Russia Looks Better on Paper Than in Real Life

> I have been putting Soviet, er, Russian dezinformatists on "ignore" over at GIM for about a month now, but I see by the above that their presence is not limited to GIM.

Of course, everything coming from russians must be propaganda, but everything coming from the US media is 100% unbiased truth. I am russian living in the US. I see both sides. What reason do I have to spread misinformation?

I find that the propaganda machine in the US is very well oiled, and equally effective as the one we used to have in the USSR. Sometimes, I think that it is on purpose US education in history and geography is so limited. Uneducated masses are easier to control.

The world ia a very scary place for an average american.

However, to be a successful investor/ trader one must attempt to see the world the way its truly is .

Russia Looks Better on Paper Than in Real Life

Russia is far more stable now tha it was 10 years ago. And those who invested 10 years ago made a lot of money.
It is risky no doubt. But is US maket any safer? US Financials are down 70-80%, Russia is down 20%. The only valid argument here is that finacials might have bottom ad Russia may be not.
In any case, I bought Gazprom Neft today. It pays nice dividend and I don't have to worry about it going bancrupt.
