The Brazilian Reale is Going To Collapse-How To Profit?

I was there in the 80’s. Inflation was so bad that phones and vending/pinball machines required special tokens to operate, because if you set up the device to use local coins, you would have to redo them every day! Not feasible.

So, you make the machine use the special token, then just adjust the price of the token. They would go up daily.

Of course, as an avid pinball player, I bought them in bulk, and a week later, I was practically playing for free! That is how fast the inflation was back then in the Good Old Cruzero Days.

So, go to Brazil, buy up a shit-load of pinball tokens, wait a week or two, and sell them for much more than you paid!

The only problem is now you have twice as much money, and its probably worth less than when you started.

So, I would say sell drugs.

Planet Money did an interesting podcast on Brazilian inflation.
