But Brazil’s new president, Dilma Rousseff, is looking for ways to ease the restrictions on foreign investment in the farm sector. Rousseff wants to encourage productive foreign investment.

An ETF From Bill Gross
June 3, 2011--Is it a big deal that famed bond-fund manager Bill Gross is looking to launch an exchange-traded version of his Pimco Total Return fund? The answer may depend on whether you're an investor or a mutual-fund executive.
For investors, the answer is probably, "Meh." For a fund executive, "Yes, but..."
ETFs for the most part have been an attractive option for investors. Their appeal has been strongest in stocks, where they have been mainly index-based and generally offer greater tax efficiency and lower costs than most actively managed funds. ETFs also have opened up commodity investing to a broader audience.

Remarks, Bringing Transparency to the Swaps Markets, National Association of Corporate Treasurers Conference
Chairman Gary Gensler
June 2, 2011--Good afternoon. I thank the National Association of Corporate Treasurers and Tom Deas for inviting me to speak today. Both the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and I have benefited from your thoughtful input and constant attention to important issues with regard to the swaps marketplace during the legislative process and the rule-writing process to implement the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
The Dodd-Frank Act brings essential reform to the swaps markets that will benefit the American public and each of you in your roles as corporate treasurers.
Though I am speaking to you in my formal capacity as Chairman of a market regulatory agency, I also was once co-head of finance at a major firm. Like many of you, I helped oversee how a corporation funded itself, managed its risk and met its budget.
