When Will The Blue Market Be Suspended?

[John.St]

To paraphrase something I read elsewhere, "Argentina is the country of the future, and always will be."

Hm, I have heard "evil tongues" say that Brasil is the country of the future, and always will be, and that Argentina is the country of the past, and always has been. But then, of course, everything happening in Argentina since the military coup of 1976 1966 1962 1955 1943 1930 have been steps forward.

I've been here for 10 and every day I hear a crisis is just around the corner. Maybe, maybe not, but I'm stocking up on jamón crudo just in case.

Those of us on limited salt diets need something other than jamón crudo.

I once asked an Argentino friend of mine (he is in his mid fifties) what he thought of the crisis. He asked "what crisis? there has always been crisis except for perhaps two weeks of my life".

No, Brasil is the sleeping giant and always will be. It was looking like it was about to wake up a few years ago, but turns out that it was a false alarm.

Brazil's net worth is the same as Google's, Chile the same as Costco (the warehouse store). Argentina? Who knows? Dunken Donuts?

I am afraid you are completely misinterpreting that infographic by The Economist. It's simply stating the value of all the shares listed on the stockmarket of Brazil, for instance, are valued the same as all the shares of google. The value of the stockmarket is totally unrelated to the size of the economy. The size of a domestic stockmarket has more to do with how easy it is for a company to list itself on the market, the law/tax implications of doing so, and the value that investors place on those companies.
