With the recent restrictions on ownership out side of Russia, I encourage investors to take caution when investing in this country. While Mechel is exempt from this restriction since it's traded on the US markets, this is just another example of Russia not excepting globalization and trying to keep all their wealth internal. This may be a growing trend and something to watch out for. Mechel is a good company with a great business plan but if Russia doesn't learn to share, investors won't either.
