How can this be?
The ARS Peso is still spiraling down.
Axel, how does this affect your insistence that, “ the Argentine economy grew by 5%”?

It's down 12% now from that.

After losing over half its value, the once-mighty US dollar was bound for a secular rebound... but make no mistake, it will eventually resume a downward spiral.

“The Australian is down 15%”
Yes but it took two and a half YEARS.
The peso plunged 13% in two DAYS.
The Aussie dollar can't really be compared to the Argentine peso. The Australian dollar is a reserve currency, and it is one of the most traded currencies in the world because of the relative lack of central bank intervention, and general stability of the Australian economy and government.
Oh I forgot to mention that it only has one exchange rate and no Australian saves or uses US dollars unless travelling.
Oh and no tanking reserves.
Turkey or Thailand or South Africa might be a better comparison.
2. Toby: Not every national problem that crops up needs to be extrapolated to a global existential contagion issue,“ Nomura said. ”Most of the emerging-market world (certainly in Asia) doesn't suffer such abjectly high inflation as Argentina, doesn't have Argentina's recent record of external defaults and foreign asset expropriation, or have domestics giving up on local currencies.“
Jan 29th, 2014 - 11:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0To be sure, some do have contagion concerns latest crisis, advising investors keep their distance from Argentina.
”We cannot recall any more incoherent response to an emerging market crisis,“ James Barrineau, co-head of emerging market debt at Schroders, said in a blog posting. He expects Brazil, Uruguay and Chile may all face a hit. ”We have shed our exposure in those countries in most strategies.”

Narine T. Nüster : I don't think you can make a meaningful comparison between Australia and Argentina. Australia has a AAA credit rating from all the major credit rating agencies. It is the 12th biggest economy in the world and has the 5th highest GDP per capita. The Australian Dollar has indeed fallen in value against the USD over the past 12 months but that was from a 30-year high, so there really wasn't any direction for it to go, other than down.

Jan 29th, 2014 - 03:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0All I was confirming is that these sort of fluctuations occur even in “developed” markets, and certainly in other emerging markets.
The reason Argentina is being highlighted is because the global financial media is neither free nor objective, it is a mouth-piece of the international banking and capitalist cabal.
Is it not odd that “Argentina does not matter one bit”, yet EVERY single financial print, media, and outlet is banging on this story, all at the same time?
I have never seen that before.
There is criminality involved, which is not surprising because capitalism and capitalists de-evolved into large scale criminality a few years ago.

Why would an Oil company invest in a country that cannot pay its debts and then nationalise an Oil cpmpany ( REPSOL ) without reparation. You must think we are biased?

Paul, You are correct! My gosh is the first time! You should be proud! Oil companies DO INDEED KNOW how to deal with all kinds of slimy dictators, which is very puzzling as to why they are avoiding Argentina like it is rotting corpse.
Very odd indeed.
My guess is they are going to wait for another gov't to deal with, they know this one is done, the oil isn't going anywhere so what's the rush?
Funny thing is though, they think it will take 3 DECADES of development. Is anyone sure we'll still be using oil then?

and I'm usually right.
“December 13, 2013
Jan 30th, 2014 - 02:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ford has announced plans to hire 11,000 workers in the U.S. and Asia in 2014 as part of a global expansion plan, BBC News reports.
Ford intends to launch 23 new vehicles around the world next year, more than double the number released in 2013.
The company says it will be the fastest expansion in 50 years, and includes the new Lincoln MKC and all-new Transit family of commercial vehicles. About 5,000 workers will be hired in the U.S. and 6,000 in Asia, where Ford is opening two plants in China next year.
The recruitment drive represents an increase of close to 7% of Ford’s total workforce and is the biggest hiring push the firm has made since 2000.
Ford’s president of the Americas, John Hinrichs, made the announcement at an event introducing a new research vehicle testing driverless technology.
Among Ford’s new offerings in 2014 are a revamped Mustang sports car, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary next year, and a Lincoln MKC small utility.
“This is the fastest and most aggressive manufacturing expansion the company has undergone in 50 years,” said John Fleming, executive vice president, Ford global manufacturing. “The last time Ford was growing like this, Dwight D. Eisenhower was the U.S. president.”
Next year, Ford is due to open its Changan Ford Assembly Plant and Changan Transmission Plant in Chongqing, China, as well as Camacari Engine Plant in Brazil.
I heard of a hold in Argentina, I do see the Camacari Engine Plant in Brazil. Perhaps the driverless technology testing is for Argentina.
The new Chongqing Assembly Plant will increase the company’s production capacity in China by 300,000 units next year.”

Golf....hell would freeze over before Ford sold any cars from Argentina on of the region. Ever drive in a taxi in Argentina? Think of a tuna can enlarged with wheels.....only not so sturdy. An Argentine cabby

Jan 30th, 2014 - 10:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I saw a documentary about taxis in Argentina, apparently the documentalist gave the fare to the taxi driver and the taxi driver turned round and said it was fake. The documentalist said ok call the police. The taxi driver said “why should I call the police?” Because the note I gave you has markings on it that only I can describe. Needless to say the taxi driver said “ Ok here is your change”. This is a fact it happens frquently.
They are risky......and never take a cab without a radio (2 way) in it, they are the riskiest. And they really are tin cans..........a Hugo......only not as well made.
Jan 30th, 2014 - 11:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0well, not all taxi drivers in argentina are like those you are describing.
Jan 30th, 2014 - 11:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0anyway, even those, seem to be a lot better than british taxi drivers.

Jan 31st, 2014 - 03:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0I notice that Paulo calls you “fat boy”, and now, do does Ron-57
Paulo thinks it very insulting to call somebody “old”, the way a kid would do.
That was always “Sussie's ” way to insult as well.
Could just be coincidence - you tell me, is that what Argentine youth do, call people “old” and “fat” as insults, or just on MP ??
75. No I think its just the low class, low quality posters Arg has on this board.

Jan 31st, 2014 - 03:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0insults?
no, it was just a description.
that poopy guy is: immature + an old fart = pathetic
I noticed that also Troy........they refer to me as “old fart”, yet the funny thing is they do not know my age. They can't be out of their teens yet. Troy they having a lot of growing up to so....it's unfortunate for them it will never be in good economic times.
Jan 31st, 2014 - 09:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0I was surprised.....I noticed that Argentine wines are dirt cheap here.......I expected them to be higher. It seems they are flooding the market in desperation.
78. I am pretty convinced that the childish posters are all the same person with different nicks. It would be impossible for this tiny site to attract this many nutty Rgs that have such a hatred for the north. I lived there many years and never met 1 person that was so brainwashed and filled with hatred for the USA/UK. Not one.
Jan 31st, 2014 - 12:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Plus they all throw around the exact same insults, vagaries, whataboutery, same posting styles that it must be the same person.
I've never met any like that either yb. Though I never lived there, my extended family never sees it as well. Only contempt for the peronists. I think there are primarily 3 puppet masters responsible for a large population of posters as well. Deep down they themselves must feel like an idiot. It almost reminds me of the middle east culture where lying is an art form and accountable is an unknown concept. Plus, the middle easterners, especially the Bedouins would make such outlandish lies and truly think you would be believe it. But they love their coffee.
Jan 31st, 2014 - 01:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Most everyone I met in Argentina likes the USA, would love the chance to visit and maybe even live here. They are proud to speak English and respect our way of life.
Jan 31st, 2014 - 01:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There may be a puppet master but Rgs really can't organize and coordinate well. That's why I think the posts that are similar belong to one seriously ill person.
I think it is pretty easy to see the groupings, their style and talking points eventually give it away. Its like they can only hold in the crazy for so long until they burst.
I agree but they still have strong opinions about our way of life......as do I.
