Two points for him to think about.
1) This is Latin America! We do euphoria! The whole of the financial system is based around best of times/worst of times and there is nothing in the middle. What you think it is round here fercryinoutloud, Switzerland?
2) Overvalued against what? If you're talking about that underperforming scrap of paper known as the US Dollar, the gains have been rapid this year.....
