Well put, Ponce. I’ll shorten that long teaser, thanks.

Badiali’s tease is old stuff. I learned something new from Jess question about Penney Oil Speculator. Gumshoe previously advised though to not post the whole AD to avoid issue about copyright. Just extract the most important clues and ask for comments. Anyway, thanks to Jess and bhuff. It saved time for Gumshoe to sleuth PPY-A.V(Yahoo finance).

Rich, I’m not sure about VKNSF — it could be Vostok Gas, which was separated from Vostok Nafta to be a separate investment in Russian gas, mostly Gazprom shares, or perhaps a pre-splitup version of the company if the transaction hasn’t filtered down to all shares. The prices just about match up for it to be Vostok Gas — Vostok Gas is trading at around 566 Swedish crowns, which is about $94. Could possibly also be the holding company, which includes subsidiaries that seem essentially to be tax management entities — they explain it to a limited degree in the annual report. I know that VNHIF is the pinks sheets ticker for VNIL in Sweden, which is the actual Vostok Nafta fund itself, but the big reorganization has certainly caused some confusion. If you want to be certain, call your broker and figure out the CUSIP or similar number for your holdings, those are more universal than tickers.

What’s the difference between VNHIF which you own and VKNSF (besides the price) which I own. Are not they both Vostok Nafta?

Not really expecting to see an advertisement newsletter on this site such as the post for the Penny Oil Speculator. I don’t think it has it’s place here. We come to this site to see what Gumshoe thinks about these types of newsletters, not to read another one.
