I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN INVESTING IN A COUNTRY RESPONSIBLE FOR GENOCIDE IN SYRIA AND YEMEN

Obviously, if the rationale is to buy when blood runs in the street, Saudi Arabia could be your market of choice. Considering that the great and the good in SA are flying out in droves on their private jets, taking the kookoo clocks (literally) and leaving behind millions in unpaid bills (including the bills pertaining to the upkeep of their jet fleets) investing in SA now would have to hinge on the well known rationale of buying "when blood runs in the street". ... ... Well?! Are you feeling lucky punk!?

what happens after the Aramaco IPO? pump and dump?

You can have it. Ill stick with accepted convention. This will be a train wreck. No doubt some folks will make money, till the Arabs decide they want to change the rules!!!

Here is one of the fascinating things we are as human beings - in our simple reactions. John Burbank spoke about Saudi on his Dec 15 2016 piece and got 516 thumbs up and 16 thumbs down. This gentleman, who arguably probably doesn't list one of his top talents as being a "dynamic speaker", had basically the same message. The take away here for me is to start looking at avenues, which appear to be opening up, for some long term capital to deploy in some form of Saudi ETF to start.. The idea originally started percolating with me with Mr Burbank's interview. Thanks RV

Andy J…I hope not. If RV start this they introduce conflict of interest which in my eyes will wipe the quality & reputation overnight. I have my suspicions also with the whole vision 2030 thing…I spent 7 years in Qatar as a teenager, albeit from 2000 to 2007. There was too much risk in corruption and the ability of them being able to change the rules to suit back then, however we are 10 years on. One thing I would say that may be a valid point is my age group and the age group before me have spent a lot of time in the west. Perhaps this may have helped shape fundamental views….food for thought!

RVTV, was this a paid advertisement?

I tallied the mood of the comments.. out of all the comments there is 1 positive comment. If you're a contrarian then this might be a screaming buy.

C.r.a.p.

Saudi would need to do a lot to convince me they have improved rule of law and enforcing contracts before I put another dollar there. From experience in the mining industry they are good at welcoming capital/expertise and super adept at stealing assets using the corrupt courts. Classic lobster pot

I appreciate the update on saudi. glad/sad to see I've not missed much overlooking this market. Those folks have problems.

Disappointing. Looks like an infomercial. No more like this please RV.

So does investing in Saudi indirectly fund the spread of Wahabism?

So does invest

Also disappointed to be down to three interviews per week. Five please!

More epic Masterclasses less Middle East plz!!

When I subscribed to RV, The plan was to have access to 5 interviews a week ranging from 30 to 60 minutes $1 per interview that was the deal. After 1 year we dropped from 5 videos to 4 then 3 recently in July/Aug. --------- We start the first week of September with 3 interviews 22 min with Aspen, 9 minutes selling the Saudi Market, and 34 min with Bill Ehrman…… total 65 min take out the intro and you are below 1 hour. ---------- I have complained to RV about this and will continue to claim what I paid for, and while I cannot cancel my RVTV membership. I have already stopped the auto renewal for RV publication. As for the Saudi Market , I would rather invest my money in North Korea if I can. Thanks

Thanks for this summary of the Saudi market - I don't think I would have found it anywhere else . less than 2% foreign investment! - will be interesting to follow as this market opens up - says something about Saudi willingness to begin to adjust and free up their part of the world.

Anybody understand the concept of Taqiyya?

Now why are these guys trying to get my money in their stock market all of a sudden? Hmmm.... Lots of other places to invest in the world. but interesting.

Can you say TRUST?

wow, that was reslly for nothing. at least it's short.
