Why do they always wait until the Kremlin has picked their pockets clean?

This is the part of capitalism that Putin never learned in the KGB.

putin’s evil.

as the article points out, he’s in for a surprise when his economy doesn’t keep pace with the u.s., china’s euro’s, india’s

which are hi-tech based.

gorby said that “we misunderstood the value of human capital.”

If the kleptocrats that run Russia can’t buy their next monthly Bentley due to a downturn, Putin is in trouble.

If the democrats weren't so damned liberal a few of the old school Kennedy dems would be out there with the Republicans opening oil opportunities and destroying what was left of the USSR. Opening drilling along with straightening the dollar would effectively drop oil prices another 20% and stop Putin's expansion plans in their tracks.

With the coming oil glut, and investors storming the exits, things are about to get pretty rocky for old Pooty-Poot.

rampant militaristic nationalism

Always a bad sign. Will those with the wisdom to keep their money in Russia once Putin started nationalizing companies, closing newspapers and killing opponents now switch their fund directions to Venezuela??

On Friday, Russia's central bank announced that its foreign currency reserves — a key part of its economic stability and an indicator of foreign investor support — had plunged $16.4 billion in the most recent week

Now, it seems, investors are fed up with the rampant militaristic nationalism, red tape, corruption and anti-investor sentiment in Vladimir Putin's Russia. Some have decided to head for the door and take their money with them.

Anybody that bought into the "Russian Investment Bonanza" deserves what the hell they get! Maybe next they will buy "Santa Claus Futures"???
