Like that's really going to change things and get their country out of the recession!

Better still, why don't those patriotic Russians demonstrate their patriotism by setting on fire all those 100 US Dollar bills that they have stashed under their mattress?

Doll--this is not 50-- as you can see. The rubble has improved slightly in the last week- as the currency market celebrates Christmas and volumes are down.You can expect the new year to see the rubble continue it's downward slide then-- so please--make sure you report back to us when that happens.

Which part of 'common sense" do you not get? What is happening to UAH is irrelevant to the rubble. Ukraine is trying to create a future-- Russia wants to go backwards 50 years-- and thanks to Putin it will be going there .

...the rubble...

Interesting Freudian slip .

Instead of just complaining about low oil prices, why don't the midget take the initiative to reduce world oil supply by shutting down his Siberian oil fields?

[jone]

Why would anyone care what someone puts in a budget?  Am I to understand that the prognosticators for Russia think that the price of crude is going to hover at $80 / barrel, this year?

 

This self delusion is incredible!  At the current state of affairs we will be lucky to average $60 / barrel in 2015.  A closer guess would be $40.    Of course the Russian economy tanks at $60 and is absolutely in depression at $40, so maybe the government is lying to the people to try to save face.  Who knows?

[sleepycat]

So Doll you have just been caught red handed trying to lie to us!

 

Telling fibs about the current price of oil being $80, and linking some article written in Russian to pretend to add credibility...
When that article is just an opinion piece, saying the price of oil basically could be anything next year.

Your handlers at the Kremlin Propaganda Ministry wouldn't be happy that your fibs got exposed so easily.

Professional investors specializing in helping Russians to invest their money in the USA report a record number of phone calls.  Perhaps Putin's attempts to halt capital outflow from Russia are failing?


excerpt
"Marlen Kruzhkov, a lawyer at Gusrae Kaplan Nusbaum PLLC and an ethnic Russian from East Ukraine, who helps Russian clients evaluate investment opportunities in the U.S., said calls that he usually receives from Russians looking to invest in the U.S have more than doubled since last year.

“I would tell you at least twice as many people are calling than usual, and a lot of the folks who are calling who were skeptical about [investing] in the U.S. are all of a sudden saying they wish they did it sooner,” Kruzhkov said.

The Russian rush for the exit comes as the embattled country’s citizens have been seeking to preserve their wealth amid a cratering ruble, which on Tuesday suffered its most spectacular slide since 1998, when Moscow defaulted on its domestic debts. The dollar has been hitting all-time highs against the Russian currency. "

Doll the price of oil cannot be controlled by the Saudi's alone.  The reason that they increased their production and lowered the price is because they do not want US shale manufacturers to take away their market share.

There is currently a glut (more oil than buyers) on the World market which is why the price per barrel of oil is on a downward spiral.  There really is not much Putin can do about it either.  If he stops Russian oil production he immediately gives up market share to the Americans and Saudi's.  If he doesn't stop it the price keeps going down.  And his own countrymen are working against him:


"Ironically, Kruzhkov notes that he’s seeing Russian investors purchase land in high growth areas around the U.S. shale-oil boom, which is less likely to lose value. U.S. shale-oil producers are often attributed with helping to contribute to the glut of oil slushing around global markets.

“One guy bought land in North Dakota and built housing for workers,” Kruzhkov said. “He has 98% occupancy on the houses he built and he’s in the process of refinancing the property. He couldn’t be happier that he went out there and took that risk.”

And in 3 days time if the price of oil does not start trending back towards $80 will you start blaming your midget president?
