Could this be a good time to bargain hunt for debt and stock in Russian blue chip companies? The answer is you should probably be thinking about it and planning your next moves if history is any lesson. Companies such as major Russian energy firms as well as others will definitely weather the downturn no matter what, and at the prices they are selling for now, it’s an opportunity that presents itself not very often so now is the time to start planning your moves.

There is a complete unity amongst all experts and commentators regarding how tight the relation between Russian modern wealth and oil prices. But there is a lot of controversy about the energy price prognosis. Since last few years clearly demonstrated energy prices have been manipulated, perhaps, like FX Networks’ “Damages” showed, guessing and gambling is what we are left with.The only thing we might be confident is the new US administration is not up to promulgating oil prices as hard as the previous one.
