    Only fools would invest in the corruption plagued Russian economy. Let's see how long it takes before it collapses.

    Reply to the previous ccomment: Only fools will not invest in Russia now. Go there and learn for yourself instead of watching CNN.

    It seems like it's taken years for Russia to embrace capitalism and it still has many challenges. Someday the Russian government will get it. However when it does, most of the gains will already have been made. Look at China. All fun stuff!
