Might not be such a bad time to buy Russian bonds when this bottoms out. Risky but when all this ends one way or another it could pay off big. I can't see sanctions going on forever even if Poitine wins this.

Who is underwriting Putin and his oligarch mafia, China financially and Trump verbally ?
China is way too smart to get in bed with a loser like Putin. China is already number 2 in the world and soon to be number 1. Old Irish proverb: "Getting in bed with Putin is all downside with no upside".

Are these bonds worth anything? Maybe time to buy?
"Russian Railways has issued the company’s first Green Bond, and the first international Green Bond issued by a Russian company. The 8-year Green Bond raised €500 million and was finally priced at 2.2 per cent. The issuance was significantly oversubscribed with an orderbook of over €1.8 billion."

What about these bonds?

Quantitatively, the ruble is down 40%.

The other good news for Putin is that the Russian Central Bank raised their interest rate from 9.5% (already very high) to 20%.

His subjects will not be impressed. If we think that the protests are large now, just wait for these to have personal impacts on families.
He will just say they are supporters not protesters like his starry eyed obese American follower

Wait until they fall a little lower and you can undercut the price of toilet paper in Metro.

The idea of trying to make some money off of Russia through all of this seems a bit much.
Someone is going to make money, why not one of us.
Also it isn't going to make things worse in the Ukraine.
If a Canadian buys a bond from a panicing Russian, one of Poutine's own gets screwed over when the prices go back to normal... assuming they do. Also the person who bought it from wasn't forced at gun point to sell it to you.
The saying is buy when there is blood in the streets.

I am a buy and hold guy but if I did that play [and there is some risk involved] I'd sleep easy.

Hope that's a joke. The number one pitfall in investing is to chase yield🤑...

Is this the reason the stock market and crypto are doing so well since the initial shock and correction. Are all these wealthy individuals pulling out of Russian investments and putting it into stable investments 🤔 Just a transfer of wealth. So when this conflict is over and resolved does this mean it could crash the market again since they will be pulling out and buying these assets at discount…
