Brazil ETF

An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) that tracks a basket of Brazil-based assets.

In the U.S., it is illegal for Neymar to bet against Brazil in the World Cup, since he is a member of the team. However, he doesn’t think his team has what it takes to win, and knows that a loss will spiral the Brazilian economy into disarray, as it is almost entirely dependent upon futbol and bikinis.

To profit from his belief, Neymar should consider “shorting” a Brazil ETF ahead of the tournament (and/or faking a hamstring injury on a crucial penalty kick).
