Maybe the rise of the official rate and drop of the blue rate is both finding an equilibrium where the peso reaches its true price to the dollar.

I think it is right to contact Mercadolibre about it too because regardless of it the person selling your iPhone is the person who robbed it, it is right to point out that a person is selling stolen goods. If it IS the person who robbed it then it might scare him from doing something like that again

I think the difference between North Korea and Iran is that Iran actually has a functioning market economy and the government doesn't control the lives of its citizens as much as North Korea's communist regime does.

There seems to be no end to the slide of the peso and the recent halting is probably short-lived. Just look at it against the dollar in just a year http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=USDARS=X&t=1y&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=

On Iran, I think the US (and Europe too) are doing the right thing in slowly squeezing Iran financially etc. This week's rial depreciation may be the beginning of the end. Regardless of whether or not Iran or Iraq have or had a nuclear programme or considered it, going to war the way the US...

Still better than a McCain or Romney

Irish people like myself talk about the weather a lot and especially about the rain. Argentinos about crime. Why? Because in their respective nations they are both prevalent and apparently getting worse. Simple.

What I find funny is, with all her bitchy, sniping remarks, the ignorant put downs, the "you should have kept your mouth shut instead of asking such a stupid question" comments.......how similar she is to the Republicans or a Fox News commentator. This isn't just a Kirchner thing but what is...

What I have always found about Argentine politics is that you can have political parties but it's all about "movements", either a coalition or mostly by the strength of an individual or individuals who like the moon, pull the tide of certain groups of people around with them. For this reason the...

Can you even buy a Ugis pizza with that much? Actually on that matter how much is a Ugis pizza these days?

What I found fascinating about the debates about the process was the whole idea that Cristina wants to keep the debate going so as to not be a lame duck president and have Peronism tear itself apart. This was a statement echoed even by some of her own supporters. What this has done in my opinion...

I hate to use the analogy of something odious because I quite like my McDonald's, Burger King and Starbucks but these chains are like cockroaches. They can and have survived harsher environments than the one Cristina has unintentionally or not created .It will take a lot to snuff them out...

Sometimes at the start of a movement a protest can be a message in itself. Last night felt like the idea of a leaking tap that drips and drips. It bothers you but not too much until the whole thing after neglect spurts out and you need a plumber. To me Cristina ignored the various issues...

I'm very proud and happy for the protestors yesterday for making their voice heard democratically and peacefully. Argentina, like other nations has its issues, they just vary. Your post was condescending in many ways. Your post about women was misogynistic and without merit. So there's my own...

Just out of curiosity, where did you go? Also, a silly question probably but I am a bit confused with all this Blue Rate etc. If I was to bring in a wad of cash with me in Euros and dollars, I can easily get the Blue rate thus saving me a good bit instead of using ATMs?

I think the author is right.The nuts and bolts are slowly fraying on the Kirchner economic model and have been for a while.

Wait... If one argues that the reason Argentina is expensive because of labour and machinery are more expensive in Argentina (for various reasons) compared to other countries, that would imply that Argentina has always been an expensive country? But it wasn't, especially during most of the last...

They predict an almost 50% depreciation of the currency in a year!? Wow. That would not go down well with the voters.

This article seems to highlight emigration from Europe from certain European countries such as Spain, Italy and Portugal. It seems to paint all of Europe as some place with no hope, which negates the fact that a lot of European countries, especially Germany are doing particularly well. It gives...

Warren Buffet is right.
