Why I Started Investing In Russia

Exchange traded funds that trade in New York, Market Vector Russia ETF Trust (RSX), is the one that pops to mind. I actually own more shares than I do exchange traded funds but yes, it is a great way to play Russia.

One reason I invested in Russia, I have been bearish for 47 years, been negative on Putin for 15 years. But Russia has changed dramatically in the last 2 or 3 years and that is way I started investing in Russia.

Putin understands capitalism, that he can`t just take money away from people, that he can`t just put them in jail, that he has to play by the rules. And the Russians are starting to play by the rules in the financial markets.

Russia: Some Stocks Are Near All-Time Highs

My largest stock holdings believe or not, the Moscow Stock Exchange, Aeroflot and FosAgro are making all-time highs. Mr. Putin is making everything he can for Aeroflot as well for the stock exchange. And the fertilizer company, I am bullish on agriculture and they got a great cost advantage because the ruble is collapsing and they sell in dollars.
