Hi WFGodot, re mir, I cannot agree with you more. My commitment to mir was zero, my belief in mir was nil, and my hope was plenty, wish even greater than hope.
Oh, well, my marauding troops have moved on to Lukoil, to which I am committed, hoping plenty, and understand next to nil, other than:
(a) it will not likely go to zero, and (b) it is cheap, relative to keeping a couple of hundred thousand troops getting a sun tan in the desert at a cost of USD 666/soldier-day (USD 4 billion per month for 200,000 troops, or, at 300k troops, then USD 444/soldier-day, which is definitely not a lucky number in Chinese language), which, in the scheme of matter and anti-matter, is less expensive than hiring that many Pricewaterhouse accountants to do the job of finding more oil and weapons.
So, bottom line, I expect Lukoil to appreciate against the effort in the desert, which is the same as saying I anticipate the effort in the desert will devalue against Lukoil.
