What's the big deal. What we are talking about is only about +or- 400 U.S. dollars. You've got 48 hours just go out and blow it on one last good time.

I would agree, Argentinian citizen would be pretty very far down the list of countries I would want citizenship from, somewhat ahead of North Korea and Cuba but far down the list. I don't think the ability to evade taxes as mentioned in a earlier post is a selling point and is an indicator of...

Many good and valid points. I agree with those that say that real estate will continue to be transacted in dollars, that's the whole point of real estate in Argentina. It's a hedge against economic uncertainty. The current government is making real estate hard to maintain as a hedge. Those who...

Can't say that I agree with this. The problem today is converting anything into dollars. If you want to sell there are very few buyers around with dollars, real estate transactions have dropped significantly. Doesn't matter what the yields you are getting renting if you can't convert them to...

Argentina has become an economic backwater and will remain so as long as they have governments like the current one. At one time Argentina had the largest economy in South America, its in either 2nd or 3rd place now with more countries poised to overtake it. It still has the potential but when...

Interesting to see there are still gold-bugs out there. There was at one time a lot of people on this site recommending gold. It's got hammered pretty hard the last six months but old habits die hard.

This is easy, she will simply declare in effect that she is Empress and President for life. The constitution shouldn't be a problem as the congress is really just a rubber stamp body.They will probably still have elections unless it looks like they will lose then some reason will be found not to...

What nonsense! Who in their right mind would want to listen to civil and thoughtful discourse when you can watch Fox news or listen to Rush Limbaugh.

The way they are managing the airline is probably a good preview of how the Oil company will operate, although the numbers will be larger.

It doesn't make since as the governments explanations of why they are doing are just a smokescreen for what the real purpose is. The real purpose is short-term gain for the government. Its about grabbing the cash box to keep their unsustainable economic policies going a bit longer and probably...

I think the answer to all these questions is quite easy. Yes Argentina can hire help and expertise in running the business(into the ground is what will probably happen). The real problem is who is going to provide the money to develop the existing resources. If reports are accurate that...

They don't need to expropriate the problem expat properties, they could restrict temporary rentals or make it very difficult for people who want to sell to get their money out of the country. Hey, aren't they working on that already? The effect will be the same, it will drive all these problem...

It's a little tough to figure this out logically. If they want to increase production and eliminate imports this action is likely only to make the situation worse. The government simply doesn't have anything close to the funds necessary to develop the existing resources. Excessive government...

A lot of how is it in Argentina depends upon your point of reference. Inflation effects everybody but depends on your circumstances. People with low incomes worry about putting enough food on the table to avoid starving, people with more resources decide to what has to be cut to stay within...

Don't be overly concerned about crime, its always been here, could get worse but the majority of people visiting Argentina never have a problem, but you do have to be careful. I won't go in to a list of does and don't you can find them here and elsewhere. If you are coming just for a short time...

I think anything is possible, the military might not be able to fight a war but against civilians even limited and obsolete equipment works well. However I think the day of military coup in Latin America might be over for the most part. 30-40 years ago coups were practically everyday events...

I think the reason is really the market is too small to support industries to manufacture all the things used in daily life today. When you decide to have a closed system with no imports and only locally manufactured goods two things usually happen. 1. The goods produced are inferior in...

Probably the best thing they could do is just shut the whole thing down. Right now its a big money loser costing the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars a year with no end in sight. It being used as a piggy bank for the K's and their cronies. When the current government falls and a new...

Sorry if I am incorrect in your case, kind of wrote the post of the top of my head, from memory which is not always 100% accurate. However, I would like to hear from the folks who over the last couple of years were supporters of the government. If they don't support it now I think its OK for...

What happened to all the supporters that use to tut-tut all the shortcomings of the current regime and tell us how it good they really were for us? I'd like to hear from them today. Do they have another opinion or are they too embarrassed to post. I speaking of Marksoc, Redrum, Perry, and others...
