I'm just waiting for BlackRock to come out with an iShares ETF for Russia. Maybe they could call it the "Great Patriotic Fund." That would appeal both to patriotic Americans and Russians. This ETF would be invested in various metals and natural resources, commodities, fertilizer, energy, Russian government bonds, and the "Rubble."

When BlackRock comes out with this fund we will know both that the Ukraine war is over and that the U.S. has met its economic Waterloo.
Totally off topic, but is anyone else as tired as I am of Bill Bart’s self-aggrandizing?

His colossal gall is breathtaking!
It’ll be a cold day in Hell before I see him as anything but a self-serving bureaucrat who displayed cowardice when courage was required. Pathetic.
