recently , i did some research on this company and got really excited.

it is a top 15 (might be 19) oil/gas reserve company in the world and it recently discovered a gigantic high quility oil field. Brazil gov owns about 50% stake. it is basically like a gov company (china's PTR alike). the best thing is that the company owns 99% oil in brazil and it has almost nothing to do with global oil volitilities like the problem in middle east. the con is the fact that gov owns 50% of the company and the gov usually applies price control of oil. the drawback is offset by assurance of brazil gov in case something goes wrong with the company.
