Bright Future Ahead for Petrobras

tread lightly - 80% of its heirachy is PT Government appointed and totally political....rememberi... that the Lulas government is totally incompetent.

(CVRD is now the target of leftists who want to turn the company into a state organ again..this probably won´t happen but they might force a name change..this could be serious business?)
