CIMA, spare me the doom and gloom

That is all we are getting on the TV too. Everybody is sure Russia is going back to communism except for those that know the real situation. As far as Victor C. and his responsibility for the situation, last last full year he was in power the economy grew by 0.7%. Russia is not asia. In asia they are in trouble because they have overcapacity in production after years of not following free market principles of focusing on profits. Russia is the opposite. It does not have a large manufacturing base. It has recovered from a contraction that was worse than the Great Depression. If the world is flooded with cheap goods, Russia would benefit from cheaper imports.
This is the beginning of the turnaround in Russia. Victor C. is going to focus on the markets first. If you think Russia is worth the value of one American tech stock I would have to disagree.
