2009 scenario.

People are supposed to see red light in 2009 but when you have to plan ahead a single scenario cannot be safe for your projections. I would be at the side of Warren Buffet way of thinking when planning the New Year to come. Let´s see two of his assumptions.

First, you buy when blood is in the street. One of the most impressive recent real estate launching in Brazil not is 106Serido, a luxury apartment for at least no less than 4 million reais. We are presenting this real estate opportunity to our international clients that come frequently to Brazil and do not want to live in hotels. This condo is located in one of the most sophisticated areas in Sao Paulo – Jardim Europa, and everything around this building is to make you profit from its acquisition. The two buildings, that are established in an area of 11.000m2, with apartments from 3 to 6 bedroom suites/ 4304 to 5381 sqf, and unique conveniences, will value a lot more when finished, what is supposed to happen in February 2012.

This business of ours bring another Warren Buffet thought for 2009: we are not entering dark age. Financial market is about uptrend and downtrend curves. Maniqueist vision does not apply.So, second assumption: think on a long term basis or you will not survive.
