I would avoid YPF at all costs. Non-government shareholders other than Repsol might end up getting nothing when all is said and done.
Moreover, after what happened with YPF, I would avoid any company with substantial fixed assets in Argentina. (Fortunately, MON is not such a company—they sell a lot of seed in Argentina, but they produce hardly any of it there.)
