Sep 05th, 2012 - 09:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0I do not think Argentina is full of Lemmons,I understand what you are getting about,but the main producing state is Tucuman,largest producer in the world,surpassing California,in 1998.Production over 1,3 millions tons,compared with 830,000 in California

Sep 05th, 2012 - 01:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Except that the proteccinist measures,dated way back,even when there was NO PROTECTION from Argentina.However,it is not a problem selling to Europe,Canada,etc......Strange that the USA,protect agriculture and does not protect industry,which is almost gone....Sugar is another protected industry in USA
Joel Bowman until recently resided in BsAs and puffed the country mercilessly even when things were really going down the toilet.
Sep 05th, 2012 - 01:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Bill Bonner has a ranch near to Salta and The DR has for a while been promoting Argentina to the disgruntled Americans!
I have taken The DR for five years and have made money following their advice on gold (up to a point). However, they seem to have got bigger and more aggressive with respect to wanting everybody to sign up to one of their deals and apart from Eric Fry they seem to be losing their grip on reality.

“believe what you type and what you are feed for information”
Who is feeding me with information according with you?
Herman Van Rompuy or Angela?
You are so wrong Argentina media is very pro US the thing is that I’m also European and we don’t buy that propaganda crap.
“Come to the USA......my treat and I will put you up and see for yourself.”
Why I should go to US when I can live much better in Germany, France, Norway or whatever I would like to go within EU?
Do you think that I’m any kind of “kamikaze” that being able to live in Europe I will chose Buenos Aires because is worse?
I’m really glad to live in Buenos Aires specially confirming what I was seeing in Europe some years ago.
I saw all these crisis coming, and the fantasy of what is to live on pure debt.
I have my own business, I own my house, I don’t owe a cent to any bank, I do whatever I want, etc...
So who cares if the GDP of US, Germany UK, Italy, are bigger than the Argentine?
Are we in any competition?
What matters is what the country can offer to me and Argentina has a lot to offer if you can adapt to the Argentine culture. What is a mix of European cultures so very easy to adapt for a European.
I guess that for Americans is a cultural shock, who knows?
The only thing that I miss from Europe is the price of cars and Bikes.
Well no place is perfect...
By the way do you have any proof of the existence of Mr. God?
You just saw the propaganda on CNN?
Or you are talking about Diego Maradona?

God doesn’t exist Mr. Poppy sorry some one have to tell you the truth. Just a human ferry tale invented to impose fear and domination over weak people.
We like to do this kind of stuff in Europe...

Sep 10th, 2012 - 07:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 070% of Argentines Disapprove of Populist Leader's Economic Policies
BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- President Cristina Kirchner's popularity has fallen dramatically amid worries of high inflation according to Argentine polling company Management & Fit. Just 30% of Argentinians approve of her handling of the economy, an approval rating that has continued to drop over the last year.
According to reports, growing public discontent is largely a result of economic contraction and soaring inflation, which has eroded purchasing power. The nation's statistics agency, INDEC, reported an annual inflation rate of 9.9% in July, but private analysts estimate it is running well above 20%. The Kirchner Administration bans the publication of independent economic data that conflicts with the Government's reports and formally suspended three consumer-focused NGOs this week after they published inflation data that differed from official statistics.
“Argentina's runaway inflation – now among the highest in the world – reflects the degree and depth of the Kirchner Administration's economic mismanagement. The Argentine people are still suffering from President Kirchner's mismanagement of the debt default and restructuring. The failure to repay the country's debt to private creditors has left the government effectively locked out of the international credit market and has discouraged foreign investment. Price subsidies and strict currency controls have added to the country's macro-economic problems.”
”It is no surprise that the President's popularity wanes as Argentina's real inflation statistics become known. These poll results illustrate that the majority of Argentines do not support the government's protectionist and isolationist economic agenda. In

No nationalised foreigner can vote in Argentina either, you have to obtain the nationality first.
And for yanks and Brits its not easy even Bolivians can get documents faster.
But don’t worry wouldn’t be so hard to find a Mexican, Cuban or a poor yank to perform the voting stuff for sexy Sarah Porn Palin.

About your article:
Was wrote by Arnaldo Paulini, an economist resident in Argentina that none knows not even his mother.
Now can you please provide us any link to any paper/work from this guy published in any serious economic publication with some level of international recognition?
Don’t bother you cannot because none knows him and I really doubt that you are willing to find any other article from this guy.
But I can provide you a link to an interview to “Jim Rogers” a well establish American and international investor. Respected for the investor community worldwide who says “America is collapsing”
