Meanwhile, In Argentina
It seems that bubbles can pop? No matter how much a nation tries to destroy its economy, raise its inflation, and devalue its currency - equity market corrections occur... Argentina's MERVAL index (among the best performing equity markets of Q1) is now down 12% in the last 4 days (since we discussed this tongue-in-cheek comparison to Japan) - that is an annualized rate of loss of 100%... Of course, if you were to ask the Argentinian politicians, this drop is actually a rise - and we note that the official (and unofficial) exchange rate has not budged during the last few days.
As the world stays with the Nikkei...

I thought gold was the only thing that went down. That's what CNBC tells me anyway.

Edit: Meant to reply to Doc Engali.

What happened was just a post QE dream.....
On the bright side, the MARVEL index is still riding high off of the Spidey and Hulk movies...

From the Buenos Aires Herald - the fall in the Merval is due to "uncertainty" in the unofficial (blue) dollar rate.
The moneychangers or "Cuevas" have cooperated with the government and curtailed their activities - the blue rate is unchanged form friday afternoon at 10.03.

ROFL @ dramatizing and finding a way to use the words "loss of 100%" for any trivial market move downwards. A 2% loss in a day would be about a 99.9993726% loss annualized (365 days), so again, a "loss of 100%".
You never go full retard.
I told you banana.
Stocks are not necessarily a good inflation hedge. Depending of its balance sheet structure a company can show a profit which is inflationary (think slow moving stock financed by shareholder equity for instance) on which it will pay tax, and will not survive in the long term. On the other hand supermarkets with negative working capital are killers!!!
That's Marvelous. : )
Of course, they are selling equities so they can buy Argintine bonds that pay 4%. Wouldn't want to go to jail, after all.
Has AAPL recovered from its 40% plunge yet?
So tired of what low-level employees decide to do.
This cannot be real. As we can see right here,:

And to have anything but positive happen after?!? What type of sorcery is this?
What a standout pair to draw too-- idiot Kirchner and our own step n fetch 3rd rate punk. Marraige made in heaven. Milestones
Just a 'healthy pullback' signalling compelling buying opportunities
ANyone know if I can get a better deal on one of those Doug Casey Haciendas in N Argentina? Please someone ax'e Simon Black or Doug for me.
Ruh-roh!
I read something a while back which was of the opinion that Argentina would be the igniter of the financial implosion.
Something about them being such buffoons and less connected than say the Japanese, but just connected enough.
I don't know, but just thought that I would share. hujel
A NY court ruling is pending on when they must make payments they cannot make.
In fact, I think it's overdue.
Yep, the Black Widow is gonna have a hard time spinning a fresh default as bullish, just before Argentina's October elections.
Get ready for a new 'macho latina' campaign, with even campier vampire make-up to give her courage!
I say that they get the Iraq or Libya treatment, but I don't think their is much left for the banksters to steal. hujel
