- "I think we'd be crazy not to," says Jim Chanos, still short Brazil, but taking some profits after a near 20% dive in the Bovespa over the last couple of months which may or may not have had its denouement in yesterday's post-election plunge.
- Among the individual names Chanos had in the past talked about being short were Petrobas (PBR +4.3%) and Vale (VALE +0.6%), from which the Bovespa is heavily weighted. The two combine to represent about 8% of the assets in the iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF (EWZ +5.6%).
- "I think a lot of [Rousseff's reelection] is priced in already now," says Chanos.
- ETFs: EWZ, BRF, BRXX, EWZS, BRZU, BRAQ, BZQ, BRAZ, BRAF, UBR, BRZS, DBBR, FBZ
