The experience of BP and others in doing business in Russia is so bad I wonder at anyone thinking of doing business there. Only when Russia is seen to be stamping on those who use political influence to' mug' investors will it be worth even .considering. It may take some time

Hi Johnpope1

I can't see how political influence played a part.

The ruling of the Swedish tribunal upheld an injunction brought by TNK-BP in the London courts to block BP's Arctic exploration deal with the state-owned enterprise Rosneft.

I might have agreed with you if the injunction was overturned in favour of Rosneft. But it wasn't.

Best

David

David stumbled into the world of broadcasting at the turn of the Millennium when he was invited to comment on the stock market crash. He says, “I think I stunned Londoners speechless when I said the good thing about the crash is that shares are now more affordable for people who want to invest in the stock market!”

His attitude to investing has never wavered, as he always sees downturns in the market as a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
