Commodities and War Concerns Weighing Down RSX

The Georgia matter will drag out, but eventually be resolved when Russia decides they have adequately taught everyone a lesson. Russia has been more than happy to let this "crisis" evolve into a chess game and see themselves playing the upper hand (which, in reality, they are). The political environment will slide back into cruise-control and the matter will become yet another footnote in history. The "West" has a short memory.

However, from an investment point-of-view, perhaps this would be an opportune moment in time to consider incrementally increasing stakes in RSX. Unless, of course, you believe that gas and oil has much further to fall. After all, Europe still awakens each day as long-term customers of Russian gas and oil. Even short-term political acrimony won't do much to affect that.
