In Argentina’s eternal race to protect the value of money, investors’ eyes are on… Blue dollar quotePoor performance Specific period wave Merval fluctuations. However, the real surprise in the recent period was cooked up, ironically, At sub-zero temperatures. The data is conclusive: storing certain cuts of meat and fish in the refrigerator has been shown to be a more effective and profitable investment strategy than most traditional financial alternatives.

Discounts like Shoulder, buttocks, hake fillets and even the classic mince showed esteemed performances that left behind great references to local savings. The conclusion is strong: The best investment was not financial investment, but tangible investmentThis meets the basic need for food in the context of ongoing inflation.

The defeat of classic assets against the “frozen dollar”

If the increase in prices of selected proteins in a given period is analyzed (which reflects the rise in the value of the stock kept by the consumer in the cold), then comparison with financial assets is inevitable and destructive. Thus, for example, for one kilogram of each piece, the differences between last December and October are as follows:

• Color palette: 44.3%
• Buttocks: 40.2%
• Quadrille: 37.0%
• Regular ground meat: 35.7%
• Frozen burgers (4 units): 35.6%
• Hake fillet: 33.7%
• Grilled: 32.1%

If these differences are compared with other indicators, it is clear that they were valuable The development is much higher than what the rest of the variables attest. In this sense, it is worth noting that they significantly exceeded the general average of retail prices as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) shows a variance for these 10 months of 24.8%. Regarding financial variables, they also showed gains in dollars, since The blue dollar, the asylum currency par excellence, barely achieved 24%. of appreciation, while fixed-term interest rates over the same period showed a cumulative profitability of just over 30 percent.

On the Merval side, which is the stock market index par excellence, it recorded a lower rise compared to the rest of the stocks, as a result of its high sensitivity to the political and economic situation, remaining at the bottom by 18.4%, which indicates that stock market risks have not translated into a profit premium. The message is clear: in times of extreme instability and correcting relative prices,… Storing food is not only a family survival strategy, it also becomes, de facto, the safest and most profitable investment for small savers.

The phenomenon behind “commodity hedging”

This phenomenon has a clear reading that explains the reason Frozen proteins They have been turned into a “hedge commodity.” It is about rearranging typical prices for contexts Exchange or economic uncertainty And even politics. Under these circumstances, the consumer, realizing this, applies a defensive strategy of pre-purchase in order to “lock in the price.” By freezing, you can lock in value and protect yourself from future inflationary spikes.

This collection of proteins in the refrigerator reveals a deep lack of confidence in the ability of traditional financial instruments to protect capital. For the saver, the lesson is practical and elementary: Sometimes, the best investment decision is made not at the money table, but on the supermarket shelf and with the strategic decision to stock the refrigerator.

he “Dollar freezer“Not only did it win the battle for profitability, it provided a double benefit: capital protection and food security. A very Argentine paradox that leaves financial analysts open-mouthed and the consumer with shares more valuable than his or her portfolio.”
