The blue dollar has been unstoppable in recent days and accumulates a rise of $30 this week, since, after having passed the $500 barrier on Wednesday, July 12, this Friday, it reached $522, up $10 in the day. So, in the middle of this sharp jump from informal, that places it more than $60 above solidarity or savings, and $23 above MEPthe financial strategy of the mash reappears as an interesting alternative on the horizon for some investors with a risky profile.
This operation consists of buying foreign currency, in this case through home banking or brokerage company apps, at a lower price than the illegal one, and then sell it in the parallel market, where the Dolar blue reached this Friday $518 to purchase (what the cave pays the seller per ticket), an unprecedented face value.
In just one week, the illegal dollar accumulates a rise of 6.2%.
What profit does the mash leave today, with the dollar I save
With the prices of this Tuesday, April 25, the day in which blue touched $518 for the first time for sale in the caves, while the solidario closed at $459.48 on average in home banking, the pure dollar leaves a profit of $58.5 per bill, around 14%.
To acquire the u$s200 today, which is the monthly limit and per person that enables the BCRA to buy, about $91,896 are required. Then, you must go to the bank branch to withdraw the dollars, to later go to a cave.
This Friday, in the informal market, each one of the green bills was paid, about $518 max (selling price is $522)which results in $103,600 cash. Consequently, one obtains a profit of $11,704 or 14%.
In 2022, the highest percentage of profit for carrying out this operation was 32% (or $21,518)registered last July 22, when the solidario operated at $225.41 and the blue was sold at $338, its nominal record up to that moment.
What profit does the mash leave today, with the MEP dollar
With the quotes for this Friday, April 14, the day in which the MEP closed at $497.26 on the Stock Market (with the Global 2030-GD30 bond), the pure dollar leaves a profit close to 4.45%.

It must be remembered that to buy the MEP you need at least 24 hours (buy a bond in pesos and sell it in foreign currency the next day), due to the so-called current parkingto then transfer the dollars to the bank and later withdraw them.
This Friday, it was paid in the caves for each one of the green bills, about $518 max (selling price is $522)which results in $103,600 cash. Consequently, one obtains a profit of $4,148, or 4.5%.
On the other hand, if you decide to carry out the operation with about $500, you should start with about $248,630 -plus commissions on the Stock Market. By selling them, in the caves they would pay us about $259,000, which translates into a profit of $10,370.
