Brazil stocks

The problem with shorting Brazilian stocks is that they are at 11x PE and 5% div yield after 2 years of recession. Those are cyclically depressed earnings and yields. When they return to normal (as a market economy always does) they will rise. So effectively, they are at something like 7-8 PE's 6-7% dividend yields. Its really hard to make money shorting very cheap markets. Specially given headline risk, at any hint of the impeachment going forward, buyers will go nuts. Unless one is talking about a daytrade here and there, positioning short the brazilian market is very dangerous

The hints of immpeachment showed up, and buyers went nuts. Thats why you don't short cheap markets with imminent catalysts

Does anyone know of any reputable international brokers with that allow someone with UK citizenship, for example, to trade the actual Brazilian stocks? Do such brokers exist in 2020?
Note: I am ideally just interested in ordinary shares, NOT CFD's or binary options or anything like that
Anyone, please???

I'll take a look on that.

Also, does anyone knows any broker that allows me trade US stocks? I'm from Brazil.
