Only puts now on RUSL as a play and even that could entail risk as the Direxion crooks shutting down RUSL down March 11th as soon as that news came out yesterday was out. Still flipped it a few times for profit before the final news dagger.
No news yet from OTC suspending any Russian stocks. Let me know if you see any.
Still some Russian OTC plays that are interesting the most exciting is Gazprom which is now severely beat down. As one of largest oil companies in the world will the war end before OTC is forced to delist?
Will have to watch. We know that all the current US and European sanctions against Russia are bogus so far because Russia is the top supplier of imported gasoline to the United States. “In 2021, Russia accounted for 21% of all U.S. gasoline imports,” Forbes writes. Feb 28.
All LUKOil gas stations still running in the US and
Sanctions imposed completely useless as Russia (Gazprom) continues to send gas to Europe & even increased supply since the invasion
Much of it transits Ukraine. *****Russian & Ukrainian managers still cooperate 24 hrs. Russia is still paying transit fees.*****
So with RUSL gone March 11 you do your own Russia stock hunt and find good junk for sale that won’t be delisted permanently by Nasdaq or OTC
