I am investing like a crazy person, mostly in internet start-ups. And I want to invest in Brazil as well, because I am Brazilian and that's in my heart.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I can tell you that today 99% of my investments are in Brazil and will remain here.
And what I'm interested in is investing in people.
At Sequoia, we have opened offices in China and India, and we have made a handful of investments in Latin America/Brazil.
The mandate that I got from my investors is to invest. So far, we are on the right track, and it is the right formula to invest in Indonesia.
I like to invest in companies where I can really add value from my experience, network, etc., so checking out my portfolio of other investments, and my background, will generally give some guidance there.
I have invested in the stock market since I was very young.
Buy into good, well-researched companies and then wait. Let's call it a sit-on-your-hands investment strategy.
Investing is for wealth preservation, not wealth creation, so first you have to make wealth.
What I invest in, while not risky for me, may be too risky for most people.
It is not my duty to spend my money in my country, but it is what I want to do. There is nowhere else I would like to invest.
