Investing in today's Russia is like investing in McDonald's in the 50s or Microsoft in the 80s.
Don't miss your chance.

Scots lost their identity long time ago and became loyal English servants. Lunecat is a true example of that treason. He is a disgrace of his forefathers.

oh what did you erase that from the godly memory?

Anyway North Pole, i think Russia would do much better to open up micro credits and buy out asian banks, more people bigger market, concentrating on Europe seams a bigger risk and just the usual thing we expect the old soviets to do, and until they do it well there was a keyword there that hints in the near future, near meaning future, future meaning uncertainty in the forthcoming times, and there is a great variable in the future
