Argentine bond prices going up “as the less time you have left in office”
Cristina Fernandez made a reference to Argentine bonds that backfired Joseph Cotterill, the Financial Times journalist who was quoted by Argentine President Cristina Fernández during her Congress address as proof the country has recovered financially, responded critically to the Head of State.
“I read a tweet by one of the Financial Times main journalists, Joseph Cotterill that said 'Argentina finally made it: Argentina's 2033 restructured bonds are trading above par',” said the president on Sunday before beginning her three hours plus state of the nation speech.
But Cotterill immediately tweeted back he thinks Argentina's restructured bonds prices are increasing for an entirely different reason: “Thanks for the mention in your speech, @CFKArgentina. But I fear that the bond's price is going up the less time you have left in office,” he said.

***Readers to be reminded that the opinions of Ozzers, as well as the nation of Australia, are totally and completely and thoroughly IRRELEVANT in the daily lives of Argentines or the nation of Argentina. The flapping of a butterfly in Estonia may however be slightly more influential

Funny that it is the Arg. people who are raising the bond prices in anticipation of CFK's imminent departure.
How does the Jewish community in Argentina feel about her leaving, Nostrils?
No more immunity for CFK - maybe they can find out how she was covering up the murder of 85 Jewish Argentines, in their own country!!
