Many Reasons For The Global Sell Off

It is probably because of what is happening in the Middle east. The Middle East is a tinderbox. The economies in the Unites States, in Europe and in other places are slowing down too, so there are many reasons (for this global sell off).

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.
