Oh, gotcha. Thank you so much for keeping us updated here. I'm so sick to my stomach about this after I lost thousands to this situation with YNDX and now looking at substantially more in losses now with this.

Hey, so I'm in the same boat as you and want to get out with the 3k loss, not 16k loss. Sadly, I used Robinhood for my trades. Was curious who you used and how you're going to avoid the situation I mentioned below at YNDX. I'm still calling around because Robinhood just said to wait it out, but I'm worried I'll be screwed if I do that.

Exactly. That's what happened with YNDX when the Russian fallout happened. And I do not own any SIVB shares to exercise my protective put.

Just chatted with a broker who posted:

"Thank you for your patience. After review, SIVB was halted by the exchange and not currently trading due to a T12 halt. Once the trading halt is lifted, you'll be able to trade this position again.

A T12 halt is placed on a security when the exchange requests additional information. After the company releases the material news, the stock will start trading again normally.

A T12 halt can last anywhere between a few hours and a few months and we can't predict when the exchange will allow the stock to be traded again.

For your options contracts, we will have to wait for the halt to be lifted and for the OCC to release official instructions on how options contracts are effected.

The positions are not able to be exercised while halted. If the halt goes past the expiration date, we would still have to wait for the official notice to be issued by the OCC on how options contracted that were held through the halt will be effected."

So what does this really mean? I have put spreads and thought I was protected on the bottom...but could this turn into a similar situation that YNDX had where the I got stuck with the worthless stock and couldn't exercise my ITM puts?

An update: My broker is able to help me try to exercise thru broker to broker settlement. But in order to exercise it, I have to short-sell. To short-sell, I have to keep a maintenance requirement fund in my account. That maintenance requirement is 200% worth of each contract…. I don’t know what I should do with them now….

My question is, how long is this SIVB gonna stay suspended before delist or go to OTC?

Searched for the halt stocks and saw a few stocks like SVA and YNDX stayed in suspended for over a few years…. Not sure if SIVB will eventually be one of them?

Not sure what you are asking. A naked contract is a short option position. Someone holding a short position cannot exercise a contract.

If a long contract holder wishes to exercise, they exercise via their broker. The exercise and assignment would be handled by NSCC for settlement.

In the situation where the NSCC stops accepting exercise and settlement (which can occur). The contracts are then subject to broker-to-broker settlement.

The OCC may also choose to remove automatic exercise thresholds if underlying pricing cannot be determined.

A good example is to look at the various infomemo's from the OCC on how they handled longer term halts of stocks and ETFs like YNDX, RSX, CO, etc.

In reality - I imagine it's a hassle and the broker likely has fees associated with these types of exercises.

Unironically, I was actually looking to short $YNDX shortly after the war broke out but it was delisted before I got the chance.

Similar story I'm sure with most Russian companies on western stock exchanges

i invested money on yandex ticker (yndx) im not able to sell the shares on robinhood. is there anyway i can get that money back or is it lost forever ?

Better then 1300 shares of yndx on Feb 25th!! Still halted

Technically/legally YNDX is not a Russian stock. It's the Netherlands. In Russia Yandex is not a public company, it's an LLC. QIWI should be the same. Even for Russians it's like a foreign stock...

Watch out there.. if US have to put sanctions on China for some reason, Taiwan war, supporting Russian proxy war via secondary sanction etc. your stocks become unsellable till that sanctions get lifted. I had some bit of YNDX that is unsellable because it’s a Russian stock. FWIW.

What’s up with $YNDX? Getting delisted or no?

Whats going on with $YNDX? It’s live again? It’s getting delisted in the US?

Indeed it is, now if YNDX were ADRs, I could hope to get some MOEX shares, but they aren't. So where does that leave me? If they de-list, will they buy them back for some nominal sum or will they become pink sheets? Are the shares on MOEX for the same as these Class A shares on NASDAQ, they are for the same legal entity. Can I just get them issued in paper form and sell them in Russia? (in theory, and ignore the restrictions on foreigners in Russia)

Unfortunately the Reuters article is only applicable to ADRs, since ADRs are receipts for shares owned by a bank on the domestic stock market. So in this case, the financial institution that issued you the ADR can instead transfer you the underlying shares in Russia, but YNDX are class A ordinary shares. Thus it's confusing why trading on them is halted since Yandex N.V. technically is a Dutch company that has operations in Russia.

I’m holding a small position in YNDX and I’m not happy

I YOLOed my entire account into YNDX… it suspended the next day, it’s been suspended since February 😭

This complaint really should be directed to the NYSE/Nasdaq instead of brokers (at least in the US, not sure if London reopened trading).

I can vaguely remember that YNDX and some other companies were allowed to start trading on the Monday after the harsher sanctions were put in place, they plummeted, and then got halted by the stock exchanges themselves.

And that's been that.

When can we short YNDX?

Shit is going straight to $0.

YNDX

Yndx down 69%

This market would have made YNDX $50 a piece today.

Just buy puts on YNDX once they finally reopen trading.

Easy money. Shit is headed to $0.

YNDX, RSX enter the chat

YNDX - maybe. Company is HQ is actually in Amsterdam.

MDX - listed ADR which is a PJSC so there is a delisting risk similar to Chinese government telecoms which have been delisted.

SBRCY - OTC ADR is also a PJSC which has ceased operations in most of Europe and probably would be relegated to a Russia-only bank.

I personally wouldn't invest in any of those funds. Many of those companies are PJSC and I have zero interest in supporting Russian government entities. I think that they will also have forex risks and will continue to have issues because they can't redeem shares. I was selling naked calls on RSX prior to the halt. I would probably continue to write calls if it was still trading tbh.

Stock wise was looking YNDX, MBT, SBRCY. Fund wise ERUS, RSXJ, RSX.

> Does this make sense at all or am I just being dumb?

I think there's a mentality that "really bad situations always = some sort of fantastic yolo/meme trade." That may have been the case in 2020, but during normal periods bad often = bad or at best, mediocre.

There were people on here talking about going to their banks and buying British Pounds when Brexit was announced, ignoring the quality companies that were tanking. Years later, the pound is - last I looked - below where it was. Two days after the Brexit announcement, quality companies bounced back and took off.

The Russian Ruble has been going down in value for years before this started, too. Look at the long-term chart of the Ruble vs the USD.

Additionally, a lot more discussion recently about Chinese companies getting delisted and a handful of names that at this point likely will. Even if something changes with the status of Russia, it feels as if foreign investors are going to face more challenges. In the US, people who yolo'd into things like YNDX are still seeing their shares halted. Russian funds are halted or in some cases liquidating.

I'm not going to say it's dumb - I don't say dumb on here, I think people are trying to learn - but the excitement over a currency that has been eroding in value for years instead of buying things like commodity companies in stable nations (which, imo get a boost from this) or just even quality companies that are down - is perplexing.

For what it's worth, I was short a few in-the-money puts on a halted Russian ADR (YNDX) that expired last Friday. I was partially assigned, so at least one buyer figured out how to exercise their ITM puts on a halted stock.

I have Few $YNDX shares. I’m fucked with this shit news?

Frankly I’m amazed Yandex doesn’t have it on hand. Search advertising being the lucrative business it is …

Makes the difference between GOOG and YNDX stark.

Buy calls on YNDX

GDEV, CIAN, YNDX, MBT all are russia based and have large IT operations.

GOOG, MSFT, ORCL all have significant IT ops based out of Moscow and elsewhere

Bought hhr and yndx before the sanctions halted trading. Is moneys gone forever?

Too late I’m stuck with YNDX @$24 😫

There’s a chance that option holders get fckd in these things. Look at yndx, option holder got frozen out

Idk, once the NYSE is over on yndx I might but the dip. With international sanctions for tech domestic companies are going to have a ton of room to grow.

That or I'm a fucking idiot.

​

boop.

Honestly, with what's going on, so many people seem to want to YOLO into Russia (despite the fact that they've already halted trading in names trading on major exchanges like YNDX) but I think if anything all of this has made resource companies in stable nations that much more attractive. I have no interest in trying to play Russian names for what will either be a bounce or perhaps a 0 in some cases.

What happens to YNDX puts expiring this week if it stays halted? Expire worthless? I almost bought into YNDX puts but thought if it gets halted I'd be fucked.

All of the ones that trade on NASDAQ are suspended though. Like YNDX and OZON for example. I barely see any posts on these forums about it. So Im assuming limited people here own those stocks or Russian stocks being halted/suspended would have been mentioned by now.

Their ETF's holdings are mostly ADRs that trade in London. If London suspends them then I'm not sure how they'll liquidate since there's... no trading market to liquidate them. I imagine there'd just be a premium/discount and it'd track speculation on what the index is, as it's been doing now (such as YNDX not trading).

I'm not sure how they'll liquidate the fund if there's... no trading market.

RUSL's liquidation press release, which I think will be similar to what happens. It says this

> Shares of the Fund will cease trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE”) as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on March 11, 2022 (the “Closing Date”). As the Fund announced on February 24, 2022, the Fund is not currently accepting creations of its shares. Prior to the Closing Date, [...] it will transitioning to cash and liquidating its portfolio. Additionally, the Fund has and may continue to experience significant premiums/discounts between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the Fund’s net asset value. > > Shareholders may transact in shares of the Fund on an exchange prior to the Closing Date, [...]. However, from March 11, 2022 through March 18, 2022 (the “Liquidation Date”), shareholders will not be able to transact in the Fund shares on an exchange, and may only be able to sell their shares to certain broker-dealers, and there is no assurance there will be a market for the Fund’s shares during this time period. > > On or about the Liquidation Date, the Fund will distribute cash pro rata to all shareholders who have not previously redeemed or sold their shares. [...] As calculated on the Liquidation Date, the Fund’s net asset value will reflect the costs of closing the Fund. Once the distributions are complete, the Fund will terminate.

Ahahahah))) I can only advise which one to buy!😉YNDX - Yandex is the Russian analogue of Google. More recently, it cost more than $80 per share. Yandex is the main Internet search engine and advertising platform in Russia. They are developing taxi services and carsharing, they have absorbed the Russian Uber. They have food delivery services. They also own a service for selling cars (auto.ru), real estate, they have a movie platform (kinopoisk.ru), they have their own payment system, an investment platform, a messenger, a music platform, they are engaged in cloud storage of data and provide this service for individuals, have a platform for the sale of tickets for transport, have an analogue of Skype and Zoom. I don’t know what other Russian company can be more reliable than Yandex. It is currently trading at $18 per share. 🍻 Do not thank!😅😜

Hi guys,
There were a few posts about Russian Stocks already, but I wanted to specifically discuss buying Russian Stocks at a current depressed valuations. In particular, I am considering Yandex, Gazprom, Lukoil and a tiny bit of Sberbank.

1. https://www.google.com/finance/quote/YNDX:NASDAQ?window=1M 60% discount compared to the normal valuation (trading halted though)
2. https://www.google.com/finance/quote/OGZPY:OTCMKTS?window=1M 65% discount compared to the normal valuation
3. https://www.google.com/finance/quote/LUKOY:OTCMKTS?window=1M 70% discount compared to the normal valuation
4. https://www.google.com/finance/quote/SBRCY:OTCMKTS 90% Discount compared to the normal valuation
   Risks: If there is protracted war and Russia ends up nationalizing the companies, true, all these stocks effectively go to big fat '0'
   However, I am banking on a different scenario. Eventually, there is a cease fire and Russia and Ukraine come to some sort of agreement. While some of the sanctions will remain, many countries depend on Russian oil and Natural Gas, hence why I am picking Lukoil and Gazprom.
   Also, these are "Too big to fail" companies run by Putin friend. So being that he is generally known for being loyal, he is unlikely to nationalize the property of his friends especially when he is in all likelihood getting his cut from that.
   In that case those stocks will eventually come back to 50-60% of their original valuation, which is going to be more than a double up for the investor at the current valuations.
   Wanted to run this idea by you guys to see what you might think?
   And I am in no hurry, can hold those securities for however long if it takes more time than anticipated.

YNDX likely has further to fall.

But fuck, it’s going to be really tempting once it inevitably reaches penny stock territory.

LOL. "Sberbank (SBRCY) shares listed in London fell by nearly 70%. Other Russian companies with foreign listings were also hammered. Gas giant Gazprom (GZPFY) dropped 37% in London trading. Shares in internet service provider Yandex (YNDX) were suspended from trade on the Nasdaq, alongside seven other Russian companies listed in New York. "

Puts on OZON or YNDX if they unhalt trading on those stocks

Looking at $YNDX when the Russian market finally opens back up. Getting cheap.

The most braindead play I ever made was investing into YNDX (Russian shitstock) when it fell over 50%.

Now I can't even sell it and it may get delisted. 🤡

There goes my small % in Yandex N.V. (YNDX), that's nothing compared to the suffering of the Ukraine people.

Buying some 2024 $YNDX $50 LEAPS. It’s Russia’s Google, strong company that will recover if this conflict is resolved…

Yeah, I had mentioned this elsewhere in this thread, but I think it got buried. I only had $2000 to play with, but I was able to pull some money out of this! About 35%+ (puts on YNDX)

I think there is A LOT more money to be made here as well. Could you imagine if everyone in /r/wallstreetbets focused on shorting every aspect of the Russian economy. We would make a mint and could even help bring an earlier end to this awful war

It appears Yandex spiked in 2021, so I'd measure the stock price relative to earlier years, in the $37/sh to $42/sh range. Even from there, it's a steep drop.

I suspect the chance of delisting is low. News stories about Yandex paying a fine suggest a distance between it and the Russian government. Then you have Wall Street not liking government interference, like a delisting, and they're major campaign contributors. The US has said it won't target Russia's energy markets, so it would be odd to single out Russian tech companies. The bigger risk is Russia insisting on delisting, which I can't predict at all (but I assume is also a low chance).

The biggest bear case is the currency. Russia's bank crisis has caused the Ruble to plummet dramatically against the dollar. I think that's why YNDX has dropped -21% in the pre-market. I suspect there will be a time to buy this company and hold it for 5 years, and beat the market.

Two other considerations: their current address is listed as the Netherlands, which might also help avoid delisting. And they've been around since 1997, before both the dot-com crash, 2008 crisis, and all the Russian invasions in that time. Might be an interesting pick for buy and hold, if your hold time is years.

You okay yndx

Yndx is halted

Puts on $yndx $ozon $rsx

Gonna buy puts on TSM if this keeps going on the off chance that China invades Taiwan. I wanna see YNDX level put gains.

Buy yndx? It is blood on the streets

I only had $2000 to play with, but I was able to pull some money out of this! About 35%+ (puts on YNDX)

calls on YNDX might be the play

edit: yandex is a russia tech company for those ootl

I bought Yandex (YNDX) and I deserve to suffer my losses.

I’ll pick up some $YNDX @ $10

Hope for another day of YNDX gains.

Holy shit looks like YNDX calls gamble paid off big time

Listerally could’ve shorted OZON or YNDX and had better returns… if you think longer than I want the world to burn you come to these kinds of conclusions

Bought some Gazprom and looking to rebuy some YNDX shares for longterm tomorrow, too good of an opportunity to pass up imo.

Yup got some cheap leaps today on YNDX. Oil is actually definitely a play. Plenty of more customers for oil

I had hoped to buy YNDX puts yesterday. Would of turned out great.

Made out good buying YNDX

Buy the dip on YNDX and OZON

Just checking back in to confirm YNDX is a gift at these levels. Buying any dips back into the teens tomorrow.

Who cares!

I jumped on YNDX at $15.75 sold at 21.50

Golden

Just bought a bag of YNDX. (Russias google) it dropped 50% and I am willing to bet it’ll come back up.

100%, sold SJI shares Ive been holding after the soar today and the announcement of going private. Got a lot of YNDX shares at bargain bin prices.

YNDX down 54% today so i bought some.

Fire sale on YNDX

YNDX has cratered amidst the Russia madness. I took a sizable position here. Long term massive winner.

Short YNDX. Sanction Russian Companies. Short Russian Stocks!

Yndx lol

Maybe instead of being stupid 🌈🐻 and buying puts in SPY because you have the IQ of a lemon… you should’ve thought to yourself what are some Russian us listed stocks I could short like YNDX and OZON… and if Russia is going to be hostile what u.s. stocks stand to benefit… mmm maybe cybersecurity firms like PANW, NET, CRWD… but ya’ll wouldn’t be smart enough to figure that out until the invasion literally happens and the market lays it out for you to see… get fukd

YNDX -50% 🤡

Pre-market Losers

$SKLZ -38.0% $RCII -35.1% $OZON -35.0% $YNDX -33.8% $AMTD -27.2% $RSX -24.6% $LMND -22.0% $MBT -15.8% $FUBO -14.0% $FRHC -13.9%

BUY PUTS ON YNDX RSX!! SHORT RUSSIAN STOCKS!!

Yndx

My first option play and I got it right. Shorted Moscow stock exchange and YNDX

Not only is YNDX Russian, it's a tech stock. Should burn your calls to a crisp

The first thing I did after the Fed minutes today was dump all of my money into $YNDX. America is intentionally devaluing its currency. Right now I feel safer in developing markets than in any fortune 500 company.

Nope. But I do believe there are so many people who truly base their decisions off of a random ass comment (of which there were many about NVDA yesterday)

My positions are 50% domestic and 50% international.

Mainly YNDX, BABA, VTI, SONY and Amazon (RSUs)

YNDX. Lump sum invested right at $86 which is basically at top and now it’s at $50.

Never sold. Still believe in it. These guys have created and rolled out products that Eastern Europe and Asia can use and that in itself is mindblowing (Those markets are tough to penetrate with tech) + they work on a ton of cool stuff

Because on green days the people who say they bought puts or shorting, people who trash individuals stocks, and ones saying they are 100% cash all stop posting.

People were saying it was time to short the Russian stock index yesterday and got upvoted. Those saying they bought YNDX and other Russian stocks got downvoted. Told every single Russian stock was going to zero.
