Poor Sussie. So unimportant.
Prices will soon be affordable to all Argentine's, CFK runs foreigners out to replace them by Argentines who will not or can not run away at the first sign of economic turmoil. The new investors will set the real state prices without the dangers of an economic bubble. This are signs the recovery is now underway in Argentina, give it exactly 6 months and prices will slowly start showing a steady increase, the only drop in prices are in the residential range witch is good for everyone who voted for CFK. Good job CFK the real state market is the best place to accumulated revenues and fuel the economy, mr foreigner can have many dollars but unfortunately the investors needs land and taxes are a good cruise control for a erratic economy riddled with crooks.

It seems that your real estate has decreased in value, 25%, at the same rate as your inflation 26%.
Many Argentines have lost money in both real estate and savings - they have LESS money to spend = buying less property and less goods= MORE unemployment= LOWER prices and LOWER profits= less building= more unemployment= LESS money for people and LESS TAXES for CFK.
Only “Mr. Foreigner” can afford to buy, because he does not save in Pesos.
In fact, be can afford to buy much more now!!
Thanks CFK!!

Toby is getting more and more delusional and he loves his conspiracy theories.
@12 sorry but almost all of the headlines are the same that appear every decade, just like your comments. The only massive concern for Argentina is the IMF kicking us out because Cristina had the balls to produce false inflation numbers. And that's if Cristina doesn't manage to buy time, and if the IMF is too impatient to wait until Cristina leaves.
Feb 19th, 2013 - 11:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The economy will implode again but Cristina still has cards to play so that it goes just as planned and the Peronists keep in rule. The only question is: what will the IMF do?

Again because you are totally incapable to argue in support of your government you continue to resort to changing the topic, at least feeble attempts.
Every article on the internet is blaming the dollar clamp because NO ONE WANTS THE PESO. 27% drop in RE combined with 30%, grocery price freezes, restricted imports, that winter is going to suck for the majority of the population in Buenos Aires. Argentina has become a wordlwide acedemic model for how NOT to manage a country.

Feb 20th, 2013 - 12:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0NEW YORK -- Soybean prices rose sharply after Argentina didn't get rains that had been forecast over the weekend, just as the crop there is nearing harvest.
March soybeans rose 45.75 cents to $14.7025 a bushel as markets reopened after the Presidents Day holiday Monday. The gain of 3.2 percent was the biggest in more than a month. Soybeans are rebounding after slumping for the past two weeks on forecasts for a strong harvest in South America.
“It's getting toward the finishing stages of the crop and it really needs a good drink of water and it just didn't happen,” Darin Newsom, a commodities analyst at DTN, said referring to the Argentinian crop.

Feb 20th, 2013 - 02:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0You understand as much about BASIC economics and finance as Yankeeboy. In other words, niente.
The nominal value of currency is meaningless, what matters is the wage-price comparison cross-country and the base year you choose.
The base year being 2003, the US dollar is WAY less valuable than any European, Asian, and most Latin American currencies, and the other “dollars” CAN/AUS/NZ, meaning the USA is cheaper and poorer now in comparison to all those nations (most of the world in fact), than it was in 2003.
Do you think Europeans and Latin Americans and Asians flooding the USA to buy property and stuff just “happens”?? That they all decided to go there for no reason?
You dummies.
@58 what can be done though? The economy will implode anyways. At least Cristina was too reckless to pass her economic timebomb to someone else before it blew up in her hands. But the Peronists will keep running everything, the only issue is who will be that Peronist and how the poisoned wine the people will drink tastes.

The central banks are not planning it you nincompoop. They are buying tons of gold and making preparations to unload their dollars through various trades and other steps. Most central bankers are smart people and they know the USA has been on “printing press panic” mode since 2003... with ridiculously low interest rates to fuel a spectacularly ruinous housing bubble and two finance two huge bankrupting wars. And to fix all those inbalances the USA has decided to print more cash...

They are buying on the dip you illiterate and disaritmotic fail, because they know it's about to go to 3000. And the reason is not gold itself will increase that much in value, it's the dollar is about to go through phase 2 of it's death. (phase one was the last 12 years where it slowly lost HALF it's value).
Phase two it will lose a 1/3 of its value in a matter of weeks... that will cause some panic, but then the US economy will live an “indian summer” of sorts, and grow strongly due to the cheap currency. Then phase 3 in 2015....
I hope you have food supplies.

WE ARE SO STUPID..... WTF? He agrees with us. You never pop a bubble. You DEFLATE it. Like what Australia has done.
No bubble popping over here. But did Argentina copy that? No they just went and crashed the whole system. Something they keep castigating the US for doing.

I can't see BN complying with the courts unless they have US branches. Either way, a serious shitstorm is brewing for ARgentina. They are many good people there that just cannot change things politically and will undeservingly get screwed, they rest get what they deserve.
Feb 22nd, 2013 - 04:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The respectable RGs blame their government and the others swallow the propagenda and blame everyone but the government. They just are too thick to understand the effects of the defualt.
Banco Nacion has branches in NYC and Miami so they're screwed. Arg gov't uses BNA as their bank, the transactions have been shielded but Griesa wants all balances and transactions reported to NY courts.

#41 if the foreigners can speak ignorance and trash about my country why shouldn't I have my own opinion about Argentina?
Feb 23rd, 2013 - 10:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#42 people like you have being protesting and claiming dooms day for Argentina since 2001 and guess what CFK took office and face the FMI all by her own while everyone else run away like a a rat.
#43 a good thing about Argentina is that they don't waste tax revenues to murder innocent Muslim women and children, I bid you can't say the same about your country! When you can come lecture us, until then fix your own nations and quit sticking
your nose where no one invited you to.
#44 CFK work against FMI speak for itself and while she fight IMF our tax revenues are safe in the national bank, it is IMF who should answer for their work in the last few years, I doubt the economic collapse wasn't in the plans. When any idiot can read a charts.

#45 lol sorry last I heard from people like you is that foreign investors are running from Argentina, I figure the prices will drop to affordable levels until all foreigners run away and then the nationals will fill the void as it happens all over the world everyday, one man loss is another mans gains, 6 months should do put that in your calendar and remember I call most of the shots and never missed one yet.
#46 with all the counterfeit dollars in Argentina the busyness of printing dollars is getting more and more lucrative, the real boom is now.
#48 I am sure you are used to murdering Muslims and raping their women and children, I can see why Argentina can be boring to North Americans and Brits, go shoot more people and let the responsible diplomats exchange political ideas.
#49 it shouldn't surprise anyone that printing dollars in Argentina is a lucrative and legitimate form of busyness, it's something similar to the cocaine industry, except coca is illegal and it take more work to make it while the dollars fly of the shelves.
#87 piss hinter opine all you want about rgentina, only do not call it you country, you fled in fear and are now Canadian for good reason.

Your stupid statement is a loud demonstration why rgentina is a toilet bowl. However you were smart enough to avoid the collapse this year. You are a coward and pussy that you cannot stand by your own country that you pretend to believe in

It's ok, you can afford to stay in denial, you don' t live in Argentina, and never will.
If you say anything else, it will undermine CFK, the main pillager of your people's wealth.
“Mr Foreigner” is unlikely to sell during catastrophic price drop and economic collapse. He will be one of those picking up the bargains when the prices bottom out - if he thinks they'll recover.
Meanwhile, the realtors, the construction companies, their suppliers, their labourers, the lending institutions, all will suffer.
The Middle Class will be crushed, paying loans on property worth a fraction of its former value. They will also be under pressure from cost of goods/living with devalued peso, perhaps unemployment, too.
The only “Nacionals” who will be able to afford even the devalued property will be those will USD $$ savings - the wealthy and 'connected' Argentines (government insiders) or foreigners.
With the economic collapse, unemployment, and lack of foreign business investment, it will be a long time before property values recover, and when they do, the average Argentinian will have been squeezed out of the market - many ruined financially.
Do you hate the average Argie that much??
Ask yourself what you will get out of this, or the other La Campora underemployed?
CFK's friends will profit nicely, but they despise your type. You are just tools for them to protect themselves - they'll dump you when you are not needed.
What a schmuck you are :-D

Pirat-Hunter (ALEX VARGAS) is a hypocrite as well as an “Economic Genius”
Ayayay......ph, alaex vargas and whatever else he goes by is a coward.......a shear and outright, unconvicted coward that believes in his so called country so much that he abandoned it. What type of a patriot runs from his country in a time of need? How strong is one's political philosophy when his actions are a total contradiction to everything he states. Like all the RG trolls here, they will have you believe they love all that kirchner is doing in her earnest efforts to destroy the country and with the latest release of trade balance accounts, she has accomplished total destruction; yet they claim to live in the free countries they ramble senseless diatribes about. They are a living paradox in all they do. Their day is now arriving and the time to pay the reaper is days away.....only there is no cash in the coffers. Kirchner needs to lay next to chubby and nestor

Feb 25th, 2013 - 01:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0PH ALEX VARGAS is a loyal member of YPF, La Campora, La Campora Juvenil for sure. Possibly also Al Quaeda, Hamas, Hezbolah, Taliban sympathiser, B'aath Party etc.
He grew up as a child in Canada, coming from Argentina at a very young age.
“Pirat-Hunter” ALEX VARGAS is a very angry young man.
He calls the Argentine people “lazy” and says they get what they deserve.
He said on his posts that the women and children on the Falklands/Malvinas“ should die” because they are “pirates” and Argentina wants their homes and land.
He says he will not return to Argentina because“ it is infested with British”.
Many of us think that he will not return because:
- he is afraid to live in Argentina
- he is a criminal and therefore, has no passport
- he is listed as a 'Terrorist' and is on the USA “no-fly list”.
or any of the above
All of the Brits and most of the Argentines on here, except “sussie”, think he is mentally-ill.
If you are Argentine, please take him back. If you want him to stay here, please realise that he is a nut case, and should be ignored.
:-D
