Russia Invades Ukraine
A couple of weeks ago, we shared Russian journalist Anatoly Karlin’s prediction of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, and suggested readers hedge in light of it by using our system to scan for optimal hedges on index-tracking ETFs such as the SPDR S&P 500 Trust (SPY) or the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ). https://seekingalpha.com/embed/19003

Since Germany had already canceled the Nord Stream 2 pipeline system, which is majority owned by Russian energy company Gazprom (OGZPY), and Russia was going to be subjected to sanctions for its Ukraine incursion anyway, it had little to lose.
