Oil is also reflecting the coming cease fire. Suckers rally this week. Now we head lower again. Wonder if we see a 2 handle. Can you expand more on what you see happening economically in europe from the russia-ukraine mess. Don't you think Putin is playing? This should be over in a week or so. However, it is a heads up for Europeans to find alternative sources of natural gas.....pronto. Probably there will have to be some reconfiguration of the pipelines and the development of LNG depots at the ports. It won't be easy and they'll have to depend on Russia for many years to come but they have to do it. Putin is borderline psycho. It seems more about money but shutting off supply is certainly an assbackward way of raising cash. Yes, its about the money but its more than that with Putin......its about power too. Putin is like the guy who owns a company and runs it the way his moods dictate. Overall, he makes money but its pretty fukked up how he goes about doing it and he steps on a lot of toes in the process. He's a real problem......a wild card.....one the world doesn't need. Remember, too, Putin is a short guy.
