    Blue dollar hits a new historical record! 1,500 to $1 USD

    I would compare this to a company doing a stock buyback program using profits / cash flow generated from operations. That would be different from doing a stock buyback by issuing more debt which is more like what the previous administration did. One thing to keep in mind about a stock buyback...

    I don't care what they say about me as long as they spell the name of the country Argentina right.

    Milei should definitely be there! I don't understand how anyone reading through the following article can come back with a different conclusion...

    Banking What is going on with the Blue dollar? Why is it going down?

    People often use historical data to support their opinions, but we should be aware that it makes a big difference what the date range of the data is being evaluated to come to their conclusions. For example: 1. Wow, 40% increase in 2 months If you just look at the last couple of months, one...

    The Best & Worst Countries for Living Abroad (Expat survey)

    Panama, with 82% indicating they are happy there is on top of the Expat Insider list. Based on the responses on this thread thus far, the satisfaction rate for Argentina seems to be better than that of Panama. @Finance Prof pointed out that Argentina was probably left off the list due to a low...

    The Best & Worst Countries for Living Abroad (Expat survey)

    In the latest Expat Insider report, Panama took the first spot. Argentina was not in the top 10, and it's not in the bottom 10 either. Actually, it's not even listed. Maybe they never heard of Argentina? Well, let's see how Argentina actually stacks up if the expats living here are asked...

    Economy Argentina on track to start corn exports to China in July - We are on the right track

    When looking at the Argentina/China relationship, of course there are natural biases in terms of how people view who needs whom more. However, there is an universal truth and that this each country only care about their interests and all relationships between two countries are based on those...

    I don't care what they say about me as long as they spell the name of the country Argentina right.

    @Finance Prof, you're correct that the truth is somewhere in the middle. Nowadays, there's really no true non-partisan, non-biased source of information anymore. People really have to read both sides and judge for themselves. Sadly, many only read just one side now. When one side is...

    I don't care what they say about me as long as they spell the name of the country Argentina right.

    If you only listen to one side of the story, you never get to the truth. The guy who claims Milei was not invited by the named organization doesn't actually have license to use that name. So, no, he was not punked. Milei was invited by the founder of the institute and holder of the license to...

    Banking Details about bringing in ALL those US Dollars that are held outside Argentina

    With the Bases Law in the pocket, Milei is free to implement a "more persuasive" Tax Amnesty program to bring back more dollars. Milei's administration seems to have developed a reputation of being able to find corruption and fraud in places where others did not want to look or were previously...

    To anyone who does not believe getting foreign investments is a very important priority for Argentina, then we can just agree to disagree and you don't have to read the rest of this post. Foreign investment includes getting loans from organizations such as the IMF, the World Bank, and for...

    I don't care what they say about me as long as they spell the name of the country Argentina right.

    I keep seeing comments from people criticizing Milei's oversea trips, even from those who generally support his policies. Let's not forget that one of Milei's objectives is to make Argentina business friendly for international investors. All the changes in the world won't help if no one knows...

    Milei orders military parades for Independence Day celebrations - I thought No Hay Plata!

    Before rushing to judgement about the incident of the old man being sprayed, consider these points: 1. The officers who actually sprayed him and the other protesters are behind two lines of other officers directly facing the protesters. That means it's unlikely they saw them clearly or...

    Milei orders military parades for Independence Day celebrations - I thought No Hay Plata!

    Everyone certainly can disagree with how the government chooses where to spend or where not spend taxpayers' money. The government has many priorities that are related and many that are not related as well. It's totally fine if you believe that the money should be spent somewhere else, but I...

    How much money does it take to be in the upper 5% of wealth in Argentina?

    I think people focus too much on the typical classifications of socioeconomic classes and top/bottom x%. I believe the following classifications are more helpful: * Struggling * - struggling (uncertain) to have enough money to fund the basic necessities such as food, shelter, healthcare. *...

    Be careful on the Subways and Bus lines - Gangs attacking to rob and steal items and phones

    It obviously depends on which parts of the US. NYC for example is very scary now. It's one thing to get robbed and face the possibility of being injured if you resist, but this is what the New Yorkers are reading in the news nowadays about their subway system... A man set a cup of liquid on...

    Anyone else started coming to this site because the other site's moderator(s) are very biased?

    I have never received an email indicating any of my posts violated any rules and no emails letting me know that any of them were deleted. My posts used to become live immediately until I apparently ended up on a restricted list of some sort. None of my posts on any platform have ever been...

    Anyone else started coming to this site because the other site's moderator(s) are very biased?

    Yes, it's definitely ok to have different opinions, and I always try to debate in a civil manner. After that post, I noticed days later that new posts are held for review for a long time, and then recently I started noticing some of my replies to other threads being deleted. Those are replies...

    Anyone else started coming to this site because the other site's moderator(s) are very biased?

    Seems like the following thread I posted triggered too many people: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Milei is well qualified and succeeding as president of Argentina Milei got himself elected by offending a lot of people and then...

    Anyone else started coming to this site because the other site's moderator(s) are very biased and many posters are suffering from MDS (Milei Derangement Syndrome)?
