I'm disappointed in myself for not making any major trades despite nerding out hard over Rus/Ukr since 2014. What do I buy this week if I think Ukraine will be a decade long quagmire full of misery with no clear winner? I predict commodity prices stay high, except energy which will never be sanctioned. I predict the panic gives way to "new normal" feelings allowing unaffected sectors to recover. I predict big profits for defense, no lasting disruptions for tech or manufacturing, and a big oversupply of Slavic whores. The only things I can think of are buying SVXY, shorting oil and natural gas (too risky), longing food and defense, and continuing to buy tech. None of that sounds very smart to me. Just steady gains over the next few years. I wanted something bigger and I missed so many opportunities this month already.

>MOSCOW, Feb 28 (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Monday said Russia's economic reality had changed but saw no reason to doubt the effectiveness and reliability of the central bank, which hiked interest rates to 20% as it sought to shield the economy from unprecedented Western sanctions. >The bank has also introduced some capital controls as the West seeks to restrict its ability to deploy $640 billion of forex and gold reserves and cut Russia's major banks out of the SWIFT financial network, making it hard for lenders and companies to make and receive payments. Those moves have sent the rouble tumbling to record lows. >"The economic reality has considerably changed," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters. "These are heavy sanctions, they are problematic, but Russia has the potential to offset the harm." >"Russia has been making plans for quite a long time for possible sanctions, including the most severe ones. There are response plans, they were developed and are being implemented as problems appear." reuters.com/markets/asia/kremlin-says-russias-economic-reality-has-changed-stands-by-cbank-2022-02-28/

Germany looking at alternative fuel resources has big potential, I think they'll probably be looking into the renewable energy sector
Mannarino said nothing about the interest rates in Russia... I think?
>I'm sure betting on the illustrious economies of Russia, Myanmar, Venezuela and Belarus will teach you eventually. top kek

URANIUM unironically
Jeremiah Johnson
I was thinking the same as a /sci/ guy
Cooper Rogers
He didn't, all he talked about was them being removed from swift would fuck them over
Hunter Bell
I just woke up and we are barely down at all. What the hell happened lol we were blood fucking red last night
Justin Jenkins
If anything, they’ll resort to coal and nuclear. They need nat gas for heating and balancing power, I don’t think there’s any renewable alternative to that. Wind and solar aren’t looking good in germany under the current circumstances
He said central banks across the world are exercising long term ZIRP. Once again, wrong

futures got bought europe likely just rotating into us markets i think trusting in the initial futures dump is the right play though i think were getting as much of an exit pump as possible and then open is going to be a madhouse
Dylan Sanders
>current year >still fantasising about gold-backed currency kek even if you aren't specifically fantasising about gold-back ruble, the Russian government can't just dump that gold on the market
Hunter Perez
Full schizo gold bug post but it’s looking more likely
over 70% of that war reserve is currently frozen bro, and it includes some of the gold reservers nominally owned by the RCB
Jaxson Foster
USA and EU are sending 'thoughts and prayers' to Ukraine but won't involve themselves directly. Russia is going to. eventually, win the question is how big of a slice of the Ukraine he wants. Market is still in clown mode, so honk honk.
it still amazes me that countries like russia and china think they can do whatever the fuck they want and they somehow don't have to care about LITERALLY THE REST OF THE ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD HATING THEM WITH THE RAGE OF A THOUSAND SUNS. and while that's true, THEN russia invades ukraine. after everyone already hated them.
it's fucking weird.

false >december 2020 bought, and recommended to others to buy at $4.50
Long term hodl so not a problem 10$ is a bargain or No ?
Ryder Wood
yeah, it is truly amazing how badly Russia miscalculated the economic sanctions and their effect. I believe they misjudged just how tied they are to the western system after all.
