    I wonder how Kirchners resignation would effect the share price. I'm guessing not negatively.

    An interesting visual representation of the mechanics of freefall, methinks.

    Economy going under at 9.81 ms^-2

    Got to love socialism.

    @1. Please. The word is “affect”. Please look up the difference between “effect” and “affect”. Every time someone does something like this, it's an affront to the English language.

    I have asked many times “ why is there 4 exchange rates ”? Does anyone know? Any Argentines care to give me an answer, ( no abuse ) just a serious answer.

    I admit I don't pay much attention to your throw-away posts.

    Didn't see the joke.

    But then, nobody besides you, thinks you're funny.

    14. I think Voice is funny in a sad and pathetic way.
    Does that count?

    If he and Think weren't such d*cks I'd feel sorry for them.
    but I don't

    Fear not!

    Neither rotting roadkill nor its stock exchange is a danger to anyone other than rotting roadkill. It is infinitesimally small.

    Per the World Federation of Exchanges' September 2014 report, the market capitalization of the entire BCBA was 00.34% of that of the NYSE. This figure is computed at the blanco rate so in reality it is closer today to 00.18% of that of the NYSE's capitalization.

    Tiny. Insignificant. Like you, Elvis. The NYSE is Two Thousand, Two Hundred and Seventy-eight (2,778) times larger than rotting roadkill's exchange. These figures put the insignificance of Cretina and Cap and the Tinman in perspective. Even if rotting roadkill weren't so sickly and highly flawed - it's absence would be hardly noted on the world stage save for the corruption and demagoguery of its leaders.

    rotting roadkill, your Gringo Amigos salute you for being insignificant as other than comic relief.
