This is the Monthly Strategic Intelligence edition… as we continue to try to understand how the business and financial world works, avoid costly mistakes that can deploy significant amounts of capital and time… prevent mistakes and poor decision‑making.

In this paid edition we bring independent thinking hypotheses that nobody has written about… unconventional reflections on Brazil’s “booming” financial markets, exploring why capital is flowing in, what global investors are seeing in overlooked opportunities, and how these dynamics may also introduce new BIG fragility.

It pays to think independently.

Dear reader,

One man profits, the other don’t. They are collegues, friends, maybe brothers, perhaps father and son.

One focus on cost-cutting, instantaneous action, drive production, revenue growth, employes availability. The whole game leaves him, always mad, disappointed with the results, the non-stop need of having someone telling employes what to do, when to do, how to do. In some years this natural stimulus to self-worth becomes a burden.
