Oil and Ruble have been miserable losers in 2014. But the loser award goes to...

Iron ore! What a nosedive in 2014! Gina
Rinehart's fortune reduced by $2B as the ore cratered.

In Russia, Leonid Mikhelson's fortune has halved this year as the billionaire faces an oil nosedive and a ruble meltdown. Actually this is being faced by most Russian billionaires in the energy sector.

Russians Quit London Luxury Homes as Only Super-Rich Stay

Quote:
Wealthy Russian homebuyers are vanishing from London after driving a wave of foreign investment that lifted property prices to records. Only the oligarchs persist.

The number of Russians registered through Christie’s International Real Estate to buy homes in the city dropped by 70 percent in a year, said Giles Hannah, the broker’s senior vice president. That has led to a plunge in offers for properties priced at less than 10 million pounds ($16 million) as it becomes more difficult for all but the wealthiest to take money out of their home country.


This UK property market... Monkeys are coming.

Am also wondering what the excitement is all about.

As the year comes to a close which saw record IPO floats, the award for the IPO con job goes to OW Bunker. 2nd largest IPO in Denmark since 2010. 8 months after the IPO floated the firm filed for bankruptcy as oil prices jumped off the cliff! Waiting to see how long it'll take for IPOs to return in the Danish equity market after wanjikus got slaughtered by this IPO.

The IPO headline back in March 2014 - http://www.bloomberg.com...biggest-since-2010.html

I dont think a visitor is allowed to invest, you have to have a social security number, which is the equivalent of a PIN in Kenya, in order to open a brokerage account. But I think the rule is different for institutional investors, not sure though.
