    Morgan Stanley Upgrades Banking Stocks in Argentina - Bank stocks surging ahead

    I got in when Stanley Druckenmiller did. When I heard him on TV speaking about how it was a good time to get in I followed his lead. Usually these people aren't wrong. He is up big on his portfolio. I just did the same as he did buying the largest ADR's. I'm up over 100% this year. Now the...

    What is the purpose of this? Is this for safety so kids don't fall off the balcony?

    Any expats own gun in Argentina? Do you want to own a gun or firearm here in our country?

    I also support gun rights in America but like there aren't many guns here at all. I can see in the countryside or more rural areas the argument for having guns but I think for Latin America more guns = more problems typically. Guns usually fall into the wrong hands here. But then again I see a...

    Politics Thread: President Javier Milei - From Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) to Today

    This will make you happy @Avocado. Milei isn't going to go anywhere for vacation. He is doing this just for you. Not only him but any government officials.

    Trip Reports A nice selection of Argentinian wines at a supermarket in London

    That is unbelievable wine is so cheap there compared to Argentina. I guess they are making all their money domestically then if it's more expensive in Coto than the UK considering all of those taxes and shipping.

    G20 Summit: Argentina signed an agreement to export Vaca Muerta gas to Brazil

    There is still a lot of upside. Many of these stocks got beaten down so badly. YPF was over $65 back in 2005 and I think it has more potential now with Milei. I have held on to YPF for over 2 years now and it's gone up almost 400%. I am not selling. I will ride it out. PAM is also a good play...

    Chori - Delicious Choripan Restaurant in Palermo Soho

    FYI. The cerdo classico is now 9,400 pesos and the potato salad is 6,400 pesos as of today. Steep. Almost $8 dollars for a choripan.

    Argentina recession leaves once-bustling Buenos Aires restaurants hustling for customers

    That is interesting that even Don Julio has slowed down so much. They still probably will be ok as so many tourists go there. All my local friends stopped going there a while ago as it got too expensive. Not sure what prices are like now.

    And if you look at the numbers and polling, his party is going to surge the next elections if this keeps up.

    What happened to BA's nightlife spots? Madaho's, Black's and all the other clubs?

    I go to Rio all the time. That city is much different than BA for nightlife. The only bad thing about Rio is if you go you may not come back to BA. :ROFLMAO: Believe it or not I ran into Justin Bieber many years ago at Centaurus. @Blockchain it's a short 3 hour flight from BA to Rio. Rio is a...

    Apple Pay at Coto?

    This is the same thing I do. I noticed that only my Mastercard works with Apple Pay for the black machines. Good to see it wasn't just me. Is Brubank something you need a DNI for @dai?

    Food & Drink Pizza Restaurants in Buenos Aires - What are some of your favorite pizza places in Buenos Aires, Argentina?

    Gordo Chanta is hit or miss. It used to be much better. But I think the quality has gone down. I like Hell's Pizza ok but I don't think any of these pizza places is anything like home. I love watching Dave's Pizza reviews. He goes to a new place everyday and rates the pizza. I always laugh and...
