Maybe 100 years to resolve? Maybe 200 years? Remember: Patience!

Brilliantly stated. Makes NO sense to me. I realise that a lot of people keep supporting the current Leader because they see no alternative but I fail to understand the enthusiasm of quite a few

There are English speaking psychiatrists who can treat you and prescribe medication. If you belong to a health insurance scheme, consult with them. They will very likely be able to find a suitable doctor for you.

I have read that the CEPO must be dropped before there will be more IMF money. That would mean that the overvalued peso would find its realistic level (to the relief of many expats) and there would undoubtedly be greater inflation.

True. The quality has dropped. Now you have to go to the better parrillas to get quality beef.

Are you sure this is legit? Social Security would notify recipients of any change. The voice sounds computer generated. There are mistakes in pronunciation

Front page article about the Leader in the WSJ today.

True but in my experience even well respected escribanos can make serious mistakes. Without going into details here, I know of one case in which the property was of relatively modest value. It turned out that the title was not free and clear (only discovered several years later). Apparently...

I don't want to click "like" because I don't want it to look as though I am taking you seriously. This is depressing news. Incidentally, there was another school shooting in USA today -- several dead; others wounded.

Letting the peso float is within his power, isn't it?

By executive order the age at which one can own a gun has been reduced to 18. High ranking members of government have been photographed at shooting practice.

Has it been tamed? Isn't the government desperate for another massive IMF loan? How can the debt ever be paid off? It seems that it will have to be perpetually renegotiated. Doesn't that limit Argentina' sovereignty?

I totally agree. The Italian culture dominates. I remember a friend (Argentine) telliing me that he grew up thinking Spain was the mother country until he went to Italy and saw how similar Italians were -- the gestures, loud voices, personalities etc.

The IMF condition is just a fact. Take away the CEPO and the dollar has to rise. Just how much is a guess but everyone knows the peso is seriously overvalued. The question is whether the IMF will grant the loan (it will be up to Trump) or just how long Argentina's Leader can hold out...

The situation is awful. I think a lot will depend on whether the IMF approves a loan in which case the CEPO must be dropped and I should think the peso would be more like 2,000 to the dollar

Whose promises? No loan has been offered to date. Removing the CEPO however has been an IMF demand.

The Argentine economy has not played out. Wait to see if Argentina gets another IMF loan. That will require dropping the CEPO which should increase the value of the USD/

I read that there is an investment plan for major companies however potential investors insist on removal of the CEPO first.

The IMF insist on eliminating the CEPO as a condition for a loan. The current exchange rate is unrealistic. I don't see how it can last
