    Yep, that’s because the major oil buying nations realized they couldn’t survive without buying some Russian oil, and signed an agreement to only buy it for I think it was exactly 25% under current market value. So if this war ever ends I’m sure Russian oil will rebound. If countries had stuck to their promise to never buy Russian oil it would be way lower than that.

      This is a bold claim to actually bet money on. Too risky for my blood but do you. If you believe it, this is definitely the dip to buy in at.

        Don’t feed the trolls. Dumb rednecks don’t invest money. They blew it all on OxyContin

        Oh i’m not in Russian oil, I’m in US companies. I think BP has done just as well though. Investing in dictator run countries is certainly too risky for me too.
