Nord Stream

Just for the record, after reading another article concerning Finland's objections on the route, I want to say that I have been sure from day one, an am still, that this investment will never go into operation because of environmental issues, economic ones or both.

As energy sources (including natural gas) prices will inevitably go done, Russia and other energy price addicted countries will fall short of money, this investment will be postponed a lot of times, and (finally) cancelled. The worst would be to end up with a lot of useless steel crap in Baltic...

The simplest, and perhaps the best scenario is that we will fall back to route through Poland (second stage of Yamal pipeline) in few years.

January Sale on stock markets

It seems that Big Sale on stock markets is ending, so this might be last time to buy stocks. Anyway this surely is a better moment to buy stocks than May/June or September, isn't it?
