In reply to Presley Whippet:
I thought I would get a rough ride.
I am a rather strident lefty who has developed an if you can't beat em, attitude over the years.
My thoughts are:
Wise investors buy the unfashionable, Russia certainly is this.
The disaster capitalists will be along as soon as the markets re open, if not already.
It is Putin and his regime that are at fault, not the Russian people. Guess who the sanctions will hit the hardest. Buying into a Russian company may keep a family breadwinner employed. I do recognise that vlad may get a slice of this too.
Any investment would certainly be long term and not without risk but Russia is a large country and will recover.
Sunak is in, I wouldn't be surprised if tree-frog's hedge fund is in. If that pair of cnts are making then why not the rest of us.
I realise this won't be popular. It's a more extreme version of buying shell after an oil spill or global mega Corp after the ceo had been caught with rent boys and coke and waiting for the recovery.
