    You can lie to all of the people some of the time.
    You can lie to some if the people all of the time.

    But you can't lie to all of the people all of the time.

    Inflation in Argentina is currently 30% next year > 40%.

    Invest in Argentina, you will lose your shirt.

    another change in the board of ypf: it´s not possible that ck lies. she´s just stupid and so will replace the director who tells something about inflation above her estimation. and the whole world has another reason to laugh about her.

    They're going to have to walk a very fine line in the lies they tell inside of Argentina and the lies they tell outside of Argentina.
    I can't imagine YPF will be listed in NY for very long
    I don't know why they're even bothering
    I'm kind of surprised Elliott hasn't gone after the Gov't shares...yet

    @6 probably because the payment obligation is specified in the bonds as being US rather than US (or its equivalent in....) as such he won't be able to attack non cash assets in lieu of payment. However, the courts could possibly freeze those assets if a judgement was not adhered to...

    Another record for the Peso at this rate it could be 10/1 by next week!

    I hope our Rg friends have put their money where their mouth is and have stashed away plenty of Pesos.
    I can't give mine away

    Finally, they will start to acknowledge that economies don't run on Marxist pixie dust and ignoring facts.

    No, Peronism is a problem. CFK is a problem. Tinpotman is a problem. PutridJelly is a problem. Laura the Tiny is a problem. Randy Florence is a problem.

    12. They've been pushing so many pesos into the economy they haven't needed them just yet....yet.

    She is strangling the Provinces and not giving them the % of taxes that they are legally required to share. I would bet in the non-gov't aligned provinces you'll see them soon.

    One more straw
    just one

    There is no inflation in Argentina - Axel Arg tells us regularly that all the stories about inflation are “made up” and Stevie confirms this is due to “bias” by all the Anglos.

    I really cannot understand why so few of you believe them..it isnt as if they haven't produced enough proof that is no inflation in Argentina: THEY've said there isnt on MANY occasions.

    Its about time all you Anglos started listening to them, especially Stevie as he LIVES THERE and you DO NOT!

    And Axel is a TEACHER, so he MUST be telling the truth.
