CIMA, your spreading mis-information

Russia's currency reserves are no longer dropping. Thanks to devaluation, imports have dropped dramatically. There is now a current account surplus. Also, oil and gas prices are rising. That is adding much needed hard currency to Russia and also helping to increase reserves. There was a NINE MILLION barrel drawdown of U.S. crude oil stocks last week alone. There is no longer a "glut" of oil in the U.S. The rest of the world is also drawing down the "glut". Add weather problems dropping production and La Nina, and we could see $18 a barrel oil in the 4th quarter. That is where the money will come from to pay off foreign debt.
Oh, the ruble strengthened today a little. It is in the 16's.
Look at LUKOY, $12 billion in revenues and growing, and a market cap of $2 billion. Absolutely ridiculous valuations that can only be justified by hedge fund antics. Time to BUY. If your looking for doom and gloom look at the U.S.A. stock market.
