And The Best Performing Stock Market In The World This Year Is
"Isolated, sanctioned, oil-crushed, 'economy is dying', warmonger" Russia...
Of the 93 major equity indices in the world, Russia is the best performer (in USD terms) - up 13.36% YTD (followed by oil-crushed Saudi Arabia)...
The S&P 500 is 48th on the list... (just behind Kuwait and just ahead of Greece)

Booyah!
Aren't all stocks priced in their respective currencies? If so, it's a meaningless chart.
It says "in USD terms".
However, I don't see how S&P is negative YTD. Didn't we have all time highs today? Something's wrong here
Somewhere I read that "Good was Bad & Bad was Good".
Maybe this chart was part of that ?
Maybe ?
As of today...
http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/SPX:IND
speaking strictly YTD... +1.83%
http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/RTSI$:IND
strictly speaking YTD... +15.61%
My guess is these numbers are dated about a week or two ago.
Russian stocks are down nearly 40% since last May...
ZH suffers from 'selective reasoning'

mattgallis.... If you are reading "Yay-Hoo Finance" and buying their santorum..... WHY do you even bother to subscribre to Zero Hedge?
You must be new around here...
It would be wise to take any and all sources with a few grains of salt.

Not only are you incorrect, but chart porn proves you're wrong. And if one goes by strictly YTD, yes, the Russian index is leading the pack.
Which just proves two things, 1) you can't read a chart, and 2) you sound like one of those disgruntled types that bought the all-time high.
Is being down 40% since May'14 and then up 13% since Janaury'15 (i'll let you calculate the net "gain") a good trade for you?
According to ZH, buying silver @ 35 bucks 3 years ago, was a great decision. Wanna know why? Silver surged today from $17 to $17.35!
PM's are a hedge agains central banks money printing frenzy not an investment actually, so ZH was right at recommended it even at 50's.
It is not. They also pay their workers in their own currency so profits are through the roof.
America on the other hand... has priced itself out of the market. Earnings will be down over 10% because of the dollar strenght, and the economy, Obamacare included can’t carry such a drop.
Bu, bu ,bu bu but...
please, whatever you do, don' throw me in dat sanctified briar patch, brer' Bama .....
i thought we were to believe that stock markets were not a true measure of economic strength???
i don't know what we're supposed to believe. the media and obama keep telling us the economy is great because of the stock market. are you saying they're lying?
i'm pretty sure that everything is a lie, MSM, alternative news, etc. etc. - all bullshit
That's a damn lie....!
As a layman, might I asked how this was determined? For example, US start of year (15,000) to EoY (18,000) would be 20%?
Yes. You may ask.
Where in the world do you come up with US start of year (15,000)?
I am fairly sure they are talking about THIS year, which is 45 days old, give or take.
And yet the UAH/RUB relationship is FUBAR.
Go figure.

What a bullshit, DAX is up 12% ytd, get your numbers right!
Year to date is exactly 1 month and 2 weeks, and yes, Russia did very well during that time. Not so much in 2014.
Ummmm...... Yes, I'm a huge Putin and Russia fan and hate the ziocons who run this country and west but come the fuck on with this shit. That's like comparing oil to us stocks. The fucking russian market was the only one that got hammered 60% or so while every other market was hitting new all time highs. Once again, come on with this shit.
Well, maybe the Tylers sold quietly some time ago, or their closet door is opening up. ;-)
every other market? like brazil, mexico, and south korea?
Stop listening and believing what the globalist/US/EU press-ti-tutes put out. The information is skewed, just as the "unemployment figures" are skewed.
Boy, when they pull the plug, it will be hilarious!
Since the introduction of the Russia's sanctions on the EU, some sectors of Russian agricultural complex are up from 40% to 200% in just three months.
Go, figure...
Also for your general education:
Two-front wars in Europe aren’t good for Germany.
Kaiser Wilhelm and Adolph Hitler don’t need to rise from their graves to make the point to the present German Chancellor, Angela Merkel. But is it her policy to pursue war against Russia in the east, and against Greece in the south, while claiming the conflicts have been forced on her by chekist Russians and chekist Greeks? The German characterization of both enemies as chekist comes from a high-level German figure who is close to the Chancellery and how Merkel thinks. In Berlin’s version of war in Europe, the new Nazis are in Moscow and Athens.
As for one of the leaders of the war party in Kiev, Merkel has privately and publicly endorsed every claim of Yulia Tymoshenko, promoting her release from prison and protecting her campaigns for war against Russia, even though – according to the high-level German source – “they [Chancellery, Foreign Ministry] have known for years that [Tymoshenko] was a crook.”
Since the civil war in Ukraine started after President Victor Yanukovich was ousted from Kiev on February 21, 2014, Merkel has repeatedly said in public that if Germany gives military support to the Kiev side, it will lead to war between Germany and Russia. This is how she said it after meeting with President Vladimir Putin at the G20 conference in Brisbane, Australia, last November: “This [Ukraine] conflict is not to be solved militarily. This would lead to a military engagement with Russia which would with certainty not be a local one.” Manipulation by Merkel’s aides of what she meant, as distinct from what she said, led to this cut and pasting in the Anglo-American press.

Zimbabwe missed? Maybe next year!
Gazprom is up 9.16% ytd. Plus it pays an 8% dividend.
You betcha. We invest to make money...not friends.
And what was the best investment one year ago? Greek bonds and Japanese stocks?
Put your money on the table, boys and girls. There's gold in them thar steppes.

"Isolated, sanctioned, oil-crushed, 'economy is dying', warmonger"
Tyler, I thought you were talking about the US for a second there.
If I was Russian that would be cold comfort when the value of my currency has been cut in half. Zimbabwe's stock market skyrocketed when their currency collapsed.
Like a 1.5 month move even matters.
