Western Union money transfer

[Vagrant Violet]

Is Massa as new superminister akin to Superman in the comics and has strange, mystical powers?

Superman? No. A Jedi? Very possibly...

Does massa really bring that much support in the market? I'm no economic expert, but Arg reserves are still in shambles.

Edit: WU just changed to correspond with the CCL now. Mid transfer as well.

Don't think anyone is complaining. Dropping 40+ pesos in two days does add up quickly.

I'm not a financial expert by any means but in my opinion, this is all hype and once everyone realizes the "emperor is (still) as naked as" last week, the rate should go back up.
Seriously, what besides absolutely nothing has changed regarding prices here? Anything go down?

It's lipstick on a pig but lipstick quickly wears off.

I agree with you. Fundamentals are still the same as they were a few days ago. But as I read in another thread, sometimes the economy moves in relation to politics rather than numbers or fundamentals.

Like everyone always says here though, it's usually always safe to bet against the peso long term.

they are betting on the agricultural dollar for their coffers - that explains the CCL in part and if the producers will indeed take adventure of the 30% of their income converted to dollars at a solidarity rate, a big chunk of those 'cheap' dollars will most probably end up on the black market, therefore lowering the blue rate...

This is Argentina; nothing ever makes sense.
