"Russia Fund TRF" TRF has just a huge runup over the last couple of years and is just way too high for me at these prices. IMHO, we are going to see some ugly stuff there when Yeltsin drops dead from drinking too much vodka ( he is still "resting" at his dacha only to cut it short to go on a snowmobile ride for a photo-op). YOur statement:"they have a democratic system in place and freedom of press etc. I really believe in it for the next 5, 10, 15 years." I respectfull disagree on the system & freedom of press issue...seems to be Mafia and old communists turned "capitalists" are running the show. I feel very strongly that China/Hong Kong will do great over the next 18 years (my investment horizon, my son is only 6 weeks old<g>). But then again I felt strongly about Vietnam....
