#6 lol sounds like you are talking from USA and Europe's point of view, both have had the worst economic times in recent history and we don't see the light at the end of the tunnel for them any time soon, if IMF was ever right about the stats of the economies, the world wouldn't be in the shape it's in today, for your information IMF stats are written up by a terrible weather man.

#9 if english people can look beyond executed civil servants I am sure Argentines can look past the burned out cars. Compared to US ambassadors being executed by demostrators in Libya! burning up cars is a past time in America during hockey and soccer cups. Even in Canada we burn up cars for fun while celebrating a cup victory, what are you trying to prove ???? First take the log of your own eye to better see the speck in my eye. Lol
Oct 10th, 2012 - 05:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0(A concurrent CIA memo obtained by The Associated Press cited intelligence suggesting the demonstrations in Benghazi “were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the US Embassy in Cairo” and “evolved into a direct assault” on the diplomatic posts by “extremists.”)
When people around the world start executing Argentine civil servants we might listen to the english community until then we advise the USA and UK to fix their own problems before sticking their noses in Argentina.

You'll be in Argentina next month yankeeboy.You can report how a year of recession in Argentina compares to a few years of recession in USA.
Oct 10th, 2012 - 06:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But don't make it up from selected readings like you have made up Argentina's recession.
This looks like such a nice place maybe the tourist office should use it for marketing:

While it appeared that argentina managed to find an occassional few that would by their bonds, other then ANSES, at a rate of 18% and up. They have all but eliminated anyone ever being an RG bond now that they will only pay in toilet paper.....opps, I mean pesos. Toilet paper is the constitution.

Elsewhere in argentina“
”Buenos Aires province’s international bonds due 2015 plunged today after Vice Governor Gabriel Mariotto said that he supports the actions taken by Chaco. Yields surged 230 basis points to a two-month high of 20.18 percent. ”

Investors consider paying in pesos a selective debt defualt. The death fall has really just started, but where and when will it end?
And on the humorist side of the news today:

So another default and right at the 10 year mark! Way to go CFK!

Probably not

Exactly Yankee. Wall Street is calling it a selective defualt. She has no idea of the consequences she created. Not I heard that the CBOT is concerned about trading argentine commodities because of this “selective default”. They are expecting an major unlonding on RG bonds ov er th next couple of days. Forex is projecting the potential of a 15 to 1 exchange rate in 6 months time.

Oct 10th, 2012 - 09:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh dear so people think Argentina is having problems.But many of us know that the USA is having deep intractable difficulties.The next move is to strike trade agreements that will get more earnings elsewhere in the world as the USA can't get out of it on their own.Try Mongolia they have something to rob.Come to BA and forget your troubles.Visit your in laws you will be able to make your$ go further.
Oct 10th, 2012 - 09:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hey, do you think the Roman Catholic empire has any of Argentina's gold?
Oct 10th, 2012 - 11:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0USA has economic problems for sure. However, their armed forces are not striking, investors are not seizing government assets, we pay back all our debts, we do not consider someone can live off $2.25 U$ a day to eat, we,ve never stolen our citizens private pension money, we've never taken over a private enterprise for the purpose of seizing profits, and most importantly....Americans can invest their money in any currency they so desire without asking permission.
Oct 10th, 2012 - 11:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Put it into perspective there, Captain Poppy.
Oct 11th, 2012 - 06:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0And don't forget, the thing that Argentine gov is DESPERATE for, the US Dollar, is controlled by USA. The thing Cristina and her gov wants so desperately that they've made it illegal to even acquire it unless you're Cristina or one of her cronies.
To add even a bit more perspective:
Oct 11th, 2012 - 06:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0US 10 year yield: ~1.75 percent
Argentina 10 year yield : over 20 percent
I'm sure these Argie trolls will first have to look up what yield is and what it signifies, but lemme put it into layman's terms for them; it means global investors TRUST the US Dollar, economy, central bank, and have NO trust in Argentine Peso, economy, central bank.

Until the United States defualts.....we will never be as bad as argentina....period.
lol, these “trolls” learned English (albeit little) because they know there's no money/success in Spanish
Oct 11th, 2012 - 07:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why do I need to read that bit of brochure talk poppy. Does it have some particular significance.Is the US economy suddenly going to grow dramatically and save the northern world from cuts and recession,leaving the south worse off.Its more likely that when in the future it begins to grow and the costs to profit ratio has been adjusted,the Southern Hemisphere will return to double digit growth.
Oct 11th, 2012 - 09:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Romney and recession or O'Bhama and tax , poppy!
Mr shakerleg,you need to find something to say.You're sounding lonely in your depressed world.Try smiling and writing,there's a good fellow.
Costs to profit ratio of what? What makes you a stupid jungle bunny is that you think you need 10% growth (and ignores the 25% inflation) for the US economy. 3 to 5 % is considered a good stable growth, but they don't teach that in your tribe now do they yulena. USA doesn't have roller coaster cycles like the tribes in south america. Brazil is the only non tribal jungle there that has a small grasp of what to do.
Oct 11th, 2012 - 10:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Again when the USA fails and falls on its face like agentina, you can talk all the shit you want, when you've been here to speak from experience...you can talk all the jungle bunny talk you want. Here's a banana, go back up your tree.
Actually I don't think even Brazil knows what they're doing either. They're lucky they've got so much oil, but I don't know if even that can save them from their own constant mismanagement.
Oct 12th, 2012 - 12:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Uruguay's the freest of the SA countries, but maybe a little TOO free and socialist.
Chile's the country with what history will probly show to be the most stable upward trajectory in SA.
AND TO THE JEALOUS ARGIES WHO ARE SO HUNGRY AND DESPERATE FOR US DOLLARS: USA STILL HAS AT LEAST 20 YEARS LEFT OF BEING THE WORLD RESERVE CURRENCY. AND AT LEAST 40 YEARS LEFT OF BEING THE DOMINANT MILITARY POWER IN THE WORLD. SO THAT'S AT LEAST 40 MORE YEARS OF BEING #1 SUPERPOWER
So now even the IMF pulls the rug out from under the biased opposition figures - loving it =)
