FYI: You like to get things cheap. You're so cheap you've been banned from all-you-can-eat buffets in 37 states. Cheap? You can pinch a quarter hard enough to get Washington rowing across the Delaware again.
The recent plunge in oil prices is the best thing that happened to you since they named a thrift store after you. So you're tempted — very tempted — to invest in Russia, where the currency is cheap, the oil is cheap and the stocks are cheap, too.

Ted
