	Banco Bradesco A-Go-Go [Fool.com: Motley Fool Take] May 15, 2006
		Some deterioration is normal on from the fourth to the first quarter, but this is a metric that bears watching as it was also up quite a bit year on year.
		In at least one respect, Bradesco has a problem that is pretty common among many U.S. banks -- deposit growth (up 4.4%) is lagging loan growth (up 28%), and that leads to more expensive financing and a higher overall cost of funds.
		Bradesco doesn't look expensive, but it also isn't cheap enough to really entice me. After all, Brazil has to deal with inflation, potentially higher energy prices from its dispute with Bolivia, and the usual host of challenges in managing growth.
