Midterm election results

[barg]

Barg, seems you got a good rate. Do you know if you can change money at all the Western Unions in CABA.

It's what the Western Union website was offering tonight even after the election results were in and the cripto dollar went down to 1430-ish. The cash comes out of my foreign bank account and I can pick it up at any WU storefront that has enough pesos or have it sent an Argentinian bank account. No idea how the rates offered to directly exchange at the Western Union storefronts are but I'd ignorantly assume they're worse than the WU website at any point in time.

Bad news for my wallet, good for Argentina. I'm glad.

Thanks alot, Barg!

I'm a bit surprised it was so decisive, but it seems voter participation was down which isn't too shocking. When the options are between bad and worse its hard not to be apathetic.

I don’t see the dollar going down much, maybe 10% which is what Caputo said last week, and what the dollar crypto dropped last night.

1400-1500 is reasonable.

Will things get really expensive again? Lets hope not, inflation is under control and Caputo said he was comfortable with the rate at $1500.

The idea of keeping the exchange rate controlled was to win these elections

It was a truly decisive victory. The crazy stat is that over 10 million voters stayed at home. I think a lot of FP voters are just not interested in Axel and crew. I guess now we will really see what Milei does and if he can follow through with all his promises. Very interesting times ahead.

It's also a bit mind-boggling to think that the FP were partly running on the "injustice" of CFKs conviction when between 53% and 67% of people think she is guilty and deserves to go to jail. She is so polarising, but I guess Peronistas need a "strongman" type leader to keep it going.

Well, so far it's going like this. Looks like it's being kept fairly stable.

It just opened, at 10am, the official is at 1380, so I feel that’s the new piso. Reasonable.

Western Union is still good...for the moment

You are right. My mistake! I forgot the East Coast was behind there for a second. I will blame my work starting at 6am and not having my daily caffeine fix yet.

I just did a WU transfer as still had 1550. I did 2 transfers. The first one went through no problem, the second one is “in process”, I hope they don’t cancel it.
