Dec 18th, 2010 - 10:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Jaunarena claimed that following the “very poor administration” of former minister Garré Argentine Armed Forces are in a “bad shape”, with “pilots grounded” since they have been unable to comply with the needed certified flying hours and the Army has sufficient ammunition for a two hour combat.” Combat? Lying again Cristina? You said that Argentina is only a peaceful country, why do we need weapons? Is there anybody out there planning to attack Argentina? Who? England? Bolivia? The USA? China? Tanzania? Burma! How about some lithium?
“The public should have the security that their Armed Forces are trained, capable, and hold a moral and spiritual philosophy;securing their interest in national defence,as stated in the Constitution” You can imagine!
“All this is incompetence, unreal and evidence of a committed policy to downgrade the Armed Forces. There is nothing to celebrate, on the contrary” I couldn't agree with you more, there is nothing to celebrate.
How dare you say “the very poor administration” of Nilda! She's perfect! This is unacceptable, someone call Hebe de Bonafini, now! This guy is a GOLPISTA!
The British captured some 11,400 Argentine prisoners during the war, all of whom were afterward released.

Dec 18th, 2010 - 11:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Master plonk - as you appear to be an economic genius then perhaps you can tell us how you are going to become a wealthy individual when the investment environment in Argentina is as below!
Dec 18th, 2010 - 11:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Funny how some Argentines think they are able to offer financial advice.
Let us look at some data compering the emerging markets.
Which country of the emerging markets has the lowest five year average dividend yield
A = Argentina with 1.3% (The average for the emerging markets is 2.4% with Brazil and Peru both at 3.8%). Argentinas data is so poor that a 2011 forcast is yet to be accuratly calculated.
Let us also look at EPS (Earnings Per Share). Argentina comes in second lowest if the emerging markets with a 2011 EPS forcast of 5.8%. The average for the
emerging markets is 16.4%. Even Europe is predicted 16.4%. In South America the big winners for 2011 look like Brazil with an EPS forcast of 23.3% and Peru with 25.7%.
Conclusion. Argentina is uninvestable and if you want to make money then by all means invest in South America but keep it as far away from Argentina as possible.

On the other hand Brits spend so much money on their forces, their economy is going down the drain and not to mention that spending so much money in your armed forces will not guarantee any positive results, Irak and Afghanistan is proof of that.

But more and more imports are becoming available, and the prices on imports is slowly going down.
I doubt they have 3g available much outside of MDV and PDE , an hour outside of PDE towards Brazil the towns only have electricity a few hours a day, so for sure they don't have cell service. It is extremely removed from the rest of the world, but it is good for hippies and beach bums so have fun and enjoy you will probably change your mind when you grow up.

After seven years governing this country,Cristina Fernández de Kirchner accepts that YES, THIS IS A COUNTRY WITH VERY HIGH LEVELS OF INSECURITY. She finally recognizes that there is insecurity, this is not just a sensation. After all the deaths. It was not Clarin after all, it was not TN. After seven years of saying that middle-class people are garbage, she now wants these people to vote for her haha. How can this woman believe that good people will take her seriously? She's so dead, everything she does is wrong, she comes too late for everything, she's always running out of time.

It is not going to be pretty when Argentina takes a deep dive after the elections this year. Isn't Brazil also implementing an austerity budget? Uruguay may be a little protected from both Brazil and Argentina's slow down but not by much.
People always seem to have a little money to spend on a high so you may be OK. It doens't take much to live there anyway. Do you put your plants away when your mom visits?

@131 i don't buy drugs either
@133 i know South America's history well, but there has never been such a regional integration and Mercosur has done well to keep US interference minimal (unlike 60's)
I don't think the regional integration is as important to their economies as you. Brazil and Argentina compete with most of their manufactured items so I don't see how being integrated will help them. They will just beat each other up on pricing then get clobbered by the Chinese.
Dec 20th, 2010 - 06:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I also don't think they are well integrated or ever will be, Mercosur has been around forever and just this year there were custom blockades of Brazil and Paraguay's goods in Argentina and they are still talking about Customs integration. It will never happen. They don't play well together. Now that Brazil is the major regional player no one cares about Argentina and they don't like it. They will try to be relevant but in the end won't succeed. Just wait a bit until the peso is $4.50 and see what that does to the Brazilians. I will give you a hint, it will cause a lot of problems and Argentina will be on the losing end.
Are you planning to renounce your USA citizenship? Or will you continue to hate/bash your native country but continue to receive benefits? Hypocrite.

Marcos, what is your point? Do you think there is more drug use than in Argentina? Maybe, who cares? We have more money to spend on recreational drugs so what? Lots of people do drugs here, does it mean we are unproductive? Nope. Does it mean we are not creative? Nope.
How do I know that? I have seen undercover “police” shake down tourists that may or may not have had drugs on them coming out of clubs in Buenos Aires. I always had my driver/ex-military waiting for me by the door so luckily I never had any problems. I just had to pay bribes to the police waiting on the exit from hwy going to Znorte so they didn't search the car every time I passed. It kept happening until I made some calls to the right people to get them to stop bothering me.

I moved from BA because after awhile I couldn't stand the daily street protests, dangerous noisy smelly traffic, child beggars in the streets and restaurants, homeless gypsies screaming and crying for una pesito, lazy corrupt policemen smoking or talking on their cell phones on every corner, graffiti, and garbage piled in the street, UGH I can go on and on.
You just don't realize how gross it is because you come from some terrible tiny town in the middle of no where farm country and don't know any better. BA is nice to visit but after awhile it is a very sad place to live. I go back often to visit family otherwise I would never go back. There is a reason we have so many illegal Argentinians living here even during a bad recession.

You are comparing a city like Washington (like our one in the country side) with a population of 601,723 and a metropolitan area of 5.4 millions against Buenos Aires City with a population of 3 millions and a metropolitan area of 15 millions.
You are not any good on making choices and comparing places I guess Fedex.
Come on Fedex you are from the countryside are you? Those people that move to a large city and want green, trees, birds, and to have a pig in their apartments.
Return to Chiguagua mate there is your place.
There is no comparing Washington DC with Buenos Aires that is very true and yet this is where I rather live. I guess I don't know what I am doing. I wonder what would make me choose to live here when I can live just about anywhere in the world, travel anywhere in the world, while you poor little sudacas are stuck in a disgusting filthy dirty dangerous city with no escape. Hoping and saving snd scraping together a few hundred pesos to get to swim the filthy brown waters of Mar Del Plata for a little summer respite. Gross.
