10% of your $20 billion hedge fund down the drain because you aren't bright enough to avoid Russia?

Big difference between screwing up a company (btw, U soared 20 fold in the last few years), and not being able to figure out that one of the biggest countries on earth is a total waste of time. When you bet on an individual company, you are placing your faith in the competence of management. Screwing up a whole country is an entirely different story.

Russia is just a big, frozen, nuclear waste dump, run by a bunch of crony "capitalists" who sell off rusty tanks and missile launchers so they can holiday in France. The government can't even pay it's workers. Yeltsin is a drunk and Gorbachev was a pawn. There isn't even the slightest inkling of capitalism or free markets over there.

Russia is still a good short on any rally.
