On CAPS, 98% of the 2,074 members who have rated EWZ believe the ETF will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just last month, one of those bulls, fellow Fool Matthew Argersinger (TMFMattyA), tapped EWZ as a particularly attractive bargain opportunity:

Emerging markets have sharply underperformed over the last two years, and Brazil is no exception. The Brazilian stock market is down something like 21% YTD. Here's betting on a turnaround and that the World Cup (2014) and Olympics (2016) will play a major role in reviving Brazil's economy.  

Owning exceptional ETFs is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, EWZ may not be your top choice.
