Before I join the peso discussion, can Herwin Kahn admit his true identity or should we just simply assume that he is Criss Colon? It does not matter to me what name he uses, but it would help knowing if from now on we are going to deal with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Now for the peso The Agha Khan is right. Give or take a grain of salt=17 to 1. By December 2002= 18.5 to 1

The new "decreed" tax, another Hipolito abomination has just increased the value of my properties by 5% with one stroke of the infamous Guido Mazara pen. As much as I thank Mazara for this bonanza, this is the kind of devious behavior we can expect from these jackasses. What hurts me about this is that it forces property owners to remain renting their houses and apartments instead of investing in other creative ideas. The peso has just suffered another set back with this stupid decree. The loss cannot be seen now with the exchange, but deeply in the heart of the peso, is there.
