Romney Invests In “Number One Geopolitical Foe” Russia
Mitt Romney dabbled in Russian stocks, buying and then selling shares in a Russian gas company in advance of election season.
Mitt Romney acquired and sold shares last year in the politically powerful Russian gas giant Gazprom. Ann and Mitt Romney's family trust return, released Friday, shows Romney sold his Gazprom stock at a loss last September in advance of election season.
Romney's 2011 trust — managed, he says, without his input — also shows in its return hundreds of dropped shares of a Russian internet firm, Yandex, sold at a loss in August of 2011. Yandex operates the largest search engine in the country.
