For quite some time I was interested in recommending that my readers invest in Russia. I still had concerns about some political issues and organized crime in the country. Most experts out there tell people to stay away from Russia, so I knew I had to do further research myself.
One day I told my lovely wife to get her passport ready because we were going to Moscow. She was quite excited because Moscow is a shopping mecca with many historical sites to see. But, I assure you—I was there for business.
We traveled to Russia in December of last year and I saw firsthand how the country operates. I observed that the Russians are a hard working and productive people that just want the best for their families. Russians are striving for a better quality of life just like anyone else. I knew right away that the country offers investor’s high profit potential.
I assure you that Russia is still a super power and their society is quite advanced. The energy sector in Russia is still a powerful force in the world. Plus, Russia is one of the biggest producers of palladium, platinum, diamonds, nickel and gold. Russia is a natural resource power house and should do great as commodity prices skyrocket.
When I got back to America I watched the Russian markets for some time and waited for the right moment to tell you to invest.
Then on 04/09/09 in this column, I wrote:
“the Russian market is way oversold and now is a good time to be a contrarian investor and invest when no one else will.”
I told you to buy the Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX). This Exchange Traded Fund holds a basket of Russian stocks and seeks to mirror the Russian stock market as measured by the DAX Global Russia+ Index.
I hope you took the advice. If so, you’re sitting on a 39% gain in just 53 days. And that’s not the only profitable advice you’ve received for free in these pages…
In fact, just this year I sent you lots of big winners including:
7% SPDR Gold Shares (GLD)
21% iShares Silver Trust (SLV)
85% Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX)
45% Plum Creek Timber (PCL)
13% PowerShares DB Agriculture ETF (DBA)
26% iShares MSCI Brazil Index (EWZ)
39% Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX)
29% PowerShares India ETF (PIN)
18% iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index ETF (FXI)
13% The Coca-Cola Company (KO)
11% Market Vectors Agribusiness ETF (MOO)
If you missed this opportunity to get into any of the above positions, it’s not too late. Each one of these picks has the potential to run much higher.

ContrarianProfits.com is a financial news and opinion website with a twist. As investment guru Rick Rule puts it, “You are either a contrarian or a victim.” In the financial world, most people are losers because they just don’t know what game they’re playing. They think they can just get “into the market” along with everyone else, do what everyone else does, and they will make money. Not likely. By the time you’ve paid commissions, spreads, fees, taxes – and suffered the consequences of inflation – you’ll be very lucky just to have as much money as you started with.
ContrarianProfits.com is a contrarian site, in the sense that we provide ideas, opinions and recommendations that often run counter to the mainstream financial press. We do this not just to be contrary, but because we’ve realized that Rick is right. You don’t make money by following the crowd; you make money by leading it.
Why is this so? Well, it’s obvious that if you do the same thing everyone else does you’ll get the same results everyone else gets. On average, and over the long run, real investment returns for the typical investor cannot exceed the rate of growth of the economy itself. Everybody can’t get richer faster than everybody else. Real economic growth in the US today averages about 3% per year; if you don’t make any mistakes, that’s about what you can expect. Few people may be satisfied with 3% per year, but most feel comfortable in the middle of the financial herd and are happy to take whatever that gets them. If you’re one of those people, you will probably not like our site. It will make you uncomfortable.
If, on the other hand, you’re willing to look at things a little differently, you’ll appreciate the views of many of our columnists, contributors and visionaries.
