    “Best 1st Quarter in a decade”...

    What decade? Oh, the “won decade” of K-ism.

    That makes sense.

    CFK is out, clamp is over, money comes in, farmers relax and investors lend $5b because they trust the government again...

    Waiting for NOSTRILS to denounce the farmers as traitors, and Enrique to accuse them of making a profit, investors as souled speculators etc.

    Don't they want to see Argentina successful.... ?

    So there actually are 25 billion in the Central Bank???

    1, 2, 3 for the VERY long list of people in this very website that need to apologize to former Central Bank officials then...

    You think they will apologize like men?

    or just give another chance to trot my famous age old adage?

    Stay tuned.

    @2 Aww, bless your innocence. It does not mean there is 25B to spend. Most of it is already allocated. Like when you have 100 pesos in your piggy bank but you know you owe your Mum 60 pesos for basement rent and you have to pay off 20 pesos on that loan for extra large shoes and you must eat today so that is another 20 pesos…….. you don't actually have 100 to spend.

    TTT, you used to be a lot more intelligent than this. Lairy and provocative but more intelligent.

    The peso keeps testing sub 13..... which is what I expected. As high as 12.93 today.

    The blue dolar was 14.2 before currency controls were relaxed. The market doesn't have to price in a hedge against stupid government interference so the currency is strengthening.

    With increasing exports expect it to stregthen further especially as people won't be so desperate for US dollars.

    I expect it to head into 12 territory and stay there for the foreseeable future.

    My guess is the farmers way over promised on the hoarded grains. I don't they have anywhere near u $8b sitting around.

    The peso and the economy as a whole are in uncharted waters. Much will depend on the massive (just out of reach) loans and mystical grain sales over the next quarter. If they happen as they're hoping it may come out okay.
    If not, they won't.
    Nobody knows.
    And it's way to early to predict anything.

    The current situation would make a great board game or better yet an educational simulation program to illustrate the effects of various inputs.

    Poor economically illiterate Che and Marie could use a hands on web based utility to illustrate the macro and personal effects of the coming changes and the impacts of each. At logon each player could be assigned a net worth, an income stream representative of a sector and associated expenses, a credit score and a risk based finance rate and a series of unexpected, randomized life events. Players could also vary global policies including borrowing, infrastructure investment, austerity, protectionism, etc. Inflation and net worth appreciation would be hardwired functions. Successful thievery would limited to no more than 10% of the participants and they could suffer imprisonment and civil forfeiture. Elvis and Cretina could be game icons for stupid and foolish behavior. Quite easy to flesh out from here. Recommended ages: 12 and under (the adults are too immature).

    I see you have been doing some paedo reading, as well as talking about it.

    Try Paedophilia in Argentina, then, sickening.
    Argentina:

    http://www.bishop-accountability.org/Argentina/
    “Police in Argentina say they have broken up an international network of paedophiles who swapped pornographic images and videos of children.
    More than 60 addresses across Argentina were raided.
    Police seized computer equipment they allege was used to spread and sell the images via social media sites.
    The investigation launched almost two years ago, when Interpol traced the pictures from London-based websites to internet servers located in Argentina.
    Officials said dozens of people had been charged.
    Deputy Security Secretary Dario Ruiz said members of the ring used pseudonyms to link up with other paedophiles via social networks.
    Mr Ruiz said some of the computers contained images of children younger than 10.
    He said the Argentine police had been alerted to the existence of the ring by Interpol, who in February 2011 had become aware of the existence of websites based in London which were used for sharing the images.”

    We invented it? Paedophilia?

    Who are we?

    And if we did invent something so vile as this, then why in the hell did Argentina adopt it? Copy it?

    This new poster is an imbecile.

    Anyway back to the actual article. Seems the peso is happy in the 12.9-13 range. Even though the blue dollar is still over 14.

    Seems they are haemorrhaging dollars any longer either.
