    I see El think is making things up again......

    And its also clear that the rest of Argentina holds a different opinion than El think given the illegal greenback market has so massively increased over the past year.

    As Think knows, the RG economy is rapidly falling less than 2% growth yoy, tax revenues are not keeping up with inflation, gov't coffers are empty and they have jsut lost multi U$ BILLIONS in fresh loans from WB and IDB (next).
    The inflation should be slowing due to the negative growth in the economy, but why is it still over 25%?
    What the Ks have done in Argentina is called STAGFLATION, it is the absolute worst thing that can happen to an economy and there is no way out of it now.
    Massive Devaluation/Hyperinflation/ Generational Depression is imminent.

    BTW I wouldn't be surprised if the car companies are finally done with this unstable country and pull out during the next crash so there goes most of their mfg base. Watch and learn how to ruin a country in just under 10 yrs.

    Everyone that shops for basic goods needs to keep thir receipts. Then on each economic quarter, compare the prices. WARNING: It's illegal to share the results, but at least you will know.

    There will always be Argentinian cars: the MAD Empress without clothes has a solution...read the news article “Cristina reflota sueño del auto argentino”.

    Inflation is expected in Argentina.When there isnt much inflation people get anxious. Venders also take advantage of inflation 'We have to raise our prices cos theres inflation' they say. And when you sign a property lease in ARgentina its for 3 years with an agreed yearly rent rise of 20- 25 %! Its these aspects that dont help. They are their own worst enemies it seems

    Shall I explain @7? We're close to the end of October. Argieland has until December to get its figures correct. How to explain a difference of 17% in two months?

    1 Think ..........
    I thought you were aware that the Argentine economy had imploded early in 2002.
    The next implosion will come soon, it's inevitable. My guess is late 2013 to 2014.

    ”And second of all, please do not ask me to do things that only a stupid person would do. I’m not stupid. I’m just a regular guy who made some money. I will neither sell my dollars at the official exchange rate nor at the black market price. Leave them [dollars] where they are as they are well kept.”

    #1 Exactly. Seems Cristina has brought down inflation, so by the standards of the conservatives themselves she must be doing something right!
