Summary
Since President Mauricio Macri took office, ARGT has been a stellar performer.
The economy of Argentina is going through a major transformation, and the market expects a solid improvement in the country’s GDP, a better fiscal outlook and a decline in inflation.
Credit penetration in Argentina remains one of the lowest in the world.
The MSCI’s reclassification could be an additional catalyst for ARGT.
This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Banking On Financials.

That should come as no surprise, given that the Macri administration has done an excellent job of improving numerous disbalances of the Argentinian economy, which were left by the previous president, Cristina Kirchner. Macri’s reforms are now starting to bear fruit and, as a result, his coalition scored a victory in the 2017 legislative elections. After the elections, President Macri pledged a new series of reforms to the country’s tax, labor and retirement systems.
Indeed, the country’s economy is going through a major transformation, and that also attracted foreign investors. For instance, last year, Argentina issued $2.75B worth of century bonds, with an effective yield of just 8%. Notably, the sale was almost 4 times oversubscribed as the government received $9.75B in orders for the bond. As such, despite the fact that Argentina has defaulted on its sovereign debt eight times since it declared independence in 1816, the century bond sale indicates that there is strong demand for Argentinian assets.
Even though Argentina is still fighting inflation and unemployment, the market consensus expects a solid improvement in the country’s GDP, a better fiscal position and a decline in inflation. The current account deficit is expected to stabilize and that would be also a positive.

Unique banking sector
We have written on Argentinian banks, in particular on Banco Macro (BMA) Grupo Galicia (GGAL) and BBVA Banco Frances (BFR), a lot, and, in our view, these banks remain one of the most attractive opportunities in the global banking space.
First off, as shown below, credit penetration in Argentina, measured as total banking loans against GDP, remains the lowest in Latin America and one of the lowest globally. For comparison, Brazil has a loans/GDP ratio of around 55%, while Chile has recently increased its credit penetration to nearly 90%. It is also worth noting that mortgage penetration, measured as mortgage loans against GDP, is just 1% in Argentina and more than 10% in Brazil.

As a result, in contrast to other banking markets in Latin America, Argentina is most likely to deliver several years of ample loan growth.
Second, the country’s banking sector is characterized by a high share of deposits, which are considered to be a stable and cheap funding source. By contrast, Brazilian and Mexican banks are heavily reliant on wholesale funding, which could be very costly and volatile.

From ‘Frontier Market’ status to ‘Emerging Market’ status
In June 2017, MSCI (MSCI) decided to delay its reclassification of Argentina's shares from the Frontier Market status to the Emerging Market status. With that being said, there is a high chance that the country will be promoted in 2018. According to JPMorgan Research, should that happen, Argentina's stocks would attract around $1.5B of passive inflows from MSCI EM-tracking funds. That level of flows should definitely put upward pressure on Argentina’s stocks. Additionally, the reclassification would attract active investors and funds that use the MSCI Emerging Market Index as a benchmark. We believe that could be a huge catalyst for ARGT.
Valuation
The ARGT's valuation remains reasonable, especially given that the ETF offers higher-than-average EPS growth rates.

Bottom line
Without a doubt, ARGT is not a safe-haven investment, especially given its historical performance. However, Global X MSCI Argentina ETF is a very attractive bet for long-term investors who can take on higher-than-average volatility.

Sin embargo lo que habías hecho es lo correcto, tomaste posición, la posición no arrancó, 3 ruedas para el opex, debes salir.
Al otro día arrancó, te queres matar, pero si la hubieras tenido la hubieras dejado para el miércoles, porque la codicia es grande y hoy viendo lo que hicieron los ADR ya no dormirías en paz.
En lotes se toma posición, si no va para el lado esperado se sale y se espera otra entrada, sobre todo a días del opex.
Es cierto eso. No hay que arrepentirse o ponerse loco con el diario del lunes.
Y también es cierto lo que siempre decís con respecto a que tendría que haber un foro de opciones y otro de acciones, por las diferencias abismales que existen en la operatoria de cada uno de estos instrumentos. Lo mismo ocurre con los diferentes plazos y estrategias de inversión, que son tantas y tan diversas, que muchas veces la mala comprensión de estas es el origen de la mayoría de los malos entendidos entre foristas.

No, porque ya que estás te beneficias también de una posible oferta de canje de acciones por unas de TGLT o un rebote ya que se encuentra en un soporte muy grande

por la empresa seguro que me quedaría, ya que tiene muchos drives a favor , pero los controlantes después de la opi dan miedo que no se manden otra.
