I was born in Argentina in 1976. I’m 47, married, and have two kids.

My journey:

I experienced hyperinflation firsthand as a teenager—5,000% annual inflation between ages 13 and 16. That shaped me more than any textbook ever could.

In 1995, I began studying Economics and Business Administration to understand what had happened. By 2000, I had completed both degrees and later pursued a postgraduate degree in Finance.

While I studied, Argentina went through the Tequila, Asian, Russian, and Brazilian crises. By 2001, the country collapsed: 27% unemployment, over half the population in poverty, looting, and five presidents in a week. That’s where I learned what real-world economics feels like.

I started out at an American petrochemical company, then moved to a small local fund doing high-risk FX trading with up to 100x leverage. It was intense. I dove deep into technical analysis and stayed there for nearly 15 years.

Eventually, I joined an international bank valuing local projects. There weren’t many, so we focused on U.S. macro reports—data used globally. That’s where I learned the difference between Leading, Coincident, and Lagging indicators. Macro gives you direction, not timing.

Over time, I became a swing trader. My trades span weeks to months, driven by macroeconomic themes.

Now, in 2023, Argentina is entering another hyperinflation. Monthly inflation is already at 12% and climbing. I’ve seen this before. I’m not scared, but I’m concerned.

Today, I manage a small portfolio for long-standing clients and local family offices. I combine financial markets and real economy assets—especially early-stage land—in multiple countries and currencies. Diversification across currencies, stocks, bonds, commodities, and real assets is no longer optional; it’s foundational.

With over 25 years in the markets, I’m still searching for answers. My academic background, technical expertise, and real-world experience give me a global lens. That journey led me to Intermarket Analysis—and once again, I got hooked.

This time, though, with clients, experience, and no need for Rock ’n Roll.

Join me. We’re both going to learn a lot.
