Why Russia Is Right to Consider a Golden Currency
The Mogambo Guru says the Russian media is on the right track in proposing the reintroduction of gold-backed currency. Bank in the US, the Fed and US Treasury are wasting hundreds of billions of dollars trying to ‘fix’ the financial crisis. This will cause the dollar to lose value over time. And if exporting economies like Russia start to dump the dollar for another currency or gold, the buck will be doomed…

$189.7bn in Russian Funds Stalks ‘Fire Sale’ US Assets
Emerging markets expert Irwin Greenstein says two news stories circulating in Russia indicate Moscow is getting ready to buy up large amounts of distressed US assets. It could be a good time, too, for American investors to consider buying US stocks at bargain prices.
Why Brazil Is the Best of the BRICs
The turmoil in US stock markets is making all the headlines. But BRIC nations are facing a much deeper crisis in their stock markets.
On Monday, authorities halted trading on Brazil’s Bovespa for 30 minutes after it tumbled 10%. Trading in Russia was frozen on several occasions in the last two weeks to prevent an all-out collapse of the market. And China’s CSI Index has lost 58% of its value so far this year.

Why Patriotism and Your Portfilio Don’t Mix

Investors should adjust their portfolios accordingly…

The biggest gains were in Russian stocks. And this could be the situation for quite some time, says emerging markets expert Irwin Greenstein, writing for Contrarian Profits.
The irony, of course, is that Washington and Moscow are now marching in lockstep with each other when it comes to their stance on market intervention.

In yesterday’s Hidden Value newsletter, Andrew Snyder recommended three Russian stocks oversold in the recent market crash. One of those - Rostelecom (NYSE:ROS) - has already made over 35% gains.

Putin’s Politics Responsible for Russian Stock Crash
Russia’s main stock markets remain closed this morning after a slump in equities prompted the authorities to suspend trading.
