Why didn't YPF/Repsol invest more than they did?

As a (not very) old adage says: "It is difficult to make predictions, especially about the future", but I'll risk it anyway. After a brief honeymoon where some people believe they can buy US dollars, it will turn out that the monthly/annual amount allowed is so ridiculous and/or the AFIP bar is...

You're talking about George Wingnut "Shrub", ex-perversident, ain't ya?

So it is fair, that those who don't cheat should pay a 20% tax?

Can you provide the details? (rethoric question) Nobody has any information of what this means in the real world. Will the buyer of US$ be allowed to bring 9,999 out of the country? Will the buyer of US$ 'para ahorro' have to deposit her/his savings in an Argentine bank account like before the...

All the expensive restaurants were packed. I remember one of my favorite places, Chiquilin in Sarmiento - at least 60% occupied on a Monday or Tuesday night.

If e.g. you own 100 and must pay 120, and your creditors don't trust you, a default may be the only way out.

"Apres moi, le deluge" and "eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die".

Sometimes we forget that if everybody owes somebody else, then those somebody else must be owed something. A owes B who owes C who owes D who owes A - extremely simplified.

Great career opportunity! I have always wanted to be a highwayman. Da man at work!

It is much better than 2001-2002, albeit very far from Nirvana. If you didn't experience Argentina 12 years ago, you ain't seen nothing yet, unless you have visited Shit City in Mumbai. I remember those ex-middle-class people looking like concentration camp prisoners, and the fights over the...

In 2001 and 2002 there were riots and violent demonstrations, but from what I observed in BsAs, they were almost all located in a few foci, like in front of Casa Rosada, near Obeslisco, in front of banks, anywhere where you could burn the usual car tires, etc. and similar in other towns. I did...

First of April already?

So you did not post this? as an answer to my post Israel was not an invention of the US, it was as I documented, the United Nations General Assembly, which recommended the adoption and implementation of the partition plan of Mandatory Palestine. The Soviet Union and the United States were...

I guess we are just waiting for the next Rodrigazo.

Yes, Matias, all of it is somebody else's fault, because the majority of Argentinos aren't adults, they are mentally like spoiled 9 years old children. They break something and immediately say "I didn't do it, somebody else must have done it."

Indubitably. Some patience required - 8-14 years from now they will build an artificial ocean so they can build artificial islands in Neuquénbai.

Matias claimed that "Israel is an invention of US to control middle east, plenty of oil." You may call them fairy tales, I call them lies and viveza criolla, when people make up as they go to support untenable claims. In order to show that it was not "a lie necessarily", please tell us how...

She's waiting for the http://www.billetesa...ley/100000b.jpg this one http://www.billetesa...ey/1000000a.jpg is reserved for Néstor new face, same value. Edit: What is going completely wrong with the 'insert image' function?

As the consequence of an insane government's attempt to defend the exchange rate of a peso pegged to the U$S, the international market value of which was skyrocketing and dragging the peso with it. As a matter of fact, this is exactly what the present government has been doing from 2008 through...
