It defo looks like a very poor close, and shorts will be moving in tomorrow.

Stephen, post any message you want but don't be rude good sir. I know you got money invested and its bad to see it droppings, but its just a stock. Your taking risks.

Not shorting anything, and wouldn't know how to do it if i wanted to.

Can battle and name call me as much as you want, but facts are there on FT. Nothing material has changed for positive.

Chris, ohh my goodness, your not that naive are you? I'm a poster on a board, its has ZERO effect on it as factual as my statements are. There has been plus 8000 trades today, totalling 10s of millions.

I would love to have that power though!!

Great username Bot.....

Stephen, I am simply honored your first post is about me. clueless and baseless....if only that was true, I'll live life in bliss.

Watching your posts closely, you wouldn't be Ray would you?

On everybody that think sanctions will be removed just like that.

FT mins ago.

"UK prime minister Boris Johnson has vowed to prevent “backsliding” on sanctions against Russia and insisted that reversing action “simply because there is a ceasefire” would be “inconceivable”.

“It is right that we should double down on military defensive support,” Johnson told the House of Commons on Wednesday.

“We will go on with that, but what we will also do?.?.?.?is make sure that there is no backsliding on sanctions by any of our friends and partners around the world.

“In fact we need now to ratchet up the economic pressure on Vladimir Putin, and it is certainly inconceivable that any sanctions could be taken off simply because there is a ceasefire. That would be absolutely unthinkable in my view.”

Subject to no material news remaining today/tomorrow. this will be shorted.

Pumped on nothing material, situation on the ground has actually escalated.

Truss wants to be leader, and as a woman you are always accused of being softer/weaker than your male counterparts, so women have to act tough so they aren't accused of being weak. Its politics 101....

Certain conditions from reading there statements was an unconditional withdrawal other words quite unconditional surrender you got your as whooped.

This along with POLY got pumped when NOTHING material has changed. Expect the shorters to move in subject to nothing material remaining today, tomorrow.

Take advantage of the swings folks! Its boom time for the opportunists.

Of course the sanctions will hurt us, if they didn't they would never come off but sickness is better than death.

If you think sanctions will quietly be dropped, you don't know sanctions then.

Putin orders all gas paid in Roubles so it can prop up its currency, and G7 and Europe have flatly denied. Germany has implemented gas rationing as its expecting flows to be limited by the Russians and eventually cut.

This will be a major escalation, no gas means no electricity eventually or rationing. Massively impacting GDP and inflation.

FT today
"Robert Habeck, economics minister, on Wednesday morning activated the “early warning phase” of an existing gas emergency law put in place to deal with acute energy shortages.

The move was triggered by German concern that Russia might cut supplies to the country and its neighbours because they are rebuffing Moscow’s efforts to force payment for gas imports in roubles.

Russian officials said on Tuesday that Moscow would not “supply gas for free” to Europe, a day after G7 countries unanimously rejected President Vladimir Putin’s directive requiring rouble payments."

Sub 300 will be coming soon..,

VTB bank just went bust, nothing changed on ground and Russians consolidate and regrouping (its all BS), Putin ain't stopping until he has a firm upper hand and flattens as much as he can on the way.

Also, Rouble deadline coming up for paying gas, its going to hit the markets and economies like a train. Its either gas rationing or blackouts, drastically reduced economic activity, and West has to retaliate with more sanctions and not giving an inch to putin even more.

VTB Bank just went bust in Europe.

Got this deadline for Rouble payments coming up, likely if the Russians stop the flow of gas, this will go up a few levels. Maybe invest in a generator for the home before its to late.

Jones, Slating the company? Never, its got amazing assets and managed well. I've said that countless times...

Chris, not much say to you...making stories up it seems. I said he is a candidate of sanctions due to being an Oligarch and being on the target list for OFAC. What you think the next few steps are for sanctions if we don't get a lasting ceasefire/peace agreement? Start sanctioning more oligarchs, not sure if Nesis will be buts hes a candidate. Keep well.

Moon is fake.....

Have you seen the Truman Show.

Before all the emotional and abusive posters come and shout deramper, he's shorting, this is going to the moon.

Please posts substantiated facts if you would like constructive discussion

Booz, I typically highlight risks here due to the fact everyone else highlights benefits, and going to the moon etc.

The risks migrate from obviously the UKR conflict and the EXTREME anti Russian hysteria, which has always existed to an extent but never ever this bad. During the height of the cold war ie cuban missile crisis nothing of the sort happened in the way of sanctions which Russia is under. It is the most sanctioned country on earth, more so than NK and Iran.

Risks - more sanctions ie say full embargo one all financial transactions as for now we have loop holes and 30% of Russian banks are still on swift, being banned from dollar or eur (apart from payments for energy), the Rus state taking over the assets in country (unlikely) or more likely the Oligarchs work there magic and take the assets in Rus and Kaz (which is even more corrupt than Rus), sanctions in terms of no gold mined from Rus (even if its a "Brit") entity being sold domestically or internationally, and the most likely scenario is our Oligarch Nesis being sanctioned and POLY being in the same situation as EVR, suspended indefinitely.

Its going to get worse before it gets better I'm afraid. This jump in SP was premature as nothing has changed on the ground. Nato+ will wants actions not just positive statements.
