysis on Foreign ETFs. Have you done any on India, China, Japan or other foreign ETFs?
Hello Duane.
I have done a lot of research on Chinese equity ETFs and found them to be favorable for long term investing. When I back-tested all ETFs with a majority exposure to China I found that the best performing ETF was the First Trust Chindia ETF (FNI). I was actually attempting to find the best pure-play Chinese ETF, but FNI has continued to perform well and it has the added benefit of giving me exposure to the Indian equity market. I have not yet found a pure-play Indian or Japanese ETF that performs well over the long haul. As for other foreign funds that I invest in, here is the list: EWW (MEXICO), EWZ (BRAZIL), EWD (SWEDEN), DGS (SMALL CAP EM), DEM (LARGE CAP EM), EZA (SOUTH AFRICA), EWY (SOUTH KOREA), FNI (CHINA/INDIA), PDN (SMALL CAP INTL), DWM (LARGE CAP VALUE INTL), EPP (ASIA EX-JAPAN).
Here are the articles I’ve written so far on foreign funds:

Thank You! Just what I was looking for. So far, I’ve been loving some of your recommendations. RHS, FBT…..
Hi Duane.
Thank you for taking notice.
RHS & FBT have treated us very well also.
We’re currently showing a profit in EWZ, so this week we’re accumulating some more EWD.
I appreciate you leaving your comment here.
