Complete and utter bullshit and Putin propaganda. Donbass and Luhansk are inside Ukraine. They are not part of Russia. It is Ukraine's to deal with. The "nazi" Jewish President's to deal with. The "nazi" Jewish defense minister's to deal with. Hell, look what Russia did when Chechens wanted to "separate". Ukraine did not attack Russia. Ukraine did not bomb Russia, did not send terrorists into Russia, did not send troops into Russia, did not rocket Russia. Period. There is no "provocation" for a military invasion into a country that is dealing with your internal matters.
Ukrainians are intercepting a lot of calls that Russian soldiers make to their relatives in Russia and publishing them. Dozens of them. They are all in Russian, so even if I post the files you won't understand them. Here I'll translate one for you: Mother: They all hate us? Soldier: I have never seen anything like this. It's a total clusterf*ck. M: I thought it would be 5-10 days. S: I think it will be months maybe years. You know what I'm afraid of? That even we hold it here somehow, they will not allow is out after our contracts are over. M: Maybe I can get you out somehow. S: You can't get me out. M: I will bring you civilian clothes. S: Not gonna tell you what is the only way that they carry you out of here. M: Maybe they will bring in others to relieve you. S: There are no others. 85-90% are already here. M: What is all this for? S: Everyone is freaking out. They lied to everyone. We're here and we don't understand the goal. We don't know the goal. I can't even imagine something like this - you come into the country and you tell them to change one (leader) for another. I don't know how you can even have that in your head. They thought they will meet us here with flowers - f*ck that! We're not on our own territory. The whole country is now Donbass and Luhansk. Even in '95 in Chechnya it was better.
SCO -6% on the day and more then a small chance it gets crushed by end of day on news. I have no idea why you try to scalp pennies in front of a potential bulldozer. You aren't right on anything energy you are playing with fire and seemingly oblivious to it. Long commodity stocks except Copper are good here. Range bound trades on US indexes have been good for weeks so I'm with you on the bull trap on QQQ but last night your ideas on shorting the bottom of the range ( again ), bulls re fked etc etc were complete bs.
i play sco a few years ago. i got a surprising letter at the end of the year for tax purposes. i think it wasn't a 1099. it was something about K-1. it was my first time buying this and didn't know about these k-1. so i never play with it again because of this.
