Bump
This is a real happing part of the world.
They understand 1st hand that socialism does not work.
Are there any Eastern European Stock funds or ETF's??
They joined EU in 2004.
Housing starts are down 14% in the USA, to the lowest in nine years. Keep your knees loose.
Eastern Europe bump!
They sadly however just voted a socialist government back in a few months ago after a long stretch with a committed free trade and free enterprise government - guess the Socialists haven't had time to screw anything up yet, and the previous government had already sold most of the state-owned industries.
