Yes, this is why I expressed an interest earlier. Lets see what happens on Monday.

I have been looking at these this morning. Their historic growth has been quite impressive, but they fell in the August dip in the FTSE, having recovered they dipped again on Friday but seems to have been viewed as a buying opportunity. I wonder if they may move up this week.

lol

Monday morning should be interesting for those still in

cool question, you may know that the two owners were going to split, it seems they have now kissed and made up over the Courchevel holiday issue...the Russian Market (RTS) is very dependant on what happens in New York. If the Dow does well tonight, It could well continue to move back up. They certainly have all the nickel. The other question is how the oil price jump is seen as likely to affect other sectors, I suggest you look at URALSIB's website in the research section (it is free) early Monday morning and see what they say and how they 'target' the price.

As invariably is the case, they wait for Mitvol to depart to his datcha before the big jump now above 1050

it is really motoring now. if it is going to move it oftne does in last 30 minutes

It is moving up now...have a look at adfn's screen. sorry I was out fopr an hour...I should have bought more yesterday when it bottomed out. Mitvol will at his datcha now so it is safe to buy )))

Good to see you have a good night out. As for our friend...in Moscow...I think he is just the errand boy. The 'view' on adfn is he is just trying to keep the sp cheap for a take-over. There is desire to roll up the smaller oilers into a new comglomerate and run it by Kremlin appointees. There have been some informative posts there this morning you may wish to glance at.

I rather guessed not. I really enjoyed your posts on it. Really lifted my spirits on a 'slow' day and made a elcome change from NRK procession of rants. It seems to have taken off from where the near collaspe of that camera retailing company left off.

Are you buying these?

wow

How was Scarborough? Opening higher this morning notwithstanding large sell

This may move up further today

Now posted on London Stock Exchange

2nd) URALSIB: 20/09/2007 A new phase ahead. While we are still waiting news of changes to the cabinet and at the top of the state companies, one picture is emerging. We can expect to see very important changes within the energy ministry and amongst senior management roles in the state energy companies. Without yet knowing the specific details, we believe these changes are likely to be very positive for the sector, and especially for the state-controlled companies. Putin's two-term presidency can best be described as a long period of preparation during which, within such strategic sectors as oil and gas, the state has been more focused on ownership issues and regaining a powerful role for itself. Very few initiatives have been advanced to help the industry develop or to encourage production growth. In fact, more often than not we have seen just the opposite, as the Kremlin has specifically blocked major projects such as Shtokman, refused to allocate new licenses in areas such as East Siberia, and kept the tax regime high. But it is a key part of our assumption for the 2008 investment case that the state will soon start to use what it has built (national champions, financial resources and political relationships) to begin a new phase. That new phase is likely to lead to greater investment in the downstream industries and more projects being opened for development in the upstream sector

URALSIB: 20/09/2007 RTS within 3.5% of record high. Global equities experienced the financial equivalent of an adrenalin rush yesterday, and most ended within a few percentage points of the record highs seen in July. At last night’s closing level, the RTS is within 3.5% of its record high. With US equities closing higher again, and the optimistic mood extending to Asian markets this morning, we can expected Russian shares to again open higher. The price of oil hit a third consecutive closing high on Nymex yesterday, and most base metal prices have also surged. Gains were across the board, but the main focus was again on oils, metals and banks. One negative issue is the strength in the ruble, and as that grows it will cause both inflationary pressures and cut margins for export-oriented companies; but investor focus is elsewhere at this point. The record high oil price, plus the expected management changes within the energy sector, make a tax cut across the oil sector and financial incentives to stimulate growth in that and the gas sector more likely. It is time to upgrade weightings in these sectors, especially for the state-controlled companies

Sept. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil rose to a record $83.90 a barrel in New York after the U.S. said that production in the Gulf of Mexico was shut because of a storm threat.

yeah it is not all breaking up anymore

I have just read that this so called 'news' referred to revocation of some exploration licenses last year...
