How can anyone who knows anything about Brazil give advice like this?
Live in Brazil for six months and/or try and find trustworthy Brazilians? How is living in a country for only six months (especially when that country works so completely upstream compared to most European/North American cultures) going to help someone invest more wisely?
Find a trustworthy Brazilian? Brazil doesn't work like that, which I would have assumed you would have learnt when you lost all that money last time. It's not about the Brazilian per se, it's about your relationship with the Brazilian people. It's about how you act and how you carry yourself which will lead to the Brazilian behaving in a trustworthy manner or not.
Walk around flashing money left right and centre, make no effort to speak a word of Portuguese and act condescendingly towards them and your money will vanish in a few seconds to the most trustworthy of all people.
