You keep claiming that the yield on Argentine bonds was high. If you don't know the numbers, how can you know the yield? Besides, around here it's long past midnight, so I'll get to bed. PS I find it difficult to make you understand, that although I as an licensed engineer have a good...

How many percent? I have a very precise knowledge of risk management, but the point is, that the great majority of bond buyers had no idea of it, they were cut short. The difference in perception is most likely because you are from the US where almost anything goes, while in my home country...

Sure, Bajo philosophy: When proved wrong, blabber. Perhaps one or two of the readers are misled to believe you know what you are talking about. The people with Ph.D.s in economy I quoted did not create rules, they simply listed facts.

Simply claiming that I make a misconception is doubleplusungood, especially as you on previous occasions have misinterpreted my stance. Point the specific misconception out. Of course not, and the same goes for e.g. corporate bonds. Sovereign bonds, on the other hand, are guaranteed by a state...

A Buenos Aires vulture Hedge Funds leading the battle for full repayment aren't the only holdouts. Norma Lavorato worked and saved for decades, but has spent most of her twilight years waiting for the Argentine government to pay back the US$ 45,000 she invested in sovereign bonds and lost in...

I forgot to provide the source for the percentage of retail investors. "The Argentine Ministry of Economy and Production has estimated that 56.5 percent of the value of the defaulted debt was held by institutions and 43.5 percent by retail investors. The Argentine government also estimates that...

I received a mail, saying "Bajo_cero2 quoted a post you made" Bajo_cero2: "Here we have another "expert"." From the real world, showing yet again that Bajo_cero2 doesn't know sh1t about what really happened: Argentina's debt restructuring: A victory by default? "The options available to more...

A beautiful and precise description of flying with Argentinos :D 80 thumbs up!

I fly to Europe four times a year and prefer as the most comfortable (being 187 cm tall) Lufthansa, Air France and Iberia. Make sure you get a seat in the back of the plane, something like 42-45, one of the outermost seats, A, B, K or L, where there are only two seats in the row.

Mee, too. I would drown myself if I couldn't get away from the Argentine ant nest every now and then.

The bonds were sold to more than 500,000 buyers, app 44 percent of the value (app 36 000 million) bought by retail investors, typically saving for their future pension only to have it stolen by Argentina. The vast majority of the bonds could not have been sold in Argentine currency or under...

Where I come from it is a bloody insult to write "Clear example of manipulation (while posting links with no real substance).". You claim that I manipulate, although you hadn't checked if I was right or not.

What is wrong in your head? http://www.law.harvard.edu/ is Harvard Law School as you will find out, if you use the link and remove the text /programs/corp_gov/MediaMentions/5-24-10-BusinessWeek.pdf in the browser address field. Of course you checked it, didn't you? GRIESA ES ARGENTINO: FALLÓ...

U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa In Argentina, where for more than seven years a return to international capital markets has rested on his rulings, the 79-year-old, semi-retired judge is a star. Buenos Aires newspapers kept his face on front pages as judgments for defaulted bonds in his court...

Not so bizarre really. In Botswana you shout couco! couco! Everywhere it's to show that you are not an enemy sneaking up on the home.

Boyo, you are completely off your rocker. Stop smoking whatever it is you are smoking. First I documented that out of 144 billion US$ debt in 2002, between 32 and 37 billion was incurred by the dictatorship, while between 107 and 112 billion was incurred by the democratic governments from 1983...

Does the fact that Clarin is biased somehow clear Pagina/12 from being a governmental propaganda machine? If not, I fail to see the relevance of your post, except as http://en.wikipedia....ki/Whataboutery

As for all the Argentine lies about judge Griesa: If Griesa is biased, then The United States Court of Appeals (which acknowledged all important parts of his ruling) is biased, and the United States Supreme Court is also biased as it declined to hear Argentina's case, thus implicitly...

100 billion US$ debts (three times as much as they inherited from the dictatorship) were incurred by the democratic governments, who then wasted and stole all of it. Who is to blame for that, except the Argentines, who elect corrupt criminals? Pagina12 is not a reliable source, but a...

I haven't answered because you are on my ignore list as being irrelevant and untrustworthy. I only see (part of) your posts, when somebody else quotes from them. Your rubbish about paid propaganda only goes to underline my impression. I supply sources to my claims, you don't, re. e.g. 'is a...
