R640 – they’re up because Jim Willie (who is ment17’s hero) is going to be right and the reset will be announced Sunday night!
eeos – I had read the Putin address on Paul Craig Roberts site about a week ago. Clearly he is the only adult in the room. The US could use a good leader like him instead of the juveniles we have leading this country.
What I don’t like seeing is Russia’s central bank trying to prop the currency by raising rates and injecting liquidity. I think they’d get their currency to firm up if they floated rumors that they were about to back the ruble with gold or other hard assets. Look what the Fed and ECB have been able to accomplish by simply jawboning.
