So, who is CIMA and what is SRATFOR Systems Inc. ?? Anyway, I tend to be an optimist, so I think Russia's problems are bad but fixable. Stories about imminent economic collapse are getting old. Russia is not Indonesia IMHO. The Ruble is not overvalued, so the "crisis" is a short term liquidity crisis which IMHO will be fixed more with tax revenues rather than IMF loans. Remember, they need the loans (or news that they will indeed get the loans) as more of a phycological hedge against currency speculators. As soon as there are doubts about devaluation, the covering of short positions will end the speculation. To VI: I am fairly new here but I know you are posting on Yahoo too and you seem to have a good handle on what is going on. My question is are you Russian ?? Are you more in favor of a new government ?? Sorry for the questions, but I am too lazy to check some of the older posts.
