First of all, who asked you to comment on my statement? Second of all, there is no need to comment on the stability of the Argentine currency. Even if I the Argentine currency was stable, I would still invest my money on land, because I feel that it is a pretty secure investment.
Was that supposed to be an ironic joke? or a personal dig at my country? Because if you meant it in that manner, it was a really stupid one...I, for one, work in Real Estate in California, and I can tell you that putting money on property is a good investment to make (at least in California) because of the way that property values have gone up recently. People have been making easily 2 to 4 hundred thousand dollars in equity in the last couple of years by just letting their money sit in property. I was trying to give some honest and helpful advice to him, but you had to insert your moronic comment.
BTW: Who says that in Argentina we spend our money on property so that we can keep it? I for one have my money in the banks in Argentina and I now have more money that before, so maybe it would be wise if you do not comment on something that you are completely ignorant on...thanks..
