Earlier this week, one of those Fools, mpp100, succinctly summed up the Petrobras bull case for our community:
Once oil demand picks back up after the world fixes its collective economic debacle, [Petrobras] will gain. When will that happen? No idea although I think we're seeing some signs of it now. I'll go out on a limb and call for a double in 5 yrs. Collect the dividend while you wait.
