Brilliant moment for an effectfull disclosure.
Two to three points rating upgrading next.
(Not that we need it:-)
A renegotiation without providing proof (audit) of how it can pay? That should be interesting .............
Nov 16th, 2010 - 07:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina has been growing a bit too rapidly with a bit too much inflation of late. Hopefully, spending some reserves on debt retirement will slow growth and inflation somewhat. The government might slow some of its domestic spending that is fueling the rapid growth. Should a settlement of the 6.7 billion ensue, the resultant effect on international credit markets will provide the optimum environment for sustained, long-term growth.
Nov 16th, 2010 - 04:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think history will look back on the Kirchners as Argentina's financial wizards. Both Nestor and Cristina seem to have understood and manipulated the workings of international finance even better than the banks and rating agencies. Raising the country out of the financial and economic quagmire of 2001 is no mean feat.
As for the Kirchners' involvement in all those casinos in Argentina: Wellington said that Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton.

Raising the country out of the financial and economic quagmire of 2001 is no mean feat.
... the Paris Club creditors may well be eager to collect their money before the April deadline when Argentina runs afoul of Article IV (IMF monitoring) and possibly changes its mind about payment, preferring the cash to obliging Argentina to follow the rules. Buenos Aires Herald

Nov 17th, 2010 - 08:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are so obvious, i confirm once and again that you can't think beyond the articules from you buenos aires herald.
Anyway i think that some day you will leave your wishes behind if you want to make a serious critic.
Make a survey Fred!
Nov 17th, 2010 - 08:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0SHOW THE WORLD YOU ARE SERIOUS!
Axel: I don't read that monkey language you people use to communicate. I read all the news in English I find on Argentina. Since Argentina is insignificant there is not much international news available so I am stuck with BA Herald and Momento 24 which I think uses google translate because seems like it is written by you or xbox.
Nov 17th, 2010 - 11:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think you are a nothing but a brain washed peronista and every post you write just confirms it. You should immediately resign your post as an educator and try not infect future generations with that malarkey.

Nov 17th, 2010 - 11:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Like i said before, i have the final conclution that it was never worhty to debate with you, this is evident that you didn't understand nothing about what i told you, you didn't even could understand that i am not peronist, i only recognize what was made right and wrong, your problem is that you can't accept nothing more than your own opinion, if you think that only the buenos aires herald says the truth about the reality of my country, that shows how brain washed and idiot you are, if you would have unless two neurons you would take some of opinions that i type here, in the same way that i take some of yours, when you talk about the reality of your u.s.a, ¿dont you think i can know much more than you about the reality of my country because i live here?.
Beside, no matter how monkey my language is, you understand perfectly what i express.
If you are so smart, or unless more than me, read also the buenos aires economico, wich supports the government, and after you can get your conclutions.

Axel: Don't waste your time. Islanders = no brain.
Nov 18th, 2010 - 12:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0Show's how brainless you are. fredbdc isn't an islander.
Nov 18th, 2010 - 11:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0fredbdc is a Mexican, but seemingly, he's living in the USA.
Nov 18th, 2010 - 03:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Either way, he's not an islander and my point stands.
Nov 18th, 2010 - 03:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Xbox, I not sure why you think that bothers me, if I was Mexican living in the USA I would still rank higher than an Argentinian living in South America.
Nov 18th, 2010 - 04:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Axel: The link you posted doesn't work but regardless, why would I read a web site dedicated to supporting CFK's voodoo economics or wait you call it heterodoxy, I think it is the same though.
Argentinians are known to be violent, liars and crooks you can't get any decent information from a pro-kirchirnista web site. Maybe this is what is wrong with you.
Your politicians are very classy:

Fred, he's weird like that. He seems to think i live in north England when i infact live in London.
Nov 18th, 2010 - 05:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have no idea why i would even lie about something like that.

Nov 19th, 2010 - 12:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are right, i dont know what hapened with the website of buenos aires economico, it does not work since a couple of days.
Anyway you can read pagina 12 too, that's a very good newspaper that supports the government, if i suggest you to read unless one newspaper that supports the government, that's because all the newspapers and chanels tell only what is covenient to their economc and politic interests, in my case, i already told you that i read, la prensa (conserveness, liberal, and oponent to the government), and read also pagina 12 (leftist and supporter of the government.
If you inform your self only with those newspapers that have the same ideology, your information will keep on being as oblique as it now.
On the other hand, i know perfectly what you mean, about the scandal of last wensday, and the most pathetic of this situation is that most oponent politicians support graciela camaño, using shamefull arguments, for all these kind of crap politicians that we have at the so called group a, i really think that c. f. k. will be re elected next year.
Beside, what carlos junkel said was true, camaño's husband is a corrupter and agressive sindicalist, no one can could feel offended when the truth is on the table.
Finaly, dont keep on being so hipocrite, if you lock at your past, you''ll see that your contry is not much better than us, in many aspects, and you know it.
Beside if you think that you can classify the argentine society, bassing your arguemnts in the behaviour of our politicians, that shows how ignorant and moron you are.
Read: www.laprensa.com.ar
www.pagina12.com.ar
Pagina12 is a ridiculous site, all smiles and hugs in the pictures! I am sure you are getting accurate unbiased news from them.
Nov 19th, 2010 - 01:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Keep getting brainwashed Axel I feel sorry for you.
fredbdc and fred again... Now you can read Spanish, fred! You're a pitiful man, fred, because your life has no purpose whatsoever, other than to spend your days using all your energy to know what we do haha, idiot!
Nov 19th, 2010 - 05:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hmm did I say I could read, or just look at the pictures? Maybe you should take another look at the post. BTW you are here as much as I am. I post from my phone (gasp) which locoturio are you posting from, does it have 56K download yet? hahaha
Nov 19th, 2010 - 06:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But I don't care about Mexico, while you spend your days and nights thinking 'bout what we do haha.

Nov 19th, 2010 - 09:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are so evident, you wont never take another truth but yours, it's obvious that you never rode pagina 12, you only judge it because of the pictures that it has, that shows how moron you are, anyway like i said before, it does not worth to debate with some one like you, i really hope that you never adress to me again, i wont answer any of your ignorant comments, because i dont like to waste my time with idiots, i prefer to debate with other people in this website, who dont think like me eather, but unless with them i can have a mature debate, PELOTUDO.
Axel, you are not intelligent enough nor know anything other than the twisted stories you are told from an early age to have a mature debate. There is not one individual on these boards that doesn't easily debunk your logic and theories. So maybe it is you that is the idiot and not me.
Nov 19th, 2010 - 10:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good luck and next time I am in BA I will look for you at one of Castells soup kitchens.
Should have used USD's Fred, you'd barely need a pocket full.

Nov 21st, 2010 - 01:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0Any language can be a monkey language when employed by persons with simian levels of language ability. Think carefully about this before typing your next post so that English might not suffer yet another step downward on the evolutionary ladder.
fred, fred... Why dont you act like the mexican parasit you are, and shut up while thinking people try to discuss? Isn't washing American's dishes tiring enough?
Nov 21st, 2010 - 04:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0We, all the Argentines, are witnesses of the impressive growth our country is having. Much bigger than mexican growth. South America is the future, mexico is and will be permanently linked to USA economy.
PS: Being agressive wasn't my intention.
South America is the future
Nov 21st, 2010 - 06:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0He's right, South America is the future of South America.
Soya, The problem with Argentinians is that they are basically all criminals and have a very short attention span. They like to live in the glory of the past and do not prepare for the future.
Nov 21st, 2010 - 04:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You have had an impressive 7 year recovery but pumping huge amounts of $ into an economy is going to be impressive FOR THE SHORT TERM.
I think a few years ago everyone was taking about how well Venezuela was doing, how are they doing now? Let's see, you have Soy they have Oil. 1 commodity doesn't make a well balanced economy. Brazil's currency is going to mess you up a lot in the next year so I wouldn't count on them buying too many more cars.
I have been predicting this will all come to a crashing halt sometime after the next election. We don't have too much time now let's see who is right in the next 12-18 mos.
