Ready to pounce on the beat down here just have to watch todays peace talks and future events and any OTC regulatory announcements on Russia ADRs.
Highly recommend keeping an eye on all the Russian beat down stocks.
Gazprom LUKOil and Yandex for example and any Russian otc listed stocks. Nasdaq made some announcements. OTC said would follow regulatory requirements non so far. I would say OTC rout safest as Nasdaq and NYSE already halted a few. Notice not permanent suspension…
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
The New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market halted trading of several U.S.-listed Russian stocks this morning in the wake of tough new sanctions imposed by Washington in response to the invasion of Ukraine.
NYSE’s website said the exchange had halted the trading of Russian telecom operator Mobile TeleSystems PJSC, mining and steel company Mechel PAO and online real-estate classifieds company Cian PLC due to “regulatory concern.”
Nasdaq halted the trading of several other Russian companies, including search-engine operator Yandex NV and online retailer Ozon Holdings, citing “news pending.” Ozon, sometimes called Russia's Amazon.com, held its initial public offering on the Nasdaq in 2020.
The halts are temporary while the NYSE’s and Nasdaq’s regulatory teams study the newly imposed sanctions, people familiar with the matter said. They don’t go as far as a delisting, in which a stock is booted off an exchange.

Growing dividends and worried about not passing 15% - plus Iraq oil play Higher capital spending in the coming three years at Russian oil major OAO Lukoil Holdings (LKOH.RS) may postpone further dividend growth, Deputy Chief Executive Leonid Fedun said Friday.
Lukoil has promised to increase dividend payments under a new 10-year strategy that the company will detail in January. But investors may have to wait, as the company needs to invest heavily in the coming years to stabilize falling output in its main production region of West Siberia and in projects in Iraq and West Africa.
"I cannot say if the dividend payout will be higher than 15%. It's a matter of priority, as the company faces significant investments in 2012 to 2014," Fedun said.
"We have a fairly conservative approach but, overall, I can say that dividends are growing," he said.

This is a new one me. Don't want prices for oil to rise? They must have oil production in Iran, or contracts to sell at the current price area or political BS, or what am I missing? Europe-wide crude oil sanctions against Iran would "dramatically" boost the price of Russia's Urals blend, said Leonid Fedun, deputy chief executive of Russian oil major OAO Lukoil Holdings (LKOH.RS), on Friday.
"The price on Urals will increase dramatically if sanctions are imposed on Iran," said Fedun. "But I'm not convinced that would happen, because it would mean taking around 4 million barrels off the market."
Growing concerns over tensions with Iran are pushing prices higher, as U.K. and Canada introduced fresh financial sanctions on Iran, while the U.S. also tightened their sanctions further, and France Thursday proposed a Europe-wide ban on Iranian crude imports.
Urals crude, which refiners can use as an alternative to Iranian oil, rose to trade at a premium of 50 cents above the Dated Brent benchmark Thursday. Historically, Urals trades at a discount to Brent, due to its lower quality compared to Brent.
"We would like the situation to be solved in a normal and peaceful way," said Fedun, adding that sanctions would cause harm to the market.

Rosneft in Search for a New Partner on the Shelf -

Rosneft in Search for a New Partner on the Shelf
Oil major Rosneft is looking for a partner to develop a section of the Black Sea shelf. The company earlier dismissed Total as a partner in the project. Now Statoil an ExxonMobile are high on Rosneft’s list.
Rosneft is still interested in working on the shelf of the Azov and Black Seas, the oil producer’s first vice-president Sergey Kudryashov said Thursday in an interview published on Rosneft’s corporate web-site. The company is currently collaborating with LUKOIL, drilling the first well in the Temryuk-Akhtarsk sector of the Azov Sea shelf. In the Black Sea, Rosneft has been holding a license for the Tuapse progib section since 2003 but has not gone far with it. The oil firm is now looking for “ways to speed up the project” and shopping around for partners, Mr. Kudryashov said. Rosneft on Thursday would not give details on the list of possible partners.
The 12,000 sq. km Tuapse progib stretches from Novorossiysk to Tuapse. The section’s oil reserves are estimated at 100 million metric tons.
Having won the license for the section in 2003, Rosneft declared plans to develop it with France-based Total. The parties, however, failed to reach any agreement following a trail over another project of Rosneft where Total also had its interest.
Rosneft is currently looking for a major Western company to join it in the Tuapse progib, a Kommersant source says. ExxonMobile, which is working with Rosneft in the Sakhalin-1 project, said they were examining the possibility but would not give any details. A source of Kommersant has reported that Norway’s Statoil has also received an offer to work in the Tuapse section.
Under the license agreement, Rosneft is to drill the first well in the section before 2010, which will be extremely difficult and costly to do. “Rosneft wants to share risks and cost,” says Valery Nesterov from Troika Dialog says. “It does not operate any shelf project on its own.”

Yukos probed over ex-spy's death -
Alexander Litvinenko
Alexander Litvinenko suspected the Kremlin
of poisoning him
Russia's chief prosecutor says he is investigating
whether a former boss of the oil firm Yukos may be
linked to the death of ex-agent Alexander Litvinenko.
The prosecutor-general's office said it was "checking
the version" that former Yukos manager Leonid Nevzlin
could be among those involved in the poisoning.
Mr Nevzlin's spokesman said the suggestion was
"ridiculous", Reuters news agency reported.
Mr Nevzlin was close to jailed tycoon
Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who ran Yukos.
The prosecutor-general's statement said Mr Nevzlin
and some other ex-Yukos executives were wanted
internationally "over serious crimes".
It said there were indications of a link between
the poisoning of Mr Litvinenko and attempted murder
of Dmitry Kovtun - who met him in London before
he fell ill - and "the charges that
several Yukos managers committed crimes against
the life and health of citizens".
Demise of Yukos
Mr Nevzlin, who denies any wrongdoing in connection
with Yukos, is now living in Israel.
Leonid Nevzlin in Tel Aviv, Israel, 31 May 2005
Mr Nevzlin fled to Israel after prosecutors acted
against Yukos
The prosecutor-general's office says it is taking
steps towards the possible extradition of
the Russian suspects living abroad.
Former secret service officer Mr Litvinenko died
in London on 23 November and his body was found
to contain a massive dose of the radioactive
isotope polonium-210.
The case - which remains shrouded in mystery -
has strained relations between
Britain and Russia.
A statement made by Mr Litvinenko before he died
accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of
involvement in his death - but the Kremlin
has dismissed any suggestion it was involved
as "nonsense".
Mr Khodorkovsky is facing new money-laundering
charges along with his jailed
colleague Platon Lebedev.
Most of the enormous assets of Yukos have been
taken over by the state-controlled oil company,
Rosneft.

Russia Investigates Lukoil Taxes -
Lukoil HQ in Moscow -
Lukoil owns more than 400 licences to develop Russian oilfields
Russian authorities have demanded information on 398 licences held in the country by oil firm Lukoil -
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6057076.stm
Control battle?
However, Russian officials deny they are singling out any
one firm.
According to reports Yukos and TNK-BP have received
similar warnings.
"We have requested the information on how Lukoil paid
subsoil use and mineral resource taxes on
these licences," environment ministry spokesman,
Nikolai Gudkov, said.
"The logic is if the taxes are not paid or delayed,
it means that there are problems with
fulfilling licensing agreements."
But, while analysts claim the move could be an attempt
to regain control of the projects, the demands are
unlikely to lead to the same kind of battle that
eventually led to the collapse of Yukos -
