There are a number of traders on this site that made a killing snatching up Russian markets on the big dip before trading was halted. It may be a hell of a good move but again... there are risks. No such thing as a free-lunch.

It's interesting to me. All these books I've read about needing to 'diversify' by investing in other countries like Russia etc. Turns out that may not have been such a wise idea after all. :p

This hurts the West more than the East... kinda like shooting yourself in the foot. I am not so sure it will last long.

Curious where you got that "Risk Parity Fundamentals". Seems it's hard to come by and expensive...

Well fuck me, I've been trying to find the 'POWER' key on my keyboard, and it's not there! Is there another sort of hot-key I can use to turn on the computer? Help!!!

I'm just curious what you mean by getting old/need replacing soon. Are they starting to fail, or you don't like the resolution?

I've only read one of the four market wizard books. Been planning to get them finished for months. Just last night I started yet another book:

I missed out on the Ethereum bottom because I got greedy and was waiting for a deeper drop before adding to my LONGS. That said, I'm ok if the rally continues on the high-side so I can sell a few dozen covered calls by Monday. Oh well, maybe Russia changes target to Poland in a couple months...

I believe it was yesterday Cramer was saying to buy cyber-security stocks, they're the future now post-Russian invasion. On the other side, there is a big following here who will swear that inverting anything Cramer says is the way to make $$$ :sneaky:

You don't want to cut off your own hand, just to scratch your enemy.

The million dollar question is... Did Michael Burry cover his short position yet? :sneaky:

If anyone has seen the new WOKE us-army recruiting videos... it makes you wonder where Putin got that idea of the West getting weak. :) In any case, looks like the Berlin Wall 2.0 will be around Ukraine for now.

On the other side of the story, it's also possible Putin is just a really nice guy and this is all a mis-understanding or a fat-finger-order by mistake. In any case, the markets are loving him today even more than yesterday's rally. (Putin points finger at the free-markets and says "Look, I did...

Sarcasm aside for a moment, my theory has been that the markets are assuming interest rates can't possibly go up now, especially when sanctions will hurt the west more than it does the east. Since interest rate hikes are expected to be delayed again, stonks must rise (for a while). BTW, when I...

100% But there are a lot of tree-hugging idiots who voted for Biden. To be honest, let the US-tax-payer get their well just desserts for it. They voted for that pos, let them pay for it now...

ETH up over 10% from yesterday (again). Keep doing this for a few days and I'm going to start hammering out covered-calls. By the time them Rooskies are sitting in the capital, just maybe ETH is back up to 4300!

I wake up and my mom tells me Russians are just about to topple the capital. I see the stock markets are all up and happy. Even crypto is up. Everyone's happy about this. I guess the moral of the story is this is all over-blown. So sit back and enjoy life all!

The last time the Ruble defaulted.... western hedge funds imploded, and who will forget the motherload LTCM back in 98? Russia defaults, American tax-payer pays! Funny how that works.

Yesterday was a good day to short russian ETFs. By the way, the Moscow exchange halted all trading due to the crash today (yes on ALL MARKETS).
