A croque madame is a sandwich. A French ham and cheese sandwich..

Now back to the thread title

53.12 Bid
58.12 Ask

Country Risk 1738

From Bloomberg:
Fitch Ratings downgraded Argentina deeper into junk territory Friday, indicating the country was at “substantial” risk of default after the populist opposition won a landslide victory in Sunday’s primary election.

The South American nation’s long-term issuer rating was cut by three notches to CCC from B, putting Argentina on par with Zambia and the Republic of Congo.

When you say PR are you meaning public relations? If so, why is that? Did you happen to read the articles and are interested in rendering an opinion. I’m just looking to hear peoples perspective about an unfortunate situation that occurred, and potential outcomes for the future, especially from our fellow members on the ground

Sandwich.....? Yes, in some places they are called "tostados de jamon y queso", in others "ham & cheese melt"..... but I think you missed the point entirely.

The post I was making reference to was not about a ham & cheese snack.... unless I need to know about a Sandwich that can sell Chocolate Cake. Perhaps you can go back and read the above posts and give me a few pointers on English Reading Comprehension.

I apologize, but English is not my native language so I guess I missed something....?

There's an easy cure for that. Some of us have been waiting years for a HIDDYappearance at a COW DO. You have another chance in about ten days. Please?

Folks-- no more Political related posts on this thread please, only strictly Foreign Exchange related posts please. Political stuff will be deleted/moved to OMNI PR.

Thanks to everybody for your cooperation.

The Day Hiddy appears at the Cow Do will be the day he buys a US$ 50 bottle of Wine, or the Day Kristina turns into an Honest Politician.

From Gustavo Neffa

Looks like tomorrow’s going to be an interesting day for the exchange rate. Especially since today was a bank holiday

Tomorrow the sovereign "D" bonds in dollars start with an 8-10% drop in their parities. The exchange rate could rise between 6 and 8% of entry. No exchange rate coverage already offer. They will fall until measured in pesos. Let's not even talk about bonds in pesos.


Mañana los bonos "D" soberanos en dólares arrancan con una caída del 8-10% en sus paridades. El tipo de cambio podría subir entre 6 y 8% de entrada. Ni cobertura del tipo de cambio ofrecen ya. Van a caer hasta medidos en pesos. Ni hablemos de los bonos en pesos.

Not only that, the US$50 bottle will be a Nebuchadnezzar.
