Dow ends above 18,000 for first time on strong GDP report http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/12/23/us-markets-stocks-usa-idUSKBN0K10YW20141223 Russian Ruble Hits Record Low http://www.bloomberg.com/video/russian-ruble-hits-record-low-oIfz9BmVSU~Wd5h5qF2cMg.html As the United States continues to prosper and grow in influence around the world the Russian Federation economy is collapsing and is becoming isolated from the global community. This was not necessary but unfortunately a KGB tyrant and all around fascist has taken power in Russia and cultivated a cult of personality perhaps different in scale but not in kind from that of Kim Jung Il in North Korea, Qaddafi in Libya, or Saddam Hussein in Iraq (Rest In Pieces).
Outdated news. Russian ruble has strengthened for the last week. But you may continue to dream that Russian economy is collapsing. - - - Updated - - - Outdated news. Russian ruble has strengthened for the last week. But you may continue to dream that Russian economy is collapsing.
Heck yeah, another grrrrrrrreat year for my portfolio!!! Stock market did 8.5% which is purty darn great if you ask me, but to put the cherry on top, my advisor did a total of 14.7%!!!! Hope everyone else's portfolio was similar if not better to make it a great Christmas!
Spare us the horse(*)(*)(*)(*), it hit a record low ten days ago, it's hitting record lows on what seems likely a weekly basis, plummets to record lows and minimal gains at still record lows isn't rebounding by any sense of the word. Call us when the Ruble reaches even half the value that it was at before the plummet started.
IDK but I'm sure you have your zerohedge based conspiracy theories, let me guess is it because the Russian economy is actually doing just stellar?
no more like future military instability in Europe because of putins threats today about nato [video=youtube;TvhVloJzhDQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvhVloJzhDQ[/video] http://rt.com/news/217823-putin-russian-military-doctrine/
Are you joking? It's U,S. economy collapsing. Can you explain by the way please why more and more Americans flee from 'prosper' USA and denounce US citizenship! http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/ http://endoftheamericandream.com/
Putin is a blustering little tin pot dictator no different from Kim Jun Un, nobody but his non-nuclear neighbors is afraid of him or Russia, he's just a bully and like any bully he is afraid to fight anyone who can actually defend themselves.
Your comments are (*)(*)(*)(*)ing delusional, the Dow just hit a record high and the Ruble just hit a record low. Can you learn proper grammar before you post your nonsensical, unsubstantiated, and completely irrelevant bull(*)(*)(*)(*)? Your sources are a joke as are your assertions, you can't respond to the facts presented in the OP all you can do is troll but that's what you're payed by Moscow to do I suppose.
They hiked interest rates to 17% to stop the drop, the Ruble is still trading at 51 to the US dollar, which isn't even half of what it was worth at the same time last year.
In difference to Ruble, even toilet paper has more value as Greenback. http://www.usdebtclock.org/ The value of Dollar is nothing, the collapse of Dollar is ongoing. http://dollarcollapse.com/
Another delusional statement, the US dollar is worth 51 Rubles and that's after a 17% interest rate hike to tourniquet the blood loss , last week it was worth 70, hell the Mexican Peso is worth nearly 4 Rubles, try again?
After Putin will fire all liberals and fifth column, establishes New Russian National Economy without speculates and connection to Western stock-exchanges, Ruble will have its True Value. All Russians say now that Russia needs New Russian National Economy without any connections to western speculates, banksters and rating agencies. Russian Economy only for Russians and Not for Western Speculates.
In my country an Indy (bungie) development team spent $500 million on a video game and made that back on opening day. I bought one too.
I'd love to believe that this is caused by the sanctions but i'm more inclined to believe this is associated with falling oil prices which is Russia's top export, the US has it's current interests tied up in Oil and the Opec nations so If Russia can weather this storm they may see a resurgancy next year (hopefully not)
