Buddy you are not mine alzinh..... . You have made accusations about argentinians that are unfair . your experiences in this country reflect who you are as a person and your attitudes to others and the enviroment you are in.

Understanding is the key to knowledge...

Alzhino - strong recommendation - some posters are best put on the ignore list as arguing with them gets you nowhere

I second citygirl's recommendation - the "ignore" feature is great.

I don't understand why the government is still having such problems. We have been doing case studies on Latin America, and we've learned the kinds of things that the Arg gov should be doing to work its way out of inflation, and yet it just seems to make the opposite decisions and make things worse for itself. Will it ever learn? Unfortunately 50 years of economic mismanagement seem to say no.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".

inequality is still greater in Chile without providing anything to back it up.

I'm still waiting for you to show me one of my posts where I have "CLEARLY created misinformation or suggested that I would like this country to run like a dictatorship", now you can add the above to the list. Just the one example where I've made unfair accusations about Argentinians will do.

I'll wait....

it's also important to buy precious metals such as gold and silver - at least to have a certain percentage as a hedge against inflation.

gold is a safe haven that allows a person to protect their purchasing power. as a currency's value declines do to over printing, gold will strengthen. we're talking long term of course as it's nearly impossible to predict anything short term these days.

I couldn't agree more! Having said that, one would think that countries that produce gold and silver, would stand to gain from such trends, not so? Well, I live in South Africa, where we have more gold than ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!! Just as a matter of interest, our gold production is steadily falling! Why you ask? Shouldn't you be coining it right now? Well yes, but then there's the ANC with their socialist tendancies that's ruining the labour market over here. Do you know that we have a strike of some sort here, all the time! And major industries too! That's an enormous part of why I'm leaving...
