Bubble about to burst! Ive moved my portfolio into silver, gold, tips, bonds and into long term puts for RSX. The global stock market is in a major bubble and headed for a major correction. Russian equities will fall the most, especially if they invade Ukraine, a black swan event not currently price

MCHI has significantly lower volume. That always turns me away. KWEB is good but overall performance appears lower. At the end of the day, for me, it's just a low cost gamble. Kinda like my RSX calls... 😳
No made a bunch on RSX puts and miner calls. Missed all the big stock falls in last 6 months due to lack of imagination. gave it all back starting April 1. Sticking to longer dated spreads now
To think, I once had the Russian etf RSX. I drink to the death of it.
Can you wait until I get my $800 in RSX out first brahh?
We all need it right now. I'm still sitting on some YINN and RSX leaps. So luck is exactly what I need.
Market bleeds for a few weeks then Russian peace at which point my RSX and Sberbank bags will rise like the Phoenix they are and carry me from +175% this year to +250%
Remember waaaaaay back in March when all those big brains "bought the RSX dip" saying this would all be over soon 
Learn how valuations work, honey. Anyone buying at these levels against a tightening Fed and diverging market internals is clueless. I doubled my account in march 2020 on VIX calls, doubled it again in Nov-Jan '21 on GME calls, traded mostly sideways for the rest of last year and then had a nice +30% portfolio gain on RSX puts in March, and now almost doubled it again on various tech puts the last 6 months. I'm golden alright, but I sure aint afraid
Instructions unclear - I bought RSX because I thought index funds are safe
They don't want to bring RSX back because then we would see it is doing better than SPY
My RSX the only thing not red in portfolio
Anyone know/idea when RSX open!!???
My retarded ass bought 15 shares of RSX a day before the sanctions hit. Now I gotta sit the sidelines until trading is active again.
Anyone else still stuck holding RSX?
RSX is probably going to get liquidated
Still waiting for RSX to come back online. Going to make so much bank. /s
Praying for peace so my RSX leaps unfreeze
Stuck holding RSX leaps on Robinhood. Anyone think I’ll be able to eventually sell them?
Then should everyone sue their brokers for every buy AND sell halt ever, like recently with RSX? Or is shutting down only one side of the trade considered A-OK just because it benefits you or your handlers?
I'm up around 50% due to the RSX puts I bought a few days before the war started.
Russia needs to open up their market I need to buy RSX for pennies on the dollar
If I had to say, I would assume Fidelity has an automated system that turns all options without any action after several weeks into $0 to clean potential mistakes from options that have already expired. Then people called in to ask about their RSX options, and then they manually fixed that one. Am I in the ballpark?
So can someone tell me why, on Fidelity, my RSX calls have had a "Last Price" value of $0.00 for the past week or so while other brokerages showed a non-zero value, and now all of a sudden Fidelity is showing said value again?
Either liquidated or set to 0, like RSX
Will sell them my RSX shares
Not sure on what basis you are making the "80+% are already Moscow Exchange shares" claim but that's not true, the majority of RSX holdings are GDR on the London Exchange No need to speculate, anyone can see the holdings here : https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/investments/russia-etf-rsx/holdings/ Speaking about the value of the GDR underlying stocks (which are trading on MOEX) while foreign investors are barred from selling is pointless because it doesn't reflect its true value. Price discovery only works when all participants can trade. The real value of RSX will not be known until trading is allowed to resume.
At least my RSX shares don't lose value.
RSX tracks the MVIS Russia Index. Whatever action they take is based on whatever the index provider does. If the index provider discontinues the ETF in the next re balancing, the ETF will liquidate. If the index provider however decides to keep it in limbo, VanEck cannot liquidate the ETF.
Basically there is angarage with 40 classic cars and they mostly can't turn on because they need gas. or a replacement battery. They aren't broken or worthless, just temporarily not drivable. You inherited half of these classic cars but instead someone is trying to give you $20 and a happy meal stating the cars are worthless. We know the cars arw actually highly sought after, even if they aren't drivable this very moment. The stocks in RSX are trading now for around $3 - $50, but RSX is trying to say they are worth one penny. We don't care, because we lnow the market will immediately pay much more than a penny as soon as they are tradeable again.
I have a short position on RSX.. what do you think will happen ? Will I be ever able to close it ?
Am I the only one here with frozen RSX leaps?
I got you 😉 Here is your fund page. It contains a full list of the fund's holdings, currently displaying what it was on April 19, 2022: > https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/investments/russia-etf-rsx/holdings/ Some of these funds are currently trading and this their quoted market value reflects their market price. EG VEON Others have been halted and therefore have a stale price. We're going to select one of these many halted securities: > LKOD LI Lukoil Pjsc 0.07 BBG000NN8497 2,063,982 20,640 This is a Lukoil Depository Receipt, representing one ordinary share of Lukoil on the Moscow Exchange. We see the fund holds 2,063,982 shares, which the fund prices at $20,640, or $0.010000087210063 per share. Now let's find the share LKOH on the Moscow Exchange: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/LKOH.ME We see the share last traded today at ₽4,310 Finally we're going to choose an exchange rate. These vary among sources, unlike stock prices. We're going to select Yahoo Finance's, although you could use google finance or another: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/RUB=X?p=RUB=X&.tsrc=fin-srch We see a quote of 81.7750 rubles per dollar. We'll divide LKOH price of 4,310 rubles by 81.7750 rubles to come to **$52.70559461938245** for the last price of one LKOH share last price, which is represented by our Depository Receipt LKOD. In sum, we see that the RSX calculates the value of it's 2,063,982 shares as $20,640, which is **99.9810265166681%** less than the $108,783,399 derived, implied, not-tradeable value we calculated from the current ruble price and exchange rate. This is not a firm connection, as there is significant market bifurcation which implies a very wide margin of error considering the war, capital controls on both markets, national investor appetite etc. This is one of the holdings, and there are much more efficient ways to estimate or calculate the whole totals. Pretty eye-opening! This page will suffice, but I recommend pulling up the company on the SEC EDGAR database to check for interesting or relevant paperwork submitted about the company to the government. For some reason I can't find it, but here is the Index page for the database: https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search-and-access
RSX also mainly holds DRs. Putin just ordered DR delistings. It looks finished at this point.
also, RSX is not a Russian ETF anymore: \-- Country Weightings (%) as of 03/31/22 Bermuda 28.42% Russia 3.11% Cyprus 0.13% Netherlands 0.05% United Kingdom 0.04% Other/Cash 68.25% \-- Portfolio Composition (%) as of 04/19/22 Stocks 28.41% Bonds 0.00% Other 0.00% Cash 71.59%
Waiting for RSX open🤝🤝🤝…. 8/19 $20 calls🤝🤝
I had about 2k worth of puts on the Russian stock market that I sold for like 20% profit. They invaded Ukraine two days later and the RSX crashed big time. I feel your pain.
So what does it mean if I bought RSX the day it got halted
What does this mean for $RSX (that frozen Russian ETF traded on the NYSE)?
Its the year 3000, my descendants still hold untradable shares of RSX.
When RSX open. My calls need to print
Anyone else stuck holding RSX or ERUS
When RSX open…my calls need to print
RSX and other Russian securities are halted because of regulatory concern. **Trading is halted in conjunction with another exchange or market for regulatory reasons.** It is up to the *regulatory authorities* to determine if and when the Russian securities will reopen for trading. VanEck and others (unless you make a few strategic donations to key politicians) don't have a say on if and when the securities will open again for trading.
when will russian stocks be live again? i have over 20k in SBRCY and RSX
I bought a bunch of RSX as the P/E was falling to like 5. It’s too good to pass up and it’s no more unethical than owning Chinese or American stocks. It’s no worse than owning Lockheed, Rayveon, Altria, Facebook, etc.
Friday trading holidays just don't feel the same but it's probably good for me. Fighting the urge to buy puts, or sell them to increase my positions, or randomly play 0DTEs like back in the good ol' days. It's rough holding LEAPs through troubling times but I'm trying to be better about not being so fickle. Work has been a complete wreck. And Robinhood's addition of certain things didn't produce the movement one might have expected. What a couple weeks. Speaking of which... u/RAGE_CAKES are you still in YINN? Choppy waters recently as you predicted. I'm also losing faith in my RSX LEAPs. Sigh. It's past beer thirty, kids. Nothing special this week, just my daily drivers; Modelo and Pacifico. Cheers.
had to check if my $5 PUT I sold in RSX got assigned.
Just a reminder there’s people in this sub that have money in RSX
Not that you can now (RSX has halted new share creations and Russian stock purchases even if it’s still trading) but Americans are banned from new investments in Russia. Not to also mention that Russia is only escalating the war from here.
It’s technically not trading. RSX mainly holds ADRs and GDRs. And those are suspended as well. ERUS holds the actual stock on the Moscow exchange, but they can’t trade it as well because the MOEX still bans non-Russian residents from trading. So yeah, it’s unfortunately still in limbo. I have some shorts I’m still paying pretty high interest on. And it’s on the hard to borrow list.
How fucked is my 50 shares of RSX?
When is RSX gonna open? My Russian calls wants to moon
My guy, your RSX is gone 
Reopen RSX damnit I have like 3 grand just sitting doing nothing that I can’t even sell or buy more of I am not Russian nor have ever been. Yet you punish all bag holders who bought an etf Fuck outta here.
I shorted the Russian etf (RSX) in anticipation there would be war and made money! Thinking of capitalizing on a geopolitical conflict can be sound, but you have to anticipate in advance of market change. Most Russian etfs are halted and some company holdings in them will not survive. Think of future impact of a protracted conflict …on food (wheat/corn), energy, defense stocks (I don’t buy personally). But you are late to these as well. Often the pros are acting earlier than the retail investor. I don’t want to discourage you, so Keep ideating and then nibble at a stock based on your premise. There will be volatility but you could make some good decisions, but don’t bet the farm when speculating.
I’ve considered myself straight all my life but I’m starting to think having a femboy bf would be pretty based. Positions: [Dead options](https://imgur.com/a/RfUUJzY) including RSX LEAPS
RSX is not trying anymore. We don’t know when it will be back.
So when is RSX coming back online? Futures aren't looking terrible for my camp.
I own RSX calls that I bought on Feb 24 so what happens now to me?
Hi, I spoke with the manager. He informed me that you are regarded but we can happily comp you with some RSX calls.
Y’all know how I can sell my RSX position? It’s all shares. If not, when would I be able to ?
i'm sorry about your $RSX, you are not alone.
I am up 1.4% YTD vs -5.82% YTD for the S&P 500. Primarily due to large positions in CVX and LMT. Bonehead move this year was starting a small position in the Russia fund RSX in January/February when it was down 30% from the ATH. I thought there was no way Putin would actually invade. Doh. My position was down 72% before trading was halted.
I have RSX calls for 8/19 plz tell me how these are not gonna print!
Anyone want to buy my RSX shares? I will have to mail them I guess
I'll rather scream into the forest than try to sell this RSX call 🤡
I agree with many of your conclusions, particularly as to Fed policy (although all bets are off if we don't just hit stagnant growth but a true recession), and emerging markets equities make up a sizable portion of my portfolio and I've recently added local currency EM bonds as well. But woof, this did not age well. >First, Russia won’t invade Ukraine, Putin will consolidate his holdings in the rebel regions but won’t go as far as to get hit with real sanctions. A lot of fuss and then things die down. Russian stocks are getting crushed, this is probably close to the absolute bottom so load up on $RSX. Hold for 6 months and make 30%, $RUSL will do better.
I bought 50 shares of RSX at $9 before trading was halted.
I bought some LUKOY right before they shut down trading. About 50 shares at $12. Lotto ticket. I also sold a bunch of puts on RSX. Really thought I was gonna get F-ed on those puts but RSX halted and the holders never assigned them so they all expired worthless and I actually made a few bucks
I’d buy the dip on RSX. Just needs to open sometime.
I bought 1k shares of RSX at 6$. Hope it opens! Damit
I've heard mention of RSX trading resumption today. Any truth to that or just hope and bullshit? I can't find anything official.
Am I stuck holding RSX and ERUS the rest of my life or what? How can stocks just not trade indefinitely
Looong dated. Waiting it out a bit. Same on RSX. So cheap with so much time value? Would be a shame to waste it.
Anyone know if RSX is actually gonna open tomorrow or not?
I picked up long calls right before RSX stopped trading. Just sitting on them waiting to see what happens. Plenty of time for things to sort themselves out. Or not.
All fun and games until RSX calls are worth 6000% in 2024
When are they opening RSX back up?
RSX possibly opening tomorrow?
Does anyone have any info on when RSX will unhalt?
