Maybe Putin should invade the stock exchange with tanks.
FYI.......:o)
Damn, we get the financial flu. Russia’s exchange gets ebola. Wonder how the Chinese are feeling right about now. ;)
It is called the Georgia Dividend.
Paid back with interest for the rapes and the murders of the innocent.
Wait long enough, Georgia may end up owning Russia Lock Stock and barrel.
Some of their heavier investors are getting jittery. We should encourage that, by all means.
Russia’s big investors are pulling out in droves...
Their stock market has seen a loss of $800 billion since June.
I think the Azerbaijanis and the Turks would like to get in on that.
Funny how I’ve been hearing so much about the drop in the wall street markets today, but absolutely no mention of this.
I just hope he can't pull a Reagan...on us.

So is this the 2nd time in 2 days. Russia stopped trading on Tuesday as well. This type of activity — halting markets 2 days running — has the smell of a depression.

Russian shares suffered their steepest one-day fall in more than a decade on Tuesday, losing up to 20 per cent, as a sharp slide in oil prices and difficult money market conditions triggered a rush to sell.
The heads of the Russian central bank, the finance ministry and the financial market regulator met on Tuesday night for an emergency discussion on ways to halt the crisis.

Best....
Do you really believe that 1. Georgia has bancrupted Lehman Brothers and others 2. the USA isn't suffering from the crisis in any way?
well, that was just $800 billion is losses.....I am sure the US is in the trillions....or googleillions.
Russia's collapse may leave the Russian Federation holding thousands of tanks and billions of gallons of oil. Wonder how they will feed their people with those assets ?
