    They used close to 1 billion in the past couple of months selling dollars to kepp the blue dollar low. They seem to understand that aspect of economic, simple supply and demand. Yet they blow it everywhere else.

    With 27 billion in reserves and just over 27 billion earmarked, their only hope is to continue no paying foreign trade accounts, which is 7.5 billion and pray Vanilla (central bank) can get China to renew their swaps for 11 billion. Hard to think that they will considering China's current situation.

    Argentina literally has no money, assuming that they will pay their bills. Take that for what it is worth.

    A word to my Argentine neighbors across the Andes: your Peso has been kept at a ridiculous exchange rate to support your corrupt Peronist government that has plundered Argentina's wealthy resources and nearly ruined your future economy for a generation. Before the upcoming election, buy anything you can with what will be soon highly devalued Pesos. Tinned jurel (mackerel) will far better hold its value in your kitchen than Pesos in your bank. Obviously, Dollars will remain the best, but not deposited in the bank.

    There are a number of beautiful wineries in Mendoza on the market that will be forced into auction in January, but I think they'll be even more of a bargain in March... ...it's really sad what's about to happen when the economy collapses, but we all saw the writing on the wall two years ago.

    Just watch ufpix go to the moon when chile admits it is in a serious recession and colombias bs castro peace pact doesnt hold. Germany and uk manufacturing in the toilet. The ruble collapse was just the beginning. Will the bottom fall out from chile and uruguay? Yes. Walmart is following cnco in the gutter. Argentinas devaljTion is another leg down for chile stocks. Chile corporate debt is an enormous bubble. China hinged. Capital wipeout is what any socialist wants. So far this nueva mayoria has been successfully ddstructive like their kirchner and tSipras friends. Good advice for the argentines chicurero... Now spread the word in santiago

    More garbage from doom and gloom prophets who have been announcing a collapse of the Argentine's economy and keep pushing back the date for the catastrophe as time goes.
    Their shallow economic cliches, a mix of Chicago Boys, Reaganomics and Thatcherism, cannot fathom how Argentina has succeeded in lifting the poorest, expanding the middle class, making possible the retirement of three million citizens with not sufficient contributions and keep moving forward.
    Don't feel too bad for them as they are not the only ones. The IMF, the EU and others are in the same bind.

    You can say disparaging remarks about Chile, and YES we're about to go into a serious recession. Most of our mining sector is cutting back on new developments and new investment is about to go into a very sluggish protracted few years. Our socialist-reformist government has made too many countless expensive promises while discouraging new investors. She's not a bad person, and despite her dodgy son, she's not a thief like Dilma and Cristina, but she's incompetent.

    On the positive side, we have the lowest level of corruption in South America, the strongest fully independent central bank, positive business environment, solid reputation for being a safe harbor for long term investment with fair tax laws and a substantial “rainy day fund” for unexpected emergencies.

    Chileans are considered far more honest and hardworking than our Argentine neighbors, as shown by our police and armed forces. We are well set to defend our national interests with the best army, air force and navy. (Unlike the ARA, our warships don't roll over and sink while tied up in the harbor...)

    Columbia, Peru, Chile, Uruguay, and Paraguay can survive (obviously with pain) a major recession. Argentina, Ecuador, Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina will need a bloody government overthrow.

    And why would those countries survive a recession, and the others not? The only difference I see is that one group has governments you like, the others governments you hate. What kind of basis is that to make the statement?

    Russia has a device that prevents the detection of its forces by radar or even satellites. This equipment is installed in northern Syria to not to interfere with civil aviation in Israel. Russian planes cross the border of Turkey and no one sees them.

    At this point it is quite clear something that, most of the islanders or british people, probably don't know because they don't understand the way fascist/peronists think and act. For peronist people be “loyal” to their leader, CFK, is something to be proud of so, they like to show off with their loyalty to “the cause”.

    It is not that strange to read comments posted in forums with the real given and family names basically because they want to be read but mainly they want to be noticed, publically, that they are loyal to their leader.

    This is a very common practice if you work in a public institution or company. This loyalty will, eventually, assure them to keep on working there and even with better positions.

    Enrique Massot seems to be the perfect example of this kind of peronist people. He does exist, he lives in Canada. I checked him in facebook but I don't know where he works...most probably in a consulate or something like this....

    Brasileiro, it is something called radar jamming and the truth is that it isn't new and nor is it a secret Russian weapon .. in fact, it was invented by the British during WWII and the standard NATO versions are not only vastly superior to the Russian systems, but NATO have long since figured out how to totally neutralise Russian radar jamming with their own countermeasures. Maybe you should read a little less RT propaganda and bring your reading materials in to the 21st century (or even just the latter half of the 20th century).

    In addition, the current monetary base of the Central Bank (pasive of it) at the U$D official rate is U$D 58.000 million while the “official” reserves (active of it) are U$D 27.000 million...do you know the meaning of this?

    Good to see your thoughtful posts.

    Frankly it's been impressive how the Argentine Peso has held its exchange in such a strong stable situation. Our Peso, despite our conservative central bank and balance sheet, here has been repeatedly devalued like most of the world. Personally, I think good for the economy. (This silly talk about the Dollar losing its importance in world trade has been proved terribly premature.)

    You have to tip your hat to Cristina keeping the Argentine economy fairly stable prior to Presidential elections, but we all know it's going to be incredibly difficult to maintain the phantom economy afterwards...

    Certainly, Justin Trudeau is a big promise for Canada and has already showed to be a gentleman. In spite of millions in attack ads that depicted him as “not ready,” he pulled from behind and in a brilliant campaign managed to end the nine-year reign of authoritarian, ultra conservative, ideologue of a return to darkest ages, Stephen Harper.

    To complete a week of good things, now I look forward to the triumph of the Victory Front, so that Argentina can continue walking forward. (In spite of the naysayers from inside and outside).

    Don't try to play the role of canadian liberals...you have nothing in common with them. You are a the opposite. You are a peronist which means you are a fascist who likes populism...NOTHING IN COMMON !!!

    Domingo Faustino Sarmiento wrote: “Civilizacion o barbarie”....nowadays it is quite clear that Canada chose civilization but, sadly, Argentino chose barbarism.

    Liberalismo = Civilizacion
    Peronismo = Barbarie

    Last Friday there occurred the largest short position on rotting roadkill currency futures since 2001.

    The betting money says that the K's will retain power and that the whole enterprise is going down the tubes.

    Viva la perronistas (in perpetuity or that is until the place is liquidated, busted up and sold to the adjoiners.)

    Wow German.
    Prey tell MP readers why the “barbaric” government of Juan Peron was deposed by a bloody coup in 1955 whose authors then banned Peronism as a political expression for two decades, famously failing to make it disappear?

    Based on the post of Captain Poppy it seems that you support the current venezuelian government. Does anybody need another proof of Enrique's support to fascist governments?

    The “barbaric”, fascist and populist government of Juan Domingo Peron (the very same person who decorated Francisco Franco, Augusto Pinochet and Alfredo Stroessnerr) was deposed by a coup for several reasons. The main one is that the peronist party illegally changed the Natiuonal Constitution aiming to keep on ruling the country for decades.

    Peronism was banned as nazi party is currently banned in Germany. Unlukily they failed to make peronism desapear from history.

    Peronism appeared in 1946. Since them they ruled Argentina 53% of the time. Since 1984 peronism ruled the country 75% of the time. Since 1984 peronismo ruled Provincia de Buenos Aires 87.5% of the time....The results and achievements of peronism can be seen daily.....

    Peronism was taken down by a bloody, illegal coup d'etat by the armed forces which continued a tradition they had already started in 1930 and continued until 1976, of deposing constitutionally elected governments.
    The armed forces were of course the executors of the politics of a reactionary Argentine oligarchy that for half a century prevented any progressive government (not only peronist) from steering the country towards economic independence and social justice.
    And no amount of patching can cover that.

    Gee Quequi.....are you going to re-write history and ignore the bloody coup d' estat that put that old Army Colonel into power? Or......is that a good coup?

    pgerman most non-indoctrinated people see the ultimate goal of Peronism.....one party utopia like Cuba. They don't rule independent city of Buenos Aires, as much as they want to. Cunt lips we be running in 4 years........bookmark this post. But it will not matter much by then.

    The illegal coup d'etat tradition started in 1930 with the support of the church and conservative and nacionalist parties ending the “liberal Argentina” and starting the “Nacionalist Argentina”. Peron was part, he was Colonel, of the coup d'etat of 1930. Peronism was the political continuation of this coup d'etat.

    The second presidency of J. D. Peron was an illegal government because the National Constitution was illegally changed. You cannot ignore this.

    There were some people executed by those who organized the coup d'etat. This was clearly wrong but peronism took revange with the killings of Montoneros and Accion Argentina Anticomunista. Two bllody peronist organization that killed plenty of people during the '70. You cannot ignore this.

    I will agree with you on one thing: too much blood was shed between 1930 and 1983 in Argentina.
    However, the country has come a long way since then, by establishing a more stable democracy, thanks to men such as former president Alfonsin in the 1980s.
    Democracy is now well established in Argentina.
    Many of those who, usurped the state and used its resources to kidnap, torture and murder fellow country people in the 1970s have been prosecuted, convicted, and are now behind bars.
    On Sunday the country will again exercise its right to elect a new government.
    That, to me, is enough to celebrate.

    THE BOMB THAT NEVER EXPLOTED.
    Next sunday we are going to choose a new president, but without suffering any of the social and economic calamities that some of those cretins called economists, who are usually invited by our hegemonical press, have warned for the country since 2003.
    This should be criticised also by those hypocrites who often complain about the denounces of corruption cases that involve C. F. K's administration only, and who dare to give us lessons of democracy.
    The only one thing that those rabbles have done, was to scare people, with the purpose of getting social acceptance for the reactionary policies that destroyed this country for decades, in fact, they repeated once and again that if the government didn't do a hard cut on our national budget, then the economy was going to suffer a catastrophic crisis, beside, they used to say something similar in relation to our conflict with the vultures, in fact, they tried to make us believe that if C. F.K's government didn't comply with the usurious rulling of an adict judge like Griesa, then the bomb was going to explote soon, now my question is, have you heard the noice?, i ask you this because if after more than one year of Griesa's decision, our economy is growing, then it shows clearly that it would have been an absolut imbecile decision to pay those sons of a bitch what they pretended, instead of defending our two debt restructurings.
    If in this conflict there was a monolitic posture by all politic parties, as it happens with the malvinas cause, perhaps the vultures accepted to charge what all the rest of holders got, however they insisted on their posture, because they heard that those imbeciles called conservatives (Macri, Massa, etc), manifested that they will comply with Griesa's decision, or with something too similar, if they win the election, now they don't say it anymore, because they know it's a too stupid mistake.

    “THE BOMB THAT NEVER EXPLOTED”

    I think you mean:- “The bomb that never exploded”

    Now, where is YankeeBoy when you need him? He saw this coming and he did warn you. You didn't listen to him then and I'll bet you wouldn't listen to him now.

    Where ever he is I bet he'll be saying something like:-

    “I don't want to say I told you so but I did”

    and

    “Damn!! I just hate being right all the time”

    Still, all that matters is that you think that KFC has done a GREAT job for argentina.......oh well, fools never differ.
