    If you can't sell for whatever reason, hedge with a synthetic in the options market - its your only hope. Look at Yukos - it went to zero, or pretty close to it once Putin got involved... Russia has a way of doing real well and then completely collapsing all of a sudden.. Look at 1998 for evidence.

  5. Same as this Russian hottie who flaked out on me 2 weeks ago.
    I get their # and I know they are going to flake out or be trouble of some kind.

    Think I will hold onto MTL , see what happens tomorrow , I could play a bounce here but with Putin who knows what's next

  8. You didn't know Russia was a giant con?

    Guess you don't read the papers.

    Mobsters. To the left.

    Mobsters. To the right.

    Just ask a Russian.

    Article the other day about a hedge fund that was run out of the country, lucky to escape with their lives no less the money.

    One look at Putin, if you can't tell he's scum, you need glasses
