Any change for the better is great news. Many experts, however, predict uneven growth, as there are still some unknowns in the world financial arena. It has been often said that Russia's reliance on resources is a problem. There are times when this can be an advantage. In the era of jittery financial markets, real economy, which includes commodities, becomes a more solid investment. In fact, there is a seemingly growing mantra to invest in gold, silver and oil. Stocks have gained, and with a reason. Russia's stocks have been undervalued considerably, so the growth in value is real, and will not be easily shaken by other financial shoes dropping. However, the investment capital is really a blessing and a curse. Blessings are obvious. But at the slightest sign of problem, this capital is volatile, and when it is on a move, it drags real economy down with it.
