Has anybody seen InArgentina and Redondo in the same room together?
Here is the email you should send back to the landlord.
I agree 100% with your concern about the future, unknown economic situation in the country, so I think it is fair to offer you 1/2 of my current rent. Payable in pesos, of course. You must agree this is better than not receiving anything when the apartment is empty.
[QUOTE=InArgentina]No Dickhead the real issue you don't understand what a current account surplus is, you wrote 'current ACCOUNT'.
If you actually understood the expression 'current account surplus', then you would actually realise.
1. It comes from foreign trade.
So your statement'return it to the citizens and taypayers from whence it came', would literally mean send it back overseas!
2. The surplus is not the hands of a government.
So your statement, any government can return a current surplus to its citizens'is pure nonsense.[/QUOTE]Actually, ass wipe, I wrote:
"The current account means exports versus imports."
That would be foreign trade. However, a state government only has the budgetary portion of the current account surplus / deficit to deal with as they can't print money or impose duties and tariffs. The budgetary surplus just means they took in more tax revenue than they spent, and that can certainly be returned to citizens. If you would learn to read instead of running around ripping off restaurants, you'd see that this actually took place in my state. Argentina is currently running a budget surplus as well as a trade surplus. Both are components of the current account.
To review: Trade surplus (deficit) + budget surplus (deficit) = current account surplus (deficit) Foreign direct investment - repatriation of divested investments + foreign indirect investment (foreigners buying the securities of the country in question) - sales of said securities and repatriation of proceeds = capital surplus (deficit)
And you are only partially correct about the trade surplus. If Argentina has a trade surplus with the US, then more dollars are flowing in than pesos are flowing out. This would strengthen the peso. Argentina could then print more money and weaken the peso back to the prior exchange rate. The printed money could then be handed out to citizens and taxpayers, so it is certainly possible to return the trade surplus.
So why don't you go fuck a kangaroo or something?
Thats the Old DickHead We Know And Love.

Very wise, with great put-downs after the events. But really what makes this forum run is the posting of information as it comes to hand, with or without an opinion about its significance. Not the after-posting of, 'Sure I know and have read all that stuff.' There are a host of cushions who post here, not thank God, as agressively as you. If you want to make meaningfull contributions, try to not reiterate and regurgitate what other members have posted and like my tutors always insisted, qualify the premises that draw you to make the conclusions that you post, so we can evaluate the argument. For the benefit of those unfamiliar with the term 'cushion', it means a member who re-posts the latest posts he has read. The last person who 'sat' (posted) made the biggest impression.
Just review your fast and furious recent posts. What is original? When an opinion is given, how is it sustantiated? I don't see anything except re-iterated previous posts and unsubstantiated opinion.
It's a given that we are a cross-section of English speaking, sexual interested beings. There exists a wealth of well substantiated and proven experience of expatriot information on this forum; all available gratis to all members. But that also means we are a cross section of humanity. It doesn't mean we can't spot a literate smart arse when we read one. Being literate doesn't make you right and doesn't make what you post interesting. Look at the feathers you have ruffled with your posts. It's like "Redondo" revisited.

Argentina Central Bank Holds Peso Steady; Stocks Up On Tenaris.

Argentina Central Bank Holds Peso Steady;Stocks Up On Tenaris.
By Drew Benson.
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES.
BUENOS AIRES (Dow Jones)--The Argentine peso ended flat on the day Monday amid apparent central bank dollar selling that offset strong demand for dollars from Argentines increasingly nervous about an ongoing farm strike and the government's apparent unwillingness to address its inflation problem.
Stocks edged higher, buoyed by Merval Index heavyweight Tenaris (TS) while the local benchmark Discount bond in pesos continued its slide.
The peso closed at ARS3.1775 against the U. S. Dollar in interbank trading, unchanged from Friday's close. Over the weekend, talk grew among Argentines that authorities might take draconian measures like 2001's "corralito" freeze on bank deposit withdrawals to contain a potential run on the peso.
Analysts dismissed such a step as highly unlikely, given that the current inflationary situation is very different from the deflationary crisis environment of 2001. Not only is the peso not overvalued in the way it clearly was during the latter period of its one-to-one peg to the dollar but the government is also maintaining decent fiscal and trade balances.
Even so, with the farm crisis stoking political uncertainty and investors nervous about unchecked inflation that economists estimate at around 25% on year - far higher than official reports of around 8.8% - local exchange houses have noted a marked jump in retail dollar-buying in recent days.
"The market remembers what happened in 2001 and faced with uncertainty, people begin to talk about a 'corralito,' even though the conditions are very different than they were in 2001," said Ruben Pascuali, who characterized the rumors as "crazy."
In the local bond market, the Discount bond in pesos slid to ARS91.30, with a yield of 11.51% , from ARS91.90, while the Bogar 2018, another peso note tied to inflation, dropped to ARS124.50, yielding 14.19% , from ARS126.
On the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, the Merval rose 0.51% to 2,125.36 amid moderate trading. Total volume reached ARS102.9 million, with ARS86.5 million of that in local shares. Tenaris, a maker of steel tubes used by the oil industry, jumped 5% amid heavy trading to ARS91.25.

Argento
DH writes.
'Trade surplus (deficit) + budget surplus (deficit) = current account surplus.''
DH is wrong again!
A current account is absolutely separate from the government's budget.
The correct formula for a current account is.
Current Account = Balance of Trade + Net factor income from ABROAD +
Net unilateral transfers from ABROAD.
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_account[/url] or anywhere else for that matter.
You write that.
'You'd see that this actually took place in my state'
A Current Account applies to nations not states.
DH - the only state you are is a state of pure ignorance. You have absolutely no knowledge of economics.
DH – don't involve Kangaroos in this.
DH - you continually boast about your fluency is Spanish - ad nauseum. The only reason you know Spanish is because you are regularly on your knees before your local Meth dealer!
I suggest that after you make the next visit - you put your teeth in - and go repay the subprime loan on your caravan (because the world need Americans you can actually repay their debts)
[QUOTE=Argento]I should have added 'a big-noting 6 figure prickhead.' Sorry.
Argento[/QUOTE]Argento, there's no need to call yourself a prickhead - everyone who posts here already is aware that you are. But in any case, thanks for another worthless, uninformative post of the type that you are known here for.
Argento.
We're dealing with a "Psycho" here with Member #2041.
Below I posted a link which pretty much validated everything he'd said in a previous post from a creditable source. And what does he do, he posts a "Snide" demeaning comment, "I already posted that two days ago"
Again the guy's and authority on Argentina after spending 3 weeks in country, one of them out in the "Boonies" in Mendoza. The other 2 weeks in a Cheap apartment with no lap top or internet using only a cell phone which works any where in the world. In which he claims is orginal posting, not knowing that subject has been beat to death over the years on this forum.
Then claims he can save $10 dollars a day by doing so and in almost in the same breath eludes to the fact he's got "Deep Pockets". And is considering making a middle 6 figure investment in a "Grape Ranch" in Mendoza with hopes of someday making wine.
I frankly doubt he's ever seen "Middle 6 figures" in cash with all the tax's payed on it sitting in cash in his bank account in his life. And even if he does he sure as hell didn't earn it himself, he'd have more respect for it, But suppose he does have that knid of money. Only a "Fool" would invest that some of money in Argentina at this time, given the facts of whats going on in the country. He'd be much better off buying some destressed Condo's in Florida. Or any other investment in which he'd get a return over time. But a grape ranch in Argentina, there's just no way. Trust me the "Big Guy's" in the wine business have already looked at it and passed on the idea.
Number one he'd never get a return, ROI, on his money. And number two its doubtfull he'd ever get his money back given the illiquidity of Argentine real estate. Not even considering the Governments missmanagment of the economy, plus the corruption which run's threw out the entire Argentine society on all levels. The very mention of that type of investment shows that this guy is made of.
Argento, his guy is very defensive with his aggression in his posts, a Psycho. He's got to be right and the rest of us are wrong, CockSucker & MotherFuckers if you will. Now I submit theres something wrong with this type of thinking.
Finally, Member # 2041 will post on top of this more "Snide Demeaning" comments since the "Psycho" in him has the prove he's right and the rest of us knowing nothing about Mongering or Argentina itself.
Well I'll post this before he comments back, because he will. He's always got to have the last word, sorta like BadBoy13, some of us remember.
That I've forgotten more about Argentina than he knows, moreover, probably than he'll ever know. And I truly hope he's the "Big Shot Fool" he proports himself too be and buy's a "Grape Ranch" in Mendoza, where he'll have his head handed to him on a platter.
Exon
I must be doing something right if I've got the two most notorious assholes on the forum, Exon123 and Argento all riled up about my posts.
In point of fact, Exon and Argento both originated the "snide demeaning comments" on the subjects at hand - of course, they are conveniently forgetful of this.
AND, for a second fact, I am well aware that it is not CURRENTLY a wise investment to purchase a winery at this particular moment in time - specifically due to the economic conditions at hand. I alluded to this in my prior post. What intelligent investors do is gather information about potential future investments, so that they are prepared to act quickly when the proper opportunity DOES present itself. Of course, neither Exon nor Argento would have a clue how thoughtful investors actually operate. And as a matter of record, the Mendoza area is LOADED with major investments from big players in the California and European wine businesses, made over the past decade or so. There is currently a bit of a pause in this activity because of the economic conditions we've all been talking about, but the simple fact is, the majority of vineyard in Mendoza is controlled by the foreign interests you imply have been all over this concept and rejected it. Just another example of something I happen to know about Argentina and you, Exon, have obviously already either "forgotten", or simply never actually knew.
Incidentally, there are a litany of extremely wealthy people in this world who happen to be frugal. It's because I DO respect the value of the assets that I have obtained that I don't squander them on things that have no value to me. I never said that the rest of you are wrong. What I said is that you, Exon, and Argento, are flaming assholes - and my apologies for repeating something so obvious to everyone here.
BTW, Exon, it's not necessary for you to project your cocksucking fantasies on the rest of us. We don't really care what you do in private.

As for CockSuckers, I'll quote "Justice Potter" slightly out of context.
"I can't define a CockSucker, But I know One when I see One"
Exon.
P. S. Now he'll be right back on top of me with more words of wisdom
