Sounds like there is still not too many locals that want to trust their bank. Frustrating going through a real estate purchase right now. The seller has a dollar account here in Banco Galicia but they don't trust the bank for me to wire to them. Only want cash and they want to use a lower...

Depends time of day. Paid about 48,000 pesos last week from the airport to Palermo Soho.

Yep. Inflation is going up not down.

This was very strange for Milei to shill for a memecoin. The way he did it too. It wouldn't have gotten pumped up unless he did it like he did. Then he went radio silent for 6 hours and did not post any updates. This is not presidential behavior. I don't know how people can make excuses about...

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?

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...

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.

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.

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...

Thanks for posting. I am going to watch it.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a replacement passport that is expiring or expired? Anyone renewed a USA passport recently in Buenos Aires? How long does it take?

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.

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.
