To hell with your Trumpian nationalism, think of the Riesgo Pais and those juicy juicy loans.

"Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) generally does not increase total returns compared to investing a lump sum immediately, but it does lower risk and reduce volatility. Because markets tend to trend upward, investing all available capital at once typically yields higher long-term gains. DCA works best...

Property owners in Neuquen Capital were shocked to find their Municipal fees for 2026 increased by as much as 800%. The article goes on to explain that prior year fees only paid 20% of the Municipality budget with the rest subsidized...

Excellent article...a perfect storm of forces that could apply to virtually any sector here.

Are we talking about the same stock?

This is one was a tip-off by an oil manager I met a couple years ago. Given how fresh off the boat I was, I was still very skeptical of Argentine stocks. Wish I had paid more attention...

Incredible run if you were there in the beginning, but an 8% total return for the past 5 years (1.7% annually) is hardly wow performance.

This reminds me of the infamous "Nancy Pelosi index", where amateur traders began to track her trades to take advantage of the obvious insider information she was using: https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Nancy%20Pelosi-P000197 Outperformed the market by 564%, mere...

Very curious about this one as well, especially given Bessent's mining comments. I'm sure we'll be the last to hear of the opportunity.

Howdy folks, I think we are long overdue on a helpful post for existing and expectant expats. My inquiry is whether any of you are investing in anything down here. Stocks, Bonds, Plazo Fijo, Carry Trade, Businesses, Real Estate, Import/Export, State embezzlement (just kidding), etc. Tell us a...

I think it largely depends on the debt sector (commercial/private). But down here wage garnishments happen frequently and property liens as well. Those affected by bad credit are left searching for more informal, often (more) usurious loans. The garnishments also forces more people into informal...

I agree, assuming what was retrieved wasn't another officer's gun that had fallen out during the struggle, there was no reason to apply lethal force to an unarmed man who was already on the ground.

I have no personal opinion on the incident, other than the victim was clearly stepping in dangerous territory where LEO could easily perceive the threat of his actions. Resisting arrest and failure to follow commands while possessing a gun is enough to be perceived a threat. The victim and...

You have to be a special kind of stupid to show up to a protest to interfere with any kind of law enforcement with a concealed weapon attached to your body. What on earth did this man expect? One of the first things you should declare when approached by an officer seeking to detain you is that...

Howdy Eric, Welcome to the forum. It would help to understand your banking situation. Do you currently have a local USD account here? Have you attempted to open one? How are you currently receiving money down here?

You lost me on that one. The cheapest car in the country starts at $25M ($17,000 USD). The Cronos MSRP now starts at $30M ($20,000). You get 2 airbags in the Cronos. That's right, 2 whole airbags, even 17 years after side airbags became mandatory in the US car market. That's not even the tip of...

The American section forgot one major requirement on the list of popular cars in the USA....power. It wasn't until I arrived here that I realized Americans are obsessed with Torque & HP. It's on every commercial and arguably take precedence in automotive discourse over MPG. My minivan in Texas...

When my wife's family from San Luis came to see the birth of our daughter in Los Angeles, my Suegra lost 7 kilos because the only things she ate during the trip was bread and coffee. Even the deli meats she found gross. You should have seen the scandal when I took them to a known local BBQ spot...

Yes I've noticed that with Pizza here, where you can see the thick strips of cheese still intact and half melted on top when it's served. Is it too much to shred a cheese so it melts evenly? I've been doing a lot of traveling this summer with the family in San Luis & Cordoba and the...

I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned the most obvious advantage to citizenship. Restriction free international travel. As any US Green Card holder will also tell you, residency comes with strings attached as to the length of stay outside the resident country before forfeiture of said...
