The holdout bondholders led by Mr. Singer of Elliott Capital hedge fund and Argentina- the two sides in the Argentine default
07/30/2014
Mr. Singer's hedge fund paid about $170 million for Argentine bonds acquired at a price well below the original value of the bonds following the debt crisis of 2001. He is suing the Argentine government for $1.5 billion including interest. His hedge fund firm manages $25 billion in assets and has returned 14% over the years. The long period this issue has festered should convince borrowers of the need to borrow carefully only where the capital can be put to productive use and generate adequate returns to pay off borrowings. Sovereign borrowers also need to build up the sovereign wealth funds to prepare for unforeseen contingencies and exercize vigilance in spending. Greece had a similar problem and paid a financial firm over $500 million to get out of a difficult situation in 2012, even as pensions were being cut.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
