Argentina is after US$ 15bn which will help pay creditors on its ongoing litigation, since the country defaulted back in 2001. Read full article

    What has rg's credit history cost them in premium for financing?

    10%?

    20%

    30%?

    40%?

    50%?

    100%?

    200%?

    300%?

    No, 333% higher interest cost than good credit pays.

    Rg pays 3 1/3 times more.

    The 10 year US Treasury yield last week was 1.757%.

    Rg pays 7.625% interest on its 10 year today.

    Rg's 10 year finance cost is 433% that of the US's as the rg economy shrinks another 1 to 3 percent versus 2% growth for the US.

    Why would you want to associate yourself with yanquiboy's prognostications?

    At best they were as insightful as the malvinistas rolling prediction that the FIs will be Argentine within 25 years.

    yanqui's catastrophic predictions were always “just around the corner” .
    On the few occasions he was concise with a prediction, hilarity often ensued.

    My favourite was when he called me delusional for betting that the Libertad would be returned to Argentina. He declared:

    “My guess the ship will be on its way to UK as soon as Singer finds a crew.”

    Then proceeded to demonstrated a complete ignorance of how the real world works in justifying his “guess”, before putting this little cherry on the top or his forecast:

    “I will be one of the 1st people on board when it gets to NYC!”

    Maybe that is where he is. Sitting at the dock, looking out to sea, dwelling on all his failed predictions...waiting for the Libertad to sail in.

    A just ending for the yanqui sock.

    As some in here may know..., I'm strongly opossed to the foreign indebtment of Argentina by undemocratic regimes or by our speculative financial elites, as it has happened so many times in the past...
    Today..., it could easily be the beginning of yet another such period of indebment for my Country...
    ... Luckily, things change, information is freely available and this time they are many Thinking, informed Argentineans closely monitoring the behaviour of our lying financial pack of wolwes and reacting accordingly...

    That brings me to the comment of that Yanki Turmip at (4) that says...:
    “The 10 year US Treasury yield last week was 1.757%.
    Rg pays 7.625% interest on its 10 year today.
    Rg's 10 year finance cost is 433% that of the US'”

    Well, the above is intrinsically true..., as it is the following...:
    “The 10 year US Treasury yield today is 1.775%.
    Germany pays 0.181% interest on its 10 year today.
    Yankee 10 year finance cost is 970% that of Germany”
    http://www.tradingeconomics.com/bonds

    Another intrinsic truth that can be infered from the above link is that...:
    Argentina pays... 7.625% interest on its 10 year today.
    Colombia pays.... 7.890% interest on its 10 year today.
    Perú pays............. 6.015% interest on its 10 year today.
    Mejico pays..........5.809% interest on its 10 year today.

    In short, Argentina is paying pretty much the same interest rates today as other regional Countries that have followed the Neo Liberal Economic recipe for decades...

    Here's the really funny thing about Singer:

    Rgs think that its about the bonds.

    Singer whipsawed the merval multiple times.

    Each time that he drove the market to and fro his speculative positions caught the movement coming and going were capitalized on.

    Soros' interests held much of the opposing positions.

    Soros held on in 2014 and even pressed his bet.

    The 2015 bloody nose was bad enough that Soro's has vastly reduced his latam holdings at a time when others are out bargain hunting.

    The bonds were just a bloody piñata to blindly swing at and in doing so exert external economic pressure and internal political pressure on rg markets to produce movement when advantageous.

    After a while it became obvious that the hedge funds were going to actually do a little better than even their most positive internal direction had predicted.

    So the piñata actually held a few pesos.

    Imagine that.

    And the hedge funds speculated on latam markets.

    No?

    And the collaborator Soros reaped a little grief for his attempted inference in the play.

    Say it ain't so.

    Two wrongs don't make a right - but three do

    lol.

    Viva la Yanqui Capitalists - because after all someone does have to clean up all the rotting road kill littering the landscape of the third world, failed state latam.

    I seem to recall the GOP Messiah, Reagan had debt go from 1.377 in 9/83 to 2.857 trillion in 9/1989. And that was with 11 tax increases on the working and middles class. Perhaps there was so much debt from the 11 million illegal immigrants he gave amnesty to. I remember those days well. His SDI “Stars Wars” speech was a hummer. But hey, I voted for him twice.

    Let's not forget about the S&L bailout to the tune of 157 billion in a 30 bond, for those of us NorthAmoans who paid taxes on the disaster. Does anyone remember the B word name involved in that? Cost:

    The $157-billion bailout was financed by floating 30-year bonds, the interest on which will make the ultimate cost much higher. The actual total will depend on what interest rates end up being between 1990 and 2020, but estimates range from $500 billion to $1.4 trillion (in other words, 1,400 billion dollars).

    But, water under the bridge, what can you do? But, being we are talking history, does anyone know which American president in the past 50 years had the most staff serving prison time for outright corruption? Ahhh hell, ok, of any POTUS?

    Sure, Obama started the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and paid Halliburton a fortune for next to nothing bought without competition - according to GOP propaganda. Obama was probably also the mastermind behind the Vietnam war - according to GOP propaganda.

    George Wingnut and his cronies took over a healthy economy and created an economic chaos with a future debt of almost 8 trillion over the 6 trillion incurred directly from his brilliant “Mission accomplished” warfare. Obama inherited a filthy mess.

    There is much to be said of the Republican Messiah, Reagan. First off, for those of us who lived trough the 70's and not in diapers, unemployment in 1975 surpassed 9% long before the peanut farmer took office. Then dropping to under 6% in 1979. Only three times have they exceeded those numbers and that was in the early 2000's.

    Then we had the early 1980's recession with unemployment reaching almost 11% in 1982......two years in Ronnie's greatest acting gig. Some states hit 20% inflation under Reagan.....do you not remember that? I was wearing boots so I hardly cared one bit.

    Then in 1982.......even the inflation hit almost 22% under the the actors guild. I remember some friends getting mortgages with 17% rates and being thrilled. Amazing huh Freddy, image selling Quincy Court at those rates.

    Then of course Reagan pushed through 11 tax increases on the working class while cutting them on the rich and increasing the SS witholding rates. Then the magic Reagan performed granting amnesty to 11,000,000 illegal immigrants.

    Remember WebTech?

    Ed Meese?

    Savings and Loans..........ahhhhhhh, a stroll down memory lane.

    TEFRA 1982 100,000,000,000 tax hike........largest since WWII.....then SDI and tripling of the national debt in 8 short Reagan years.

    Yup, we need more conservatives like Reagan Mr. Heat Riser.

    W. left the Whitehouse just as the damage to US Financial Institutions had started, directly leading to a disasterous chain of events from unsecured debt - housing collapse, job loses, public debt...

    They are the ones that influence Congress to “stop” or “block” Obama, the elected President in every social or economic initiative or reform.

    That is government OF the People, but NOT government BY the People or FOR the People.

    He's not too far away from securing the votes necessary.

    Oh dear... oh dear... oh dear... Freddie... :-(

    Trump was walking away with the nomination. Immensely popular with the “uneducated” and the frustrated.

    Jeb Bush was reluctantly led to the podium by his mother, like a lamb to the slaughter.

    When it was clear that he had no support from the mob, and they favoured Trump, he quit.

    Trump
    won every Primary handily, until it became clear to the GOP that he stood a very good chance of becoming nominated.
    .
    The next Primary, the GOP spent $70m ( 70/130m spent) directed at Trump, their own candidate. Trump lost that one to Cruz, a Party 'insider'.

    I think everybody on FB, including realtors, saw the viral video of Trump denouncing the Republicans and the Democrats “fixing” the Primaries to keep him and Bernie Sanders from being nominated.

    Bernie and The Donald are both popular and resonate with the young. They both bring up questions the 'mainstream candidates' won't mention.

    Trump is undermined by his party's attack ads. Bernie gets the popular vote, but the Democrat Superdelegates are all backing Hillarity.

    The Congress and Senate are supposed to act as checks and balances, not stonewall the government to paralyze it and make their own edicts. That's not representational government.
    Surely not what the founding fathers had in mind.

    The Republican Party has vocally and repeatedly said it will block or stop Obama any way it can.

    What are the “dumb things”, health care, corporate tax reform, progressive taxation, education funding?

    BTW,
    Cruz would dismantle the EPA, abolish the Board of Education, ban abortions, stop funding Planned Parenthood, and make the individual State governments automomous.

    women and non-land holders lose the vote?

    The Republicans mantra, cut spending ......until it affects my state. GOP are really just rainy day socialists.

    Remember FEMA and New Orleans?

    “Way to go, Brownie!”

    Anyway...

    Hopefully the Argentines pay back the Hold outs.

    Liberals love to pick and choose parts of a whole story and us those parts to make up their own.

    Stupid people do that a lot too

    That's why they are angry.

    Poor Mister Heat Riser, one can just feel the hostility and frustration in his posts. The world is left or right in such a closed mind. I'm thinking he either lost money in Vegas or those Quincy Courts didn't sell.

    Troy, the GOP even wanted to abandon one of the most historical cities in the USA after Katrina because Dr. Evil tried convincing W to not rebuild it.

    Bushes failures need an index. Medicare D, the un-negotiated drug sales to Medicare.......what a fucking deal for the American public. remember Valerie Plame, CIA? Poor Libby, thrown under the bus for Dr. Evil. But the first and foremost is his failure to finish Afghanistan and leading the USA into Iraq under false pretense costing good young men who willing to die for bald, fat fucks way of life so needlessly, thinking otherwise. It's so far out now that these young people barely know of the great Iraqi lie.

    You appear to be angry, yourself.

    You must be projecting.

    Did you realize that one of Freddy's favorite places is the Peach Pit? Queer as a$3.50 bill. Now I hardly care about one's sexuality, but it's the way conservative republicans go about it.......attacking them openly and pretend to be hetero.
    I think he internalizes his anger for not being accepted in the GOP for who he is......a gay, bald, old gay man. Poor bastard......now I understand his anger.

    @52 Capt

    I don't want to comment on his sexuality.

    As long as it's not illegal and he's not participating in destination sex tourism, etc.

    However, I agree that he shows signs of being a hypocrite when it comes to reconciling his political beliefs to his other statements on MP.

    He is happy to enjoy the privileges and stability of living in the most powerful nation on earth, yet he shows disdain and contempt for the US Servicemen and Veterans who do the fighting and dying on his behalf.

    A thoroughly contemptible individual.

    All's fair in war in my circles. You will never get anything PC from me.

    However the essense of my post is the he himself has anger issues and most likely from the fact that his own party with whom he admittedly aligns himself with does not accept him and are quite the hypocrites. As I said, I can care less who one marries or has sex with, but be consistent in ones believes. He's a “good” catholic as well and they push him aside also.

    Fred,
    Be gay, or Catholic, or both. Who cares?

    You are the only one here who has shown he doesn't know what he is talking about.

    You make ridiculous statements in a deliberately offensive and antagonistic manner - but when it comes right down to it, your facts are wrong and you can't back them up.
    Even the arguments you don't run away from, you lose.

    You're like the crazy guy on the park bench, ranting at invisible foes.

    Keep posting...

    you're just background noise, now.

    ... and yet, you are consistently incapable of successfully defending any of the inane statements you mindlessly repeat.

    Yawn.

    No, you've got that wrong as usual.
    You're incapable of understanding my posts.
    You have very low reading comprehension.
