Topic: Economics with Fashion & Leasure

The "Argentinization" of America
Fashion and Economics here in Argentina,……. Looks like the way the American Economy is going is a straight Argentinization of America, a Argentine Style Economic Bust, so as you see we are a unique country and it seems the world is about to follow us, I am sure it will make, at least, our politicians here very happy, ………. Economics like fashion, is that "the latest cultural trend is to be unique. to be part of the exquisite VIP section of society lays on the fact that those who belong are not mass manufactured, not mass consumers, but elite consumers, one of a kind people. The outside appearance of a celebrity cannot be now purchased at a department store, for they customize their look, their style, themselves. Nowadays clothing and fashion are approaching this conception of production. Each item, each shirt, skirt, sock, shoe are kind of unique but not in a couture way, but in a more casual way."-- bob frassinetti

The "Argentinization" of America
By Chris Mayer



Every morning, I descend on my bevy of newspapers, which I cheerfully digest over a hot mug of tea. Yesterday, the headlines of all the newspapers carried the same story: the U.S. government's takeover of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Does this really promise big change in the course of U.S. financial markets?Both companies trade on the New York Stock Exchange. So both companies supposedly belong to shareholders. But Fannie and Freddie were never really private companies. Congress created the mortgage giants by charter (hence, they are called government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs). Therefore, Fannie and Freddie have long operated in a sort of limbo as a result, neither fish nor fowl. Both carry the implicit guarantee that if something went truly wrong, the government would come along and make it right. And so it has. Bondholders are happy today. Stockholders are not. Fannie Mae dropped 90% yesterday. Freddie Mac tumbled 83%. I have no flag in either camp, but I certainly have no sympathy for the stockholders. Anyone who gave them a fair look could see that both GSEs were ticking time bombs. In fact, I wrote an essay for the Mises Institute titled "Mortgage Market Socialism" way back in 2002. I pointed out the dangers of the growth of these GSEs far outpacing that of the mortgage market. If I may quote: "The longer the GSEs are able to expand as they have, the more certain it becomes that someday taxpayers will have to bear the cost of such excess." This is one of those times when I am not happy to have gotten it right. Taxpayers -- of which I am one -- will now pay for these mistakes. Yet despite all of the hubbub in the papers, this is nothing new. This action by the U.S. government does not really signify any sea change in financial markets. It's just another step in a long journey on the same path. If you read financial history, you come to appreciate this overwhelmingly powerful trend. As Freeman Tilden wrote in his 1935 book A World in Debt:

"The whole progress of the legislative attitude toward the debtor, from the Roman Republic to the present day, has been steadily, though with occasional backward lapses, toward making debt easier to incur, lightening the burden of carrying and softening the consequences of default."
The fancy modern words for this process are the "democratization of credit" and the "socialization of risk." Another excellent historical study of this process is James Grant's Money of the Mind: Borrowing and Lending in America From the Civil War to Michael Milken. It is beautifully written, for one thing. And it will show you this process has been going on for a long, long time. I don't usually comment much about big picture events. But the bailout of Fannie and Freddie deserves some sort of comment -- mainly because I fear that yesterday's bailout speeds the United States down a perilous path.I fear that we might be going the way of Argentina. One day, we'll have some major Argentine-style financial crisis. We'll have Argentine inflation and a similar loss of faith in the banking system and the currency. The government will chew away and destroy a lot of wealth in the process. Hopefully, I won't quote myself on that someday soon. In the meantime, though, I think one of the best things an investor can do is focus on buying useful and tangible assets that ought to hold their value against a depreciating paper currency. These assets include oil and gas, metals and minerals and land and water rights. The shares of the companies that own or find these assets ought to do well. Commodities will have their day in the sun once again. [Joel's Note: As it so happens, Chris has spent the last few years amassing a portfolio chock full of just these kind of companies - that is, a bundle of royalty investments in the ultra-profitable resource sector. As a special offer for Rude readers, Chris has compiled a special report he calls the "Chaffee Royalty Program." We'd urge anyone interested in protecting their future wealth (and earning some along the way) to check it out. Right now you can grab this report, along with six (6) FREE months of his most valuable research, for half price. Give it a read right here P.S. This offer is available until midnight tomorrow, OR (and this is very important) until the available 2,000 spots are filled Oh, and a quick heads-up: Chris has the best reader retention rate of all of Agora's newsletters. Put simply, when people sign up with Chris, they stick with him. The waiting list to get in on this deal is sure to long and slow, so if you wish to avoid disappointment, act now

Yes, Our 2006: a year of growth and development. Welcome 2007

Yes, Our 2006: a year of growth and development

As it happens at the end of every year, we find ourselves in time of reflection and balance. We wish to appreciate the road we’ve walked thru this past year, for it has been a wonderful, positive and amazing time of growth and development as we stated in the title of this piece.

With the aid of time, a lot of effort and a fairly earned reputation, our projects have developed to an outstanding point, helping us to shape our ideals and passions into productive ventures.

This year, our Toy Museum has began to transition from it’s virtual show room online to real exhibits in and around the city, featuring not only a great assistance of public but also fabulous reviews in several prestigious media.

Our Art + Retro Toys show at the British Arts Center of Buenos Aires was a success. Children and adults alike loved it and it was a stepping stone into showing our project to locals who are passionate about vintage toys, their history and stories. Major local publications such as La Nacion and Clarin news papers, which are the two largest news papers in Latin America published articles on our show. I was interviewed by the top notch magazine veintitres. And we shared our expertise in toys in over 30 radio shows of Buenos Aires. The worldly reputed Pampers hired our one of a kind toy show to present to the public and media their newest product Pampers Evolution in a wonderful event.

Visitors from the US, Australia, Europe and New Zealand discovered Buenos Aires’ hidden cultural and social treasures with our customized tours tailored to suit their needs and likes. We’re happy to say that we’ve made new friends throughout this wonderful year hoping to see them again soon.

In the world of Argentine Masters such as Vito Campanella’s works, among others, have traveled a long way from Southern Buenos Aires to the US to enrich private collections with the top notch quality of some of Argentina’s finest artworks. Working upon the request of our collector clients, we are strengthening the input of Argentine art in world wide collections for those who appreciate sophistication and talent in the arts, finding those one of a kind paintings that collectors appreciate so deeply.

Antique collectors from distant locations such as Italy, Germany, France, Britain, America and Hungary to mention some, hired our expertise services to personally hunt down their favorite antiques in this wonderful market that is Argentina, featuring fabulous outcomes.

A new and amazing feature we’ve develop this year thanks to our expert writers were a broad range of research projects on Argentine and Foreign steam tractors and antique vehicles found or made in our country. Our reader’s feedback has been wonderful. And specialized collectors hired us to hunt down antique trains and antique tractors, steam engines and cranes for them. Handling everything from the research information to the actual hunt to handling all the paperwork and exporting them to the US and England, we’ve done it all.

Throughout this year we also provided our traditional expertise service for art and antique dealers from around the globe who come to Argentina seeking those one of a kind antiques that would set their business apart from the rest. Acquiring antiques and collectibles from the Argentine market requires specialized assistance in handling not only the purchases themselves, but also in working out the special exportation of the container and shipping. With our experience in this field we have provided assistance to several buyers, dealers and importers in order for them to get the best antiques from Argentina.

Since we began this project, we knew that what made us different from the rest was the fact that we not only were passionate about what we did, but that we sustained our work and sayings with reliable information, research work and insightful articles. All of our information and insider’s data is available to world wide readers thru our free access web. It’s our belief that sharing the information is what makes the whole difference; it’s what sets us apart from the rest, because an informed client makes informed decisions, and that’s our hope.

Sharing our point of view on Argentina, its culture and history, its economy and politics has helped travelers and dealers, investors and researchers and we’re proud of this outcome.

Thanks to our articles on Real Estate and the ins and outs of the Argentine economy, we’ve helped investors from around the globe to make an informed decision into investing in our country. Recently our clients bought amazing properties in Argentina with our expertise service and help, all throughout the process, from finding that perfect place that would be your home in BA to signing the deed.

2006 has been a wonderful year for all these new ventures. From an artistic oriented business perspective we’ve also incursion into the world of Fashion and Design. Guiding our clients all throughout the process of contacting Argentina’s finest designers from casual ware to couture one-of-a-kind items, our business and artistic background has provided them with a novel approach to fashion, business and style.

Indeed, this has been a wonderful year filled with joy and pleasant work. It wouldn’t have been possible without our magnificent team and friends.

Hoping for an even better 2007, Art Dealer Team wishes you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and a Wonderful New Year 2007.

Touring around Mendoza, Argentina with Bob Frassinetti

Mendoza Argentina with Bob Frassinetti

One of the things I love the most about my job is the fact that I’m always on the move, always hunting for awesome treasures in and around this beautiful country that is Argentina.
This time I’m in Mendoza, a breathtaking city at the bottom of the Andes Mountains; home of the KM 0 of the marvelous Route 40, my favorite place in the whole wide world.
Such was my good luck this time that I managed to find a cozy small hotel on the roadside of Route 40!

The city of Mendoza was founded early in the Colonial times, in 1561. The Incas had reached the region we know today as Cuyo, and more precisely Mendoza in their late expansion years, just before they were conquered by the Spaniards. Therefore, this region was a greatly civilized area, known for its stupendous ecosystem and its great Pre Columbian constructions as well as its refined culture.
Today, more than 400 years after its foundation, Mendoza is a regional metropolis and a melting pot between the Argentine and the Chilean cultures, for it’s in the borderline between this neighboring countries.
Mendoza withholds Argentina’s finest wine production and it’s a precious tourism spot for travelers from around the globe. The brilliant combination of natural resources, winter sports, all year long natural spa facilities and the potent Aconcagua Mountain –the highest most peak of the American Continent- makes of Mendoza a dream destination for every single one of us who loves to enjoy life’s pleasures and treats.
The city of Mendoza is also the capital of the equally named province. This is a modern and clean, nature friendly capital, features a broad and rich cultural and artistic life.
A stone throw away from downtown Mendoza the visitor finds the ever-growing and improving fine vineyards, wineries and boutique wine producers. Most of these are open all year long for visitation and wine trying. Even better is to enjoy this wonderful option during the month of March, when it’s still summer warm in the region, in the fabulous Wineries Classic and Sports car Rally.
Among the rainbow of urban and ecology friendly tourism that can be found in Mendoza, there are several interesting sights within the city, such as the gorgeous trolleybus transport system.
This transport system was lately installed in Argentina by the late 1940s, specially located in Buenos Aires, but covering other major cities such as Mendoza and Rosario. However the pass of time and the evolution in the automobile industry made it fade away from the rest of the country except for Mendoza, Rosario and the latter addition of Cordoba city in the Mediterranean region of our country.
The first Trolleys of Mendoza were German, made by the famous Mercedes Benz in 1957 in Buenos Aires. Latter on Japanese origin vehicles came to replace the German ones Nissan / Tokyu Car / Toshiba. Most of which were maintained in such proper way that still running by the end of the millennium.
Among the interesting features of the trolley system in Mendoza is the fact that a big commercial shift took place in the mid 1980s when the province exchanged commercially its fine wines for mechanical goods with the USSR by means of the Uritzky, model ZIU 682 that complemented the Japanese fleet.
After the dissolution of the USSR, and together with the growth and development of Mendoza –implying the need of a broadening of their transport system- new imports were made from Germany and Japan to attend the growing demand.
This unique ecology friendly means of transport provides Mendoza with an even more appealing aesthetic to the visitor alike the local. While at the same time, the one of a kind scenario created by Mendoza’s unique features invites locals and foreigners alike to discover this magic land of beauty and good living.
