Brief update from South America

For some reason my spell check is not working (and I have been drinking all day)...  Please excuse any mistakes...  

Just checking in from South America.  I am currently in Mendoza, Argentina and just enjoyed an excellent meal and some great wine (maybe a bit too much).  Everything here is very reasonably priced and the people very friendly.  In the future I am not sure that I will even bother to go to Europe anymore...  much nicer here...  Spent the day wine tasting and bought a few cases (shipping is going to negate the excellent value)....


Anyway, these links caught  my eye:

Although markets were up slightly today (as noted in Publius' from the Wire) Morgan Stanley predicts this economic crisis might be worse than the depression (http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/marketforceslive/2009/mar/06/glaxosmithkline-astrazeneca).

Guns, gold, and Spam (yuck) vs. the S&P 500 (http://www.howestreet.com/articles/index.php?article_id=8806%0D%20).

Chinese investing in American real estaste--should we be looking for bargains too (http://www.abcnews.go.com/Business/Economy/story?id=7040074&page=1)?

    I hope President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner hasn't been giving you any trouble. She has been getting erratic as of late - especially with her 28% approval rating in February.

    South America sounds like a great place bud. I hope you are having a good time.

    Thought you might find this commentary on the continued financial meltdown interesting (to say the least!):http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/03/03/Could-This-Be-Worst-Economic-Crisis-Ever.aspx

    Also, I thought you might be interested in these daily commentaries posted by a group founded on Austrian free market principles: www.thedailybell.com
