Isnt it a bit sexist to assume that women cant voice their opinions, cant defend themselves (in case they really should be offended by this thread)? Why the urge to step in on behalf of someone else?

I have my doubts whether these quiet devaluations will be enough to somehow limit the gap. Only today the usd went up 7 pesos. But a gradual devaluation might certainly be an option

Well regardless of where you stand, under the current mantra "na vamos a devaluar", what are the options? 1) Doing nothing and wait (or announce a ten point plan with rainbows and unicorns, such as announced earlier this weeks) 2) In LaNacion, they mention that some sections of the Ks are...

Selling 1000 USD at the official rate

Currently they are discussing new measures to stop the free fall. I am really curious with what they come with. (the irony is: only the news that the cabinet is meeting sent the USD soaring .... the day will come when I will feel sorry for Guzman, I am almost there)

188. So far this day it has lost 5 pesos against yesterday. So fairly stable, I would say

Thank you Ronnie. Currently I am already with my family in Argentina. We just had in mind to go for a few weeks to Brazil on vaccation (enjoy the beaches, escape the lockdown madness here for a few weeks). Naturally, it would be nice, but if it is too complicated, then of course it is not worth...

I guess this was wrong information i received then. According to Glenn, there are no exceptions:

Thanks for the link. I know that only Argentine passport holders and those with a residency can enter Argentina. However, I have read somewhere that non-residents who have children in Argentina are also allowed to enter (as tourists?). Does anyone have information regarding that? If I were to...

I do not doubt there are divisions in Cambiemos / PRO. You don't even need to go to P12 to read about that. However, it is a big difference whether they occur in the government or in the opposition party. If these tensions affect the party, they will get less votes in the next elections...

These generators are quite noisy. So I doubt very much that you can put one in your apartment. I could also imagine that they are against the law (fire etc). But I am only guessing.

Honestly, I didnt know that one. Anyway, we are done with Venezuela now, it is Haiti now ;)

Will the police raids in the cuevas help to stop the free fall of the peso? I guess it will have, as always, exactly the opposite effect. https://www.infobae.com/economia/2020/10/21/fuertes-operativos-de-gendameria-en-cuevas-del-microcentro-frenaron-la-operatorio-del-dolar-informal/

I belong to the "doom and gloom" section here. The reason why i believe that this is not one of the usual "two steps back, one step forward" crisis are the followings: Public deficit is higher than 10%, basically no possibility to tap the international USD bond market after another default. The...

Typically you spend 5-7% on fees when buying. Notary, real estate agency, taxes, lawyer (if the transaction is complex, usually not necessary) etc. The same then applies when you sell object (not even considering potential taxes on gains). I don't know the exact numbers and they might not be...

Well, with all due respect to Sequoia, that's pretty much the case we have on the table here. Of course I understand your friend's position. For similar reasons I also bought a place here two years ago.

If someone - not well travelled, limited economic resources, not very experienced in these matters, doesn't know country and doesn't speak language - arrives here and buys real estate, that's the pure opposite of stability. That's in my view a high risk investment because you cannot know how...

One point i noticed: in the neighbourhood where i live, one block north they never have a problem. According to the portero i know there it is because the line goes to the hospital. (So apparently a much more stable line). Two blocks to the east they have in summer numerous days without power...

I would say between 30k and 70k pesos for basic / medium models. According to ML

I can already see Alberto Fernandez (Steve Jobs style) presenting the latest mobile made in Argentina: Nobody needs mobile phones made in China!
