Getting quite off topic here, but …
It’s best to take what one reads about Ukraine with a huge grain of salt. That applies to both sides, pro-U and pro-R. We get bombarded with the former but have to seek out the latter. And you have to closely read between the lines. Remember the immortal words, “The chocolate ration has been increased to 20 grams per week.” (from 30 g/wk)
Every few days I like to review opinion blogs on both sides and try to noddle out which is more likely to be closer to the true happenings on the ground. Whole lotta people are in for a big surprise.
Nobody seems to consider that maybe “Crazy Vlad” is the least crazy candidate of possible Russ leader. I always like the timer travel stories about somebody going back to 1938 and popping Adolf and getting back to the present where all of Europe now speaks German.
Anyway…off topic and I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody will report this and get it deleted.
On topic: I’ve been slowly selling out to book capital losses and replacing them with various ETFs and CEFs that are selling at an unusually large discount to NAV and pay a generous yield. Like: EXD, ETW, NZF, EXG
