CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company is a provider of mobile cellular communications services in the Russian Federation, Ukraine and certain other CIS countries.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I have seen MBT go from $70 a share to $91 a share in the short. I think this is a stock that will continue to make those turns. I don't see a long-term hold for this in my portfolio.

Russian Wireless is a Toll taker on the Ruble which I believe will outperform the U.S. Dollar because the Ruble is a petro currency.

The war fears in Russia are way overblown... nobody is going to start bombing the worlds #2 oil producer or a country with Nuclear weapons.

Russia by way of it's scarce oil reserves has all the leverage against the West and the Ruble will be stronger than the Euro or the dollar.

perhaps the cheapest wireless companies on earth

Nice fundamentals, and a recent price drop due to Putin's slamming of MTL. This is just a points play for me, I have no real money on the table with this one. Short term momentum is downwards so this pick will probably be in the red for a little while, but I do like to catch a falling knife... they do sometimes bounce real high afterwards. If this stock interests you, check out VIP, which I may also pick shortly for the same reasons.

MBT just broke down out of a huge symmetrical triangle that had been forming for over a year. Alongside Vimpel Communications (VIP), they are the largest Russian telecom company, and are reasonably valued on a fundamental basis. However, after breaking an up-trend that had been in place for about 18 months, the techncials suggest there is a lot of room to the downside - good risk/reward for short play or put options at the 75-75 level...
