Hedging, by going long RSX (shorting puts March / April / May) w/ strike prices 15 - 20, six blocks, even spread, because I want RSX but unwilling to pay for it this very day. I reckon should RSX tank further gold would be up always, and much of my bear bets on DJIA, SP500, Russell, and Nasdaq would pay much, and should gold drop, RSX should rise. As you, I think Blinken shall blink much, and Biden’s victory over Russia is assured. RSX is full of anti-inflation / anti-fragile stuff, including oil, gas, palladium, platinum, gold, nickel, etc finance.yahoo.com

Coincidence, just saw this … something about stuff we need, to keep warm, keep moving, make stuff with, and sell stuff for … all good stuff Totally strange that America abandoned Afghanistan, let slip Russia, and left Ukraine hanging, Syria dangling, Iran out there, and put the Europeans in a spot that is neither here nor there, and and & and But perhaps there is strategy behind the seemingly random fidgety moves Am agnostic, and watching to learn Should America further sanction Russian Aluminum, Rusal, then buy finance.yahoo.com at the 2020 low zerohedge.com Buying Russia... Via AdventuresInCapitalism.com, I’m going to keep this short because the situation is fluid. Besides, this one doesn’t need much research or even deep thought. It’s actually quite simple. Here are the facts; Biden tried to screw with Putin. Putin showed Biden that geopolitics is a game that only adults should play. Ball is now in Biden’s court after Putin snagged 2 provinces that absolutely no one else wanted. What can Biden do? Maybe he can issue some more sanctions? Maybe he goes and cries to the UN?? He’s not going to start a war over these provinces. Biden has been had. What happens when the sanctions hit?? Ask yourself, where do palladium, nickel, natural gas, oil, uranium, grain, fertilizer and a bunch of other goods we depend upon come from?? Yeah, the guys that Biden wants to sanction. What do you think sanctions do to inflation? There’s an election coming up in November and it already looks like Biden gets steamrolled. Does he want to make it even worse?? Literally no one in Europe wants any part of this train-wreck that Biden started. They all need Putin’s energy far more than they need our politics. As you can guess, these sanctions are going nowhere. We need these goods, and Europe needs the gas even worse. Inflation is already roaring. There is no Biden plan from here. He never had a plan. Basically, this is your cue to be reckless. We’re at peak angst and Russian assets are for sale. I had a starter position going into this weekend. I intend to be an absolute pig about it on Tuesday. Go look at their market, almost all the top companies are resource stocks. What do you think happens to their profits as the periodic table goes positively mental?? What about when their costs are priced in Rubles that are down 10% this month? Putin always wins. He’s winning again. Betting against Biden has been the winning trade for over a year. This is yet another chance to press the same bet. I’m keeping it simple. The VanEck Russia ETF (RSX – USA) is a collection of highly liquid Russian assets. It should hopefully be immune to Biden randomly sanctioning companies and forcing my broker to liquidate me. RSX is where I’m focusing. Remember, Putin always wins… Disclosure: Funds that I control are long RSX , Rubles and short RSX puts. Sent from my iPad
