State pension funds are investing in these Russian assets



Ohio Attorney General David Yost discusses how state pension funds are investing in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. #FOXBusiness

DAVID YOST: The capitalization of Russian companies is helping their economy to continue to run, which is where the money comes from for this war of conquest…we had to go looking, we didn’t know…it wasn’t obvious at first how much we had in public pension funds that were invested, just from Ohio, in Russia, as you mentioned, it was about $300 million.

  1. The Russian stocks are value vs the rest right now.Thanks .

  2. Way to go government use our funds SSI, Postal Retirements, Military Retirements to fund a Murderer.

  3. The "activists" are not so active now because they know very well where their bread, butter and caviar come from.

  4. Family , clan , tribe ,nation . All seeking freedom and interoperability against those who are SUPPRESSING, their economic freedom. Divestiture is one way a tribe exerts economic pressure .

  5. Great info and insight as always. It's kind of irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch and the Russian invasion on Ukraine so far has caused a major dump at the peaks of cryptos, stocks and global economy. I will say we all should find a way to to grow our portfolio as the market is bearish now . I have played safe by putting my assets into active trades, so I don't feel the price if the dump continues. I have made over 12 btc since early January till date from implementing trades with daily Signals, strategy and guidance from Feven Lena. I advise everyone to stick to this method instead of just waiting on a pump.

  6. Putin and XI haven't figured out that the age of colonization is over. The world has changed since the 19th century and no country will a bid by the use of force to take territory.

  7. Big surprise? Hell no! They have been investing anti-America for a long time. Yost… China, the CCP, is our enemy, why would it be conditioned on overtaking Taiwan?

  8. all roads lead to rome. everything is backed by something else.. its a big circle.

  9. ARE ALL PENSION FUNDS, CHARITIES, STOCK MARKETS, WARS, JUST A WAY FOR CROOKS TO LAUNDER MONEY?

  10. We seem to have the same issue in China. Stop pouring US money into the PLA.

  11. Maria, you and fox are pushing for ww3. How much money do you plan to make off of these wars you push for?

  12. They will have to write them off because they're worthless at this point!

  13. NICE ,… LET US FUND RUSSIA KILLING CHILDREN IN UKRAINE WITH OUR INVESTMENTS! SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.

  14. I guess they won't be now.

  15. We have a Food procesed plant and fresh Export plant want to invest we are accepting Investments here and PEOPLES need to eat even in war time and we are a democrático country!!!!

  16. Let’s not go there now. Do we keep hurting Americans due to a European Civil War.

  17. So this one world no borders thing not working very well right now huh?

    Who could have ever predicted that?

  18. Vote against Biden in the next election..let's get rid of Biden and the Squad🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

  19. Because of economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money💯

  20. While the Media is on the topic of investments and funds. How is that the Dollar Stores has been able to stay in business with reasonable prices that prove they are Patriots while Everyone Else get to overcharge their own People. How are they going to help protect a Country that take everything from them and do not comply to their own laws. This is more incorrect information on who cannot stop these greedy People from overcharging People. I see America giving to the Races that have more ties to other Countries. If Americans feel intimidated by these other Races ties. Why are you allowing them to conduct their businesses in the USA. Take care of your People. They will take care of you.

  21. Biggest retirement class is coming. The bill is due. How can the market survive the amount of people about to retire? Pensions make up most of the market.

  22. "In investing what is comfortable is rarely profitable.
    "Never, ever argue with your trading system.
    "Amateurs think about how much money they can make. …
    "The price of a commodity will never go to zero if not for the governments
    "It's not always easy to do what's not popular, but that's where you make your profit money.

  23. How about a story of how much Russian and Chinese investments the owners of Fox News has?

  24. US GOVT OF CRIMINAL LIARS!!!!!! IT IS RUSSIA YOU MORON,,,,NOT THE US GOVT!!!!

  25. I hope everybody is stocked up on things they're going to need for the next couple years because the inflation that's coming is going to be mind-blowing.

ITS TIME TO ORGANIZE AND FIGHT HERE DOMESTICALLY!

  28. My 401k was going down, so I pulled it all out. I'll put it where I know what it's supporting once the market settles down.

  29. Well there's been a war on children for two years and they profited from that why not bet on the Russians. They still have the housing market just in case, the main thing is to save the pensions.

  30. I'm convinced that the big investors and analysts are trying to scare us to keep us poor and ignorant to the market.. because its steady doing good after all the jobless and market crash talks

  31. Elections President Security elections

  32. Yea but the stocks all dumped already

  33. White America don’t worry your judgement is headed your way fast.

  34. The Ruble is not Currency. Pay debts in Gold.

    The world must make sure Xi Jinping 🇨🇳 won't get away for financing Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
