woohoo, up another .29! No one wants to join me for a little Borscht and MBT? Maybe a nice Potato Okroshka? These Russain boards are kinda lonely..

Up another .20 today, loving this move

Awww, try to post something in Russian and it changes to ???????? C'mon Ihub, where's the love for Russia? MBT on the move!

???????????? Who's afraid of Russian telecom? Not this trader. Follow the Ruble, money to be made here

Look like a reverse head and shoulders...time to buy again

Up 4.31% today... a green day,,,,. St Patrick's Day...

Trump and Putin will they meet?
And will MBT rise with that meeting?

finally took off, bought pre election!

Dam, I was last person to flip this. Well, back on watch. This a good company

MBT ready to make another rub

Sold MBT today after a nice run, so that I could protect my profits. Back on watch till a pull back in the low $6's

Gapping up nicely pre market

This could see $7 tomorrow

$6.53 resistance gone

Nice follow up day. MBT looking good

$6.17 resistance gone

Check out this chart and the Nasdaq, it's almost the exact same. It moves just like our indices

This one exactly follows the russian ruble and the ruble actually follows oil! If the sanctions fall and oil climbs back this one will skyrocket and meanwhile it's good to trade!

Could see some nice gains today

I see this being chased up tomorrow, i got a good feeling

Balance sheet looks good, chart looks great, peg ratio at -1.35. This company is undervalued and due for some nice short term gains. We could easily be over $7 next week. I played it this exact same type of situation a year ago and made some nice gains

MBT is a good company with solid financials but like all russian stocks it depends on oil!

MBT look like its due for a nice bounce next week

MBT looking good for a nice bounce today

Back on watch for another bounce play

I'm thinking of investing $5000 in this company. Can someone give me a rough estimate how much I would get in dividends, and how often the dividend pays out? Thank you.

This one had a very nice run over the week. Maybe it could reach 9 to 10 again. Russian stocks will run great in near future imo.

Russian sanctions will fall over the next year because of our new enemy, the IS!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so let's welcome our new friend Russia!

Gapping up nice here in the pre market

This looking good for tomorrow

This look like its ready for a nice bounce

AC&M gave the following breakdown of the largest operators' subscriber details for Russia. The figures don't include subscribers of MTS, VimpelCom and MegaFon elsewhere in the former Soviet Union.

MTS and Nokia Enter Strategic Partnership





MOSCOW, June 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mobile TeleSystems OJSC ("MTS" - NYSE: MBT), the largest mobile phone operator in Russia and the CIS, and Nokia signed the memorandum of understanding on the direct delivery of Nokia devices to MTS' retail network. The first joint project of the two companies will be the priority sales launch of Nokia N97, Nokia's flagship mobile computer, equipped with exclusive software from MTS.

The agreement signed by MTS and Nokia at the 2009 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum provides for the direct supply of Nokia products to MTS' retail network, joint marketing campaigns to promote Nokia's handsets and a special training program for MTS' retail employees.

"This partnership agreement with Nokia is a milestone in our development of the MTS proprietary retail network. Teaming up with the world's leading maker of mobile devices will allow us to further differentiate MTS' retail network by matching cutting-edge products with tariff plans to enhance customer experience and spur the growth of data usage by our subscribers," noted Mr. Mikhail Shamolin, President and CEO of MTS.

"Nokia N97 is the flagship product which has no analogues in the world. For the first time in Russia, Nokia is launching such an important device in partnership with the largest mobile phone operator, MTS. Together with MTS, we have developed applications and widgets tailored to the Russian users," noted Mr. Niels Nielsen, Director-General of Nokia in Russia. "The primary difference of N97 from the currently available smartphones is not just the availability of touch display and QWERTY keyboard on one device, but the fact that it is a mobile computer with a range of applications that allow individual customization of the handset."

MTS has developed a number of branded applications for Nokia N97 aimed at business users that will be distributed on a free 2 GB micro-SD memory card. The sales of Nokia N97 will start on June 17 in all MTS stores in Moscow and in the flagship Nokia store. By the end of the month, the device will become available to subscribers of all mobile operators through the MTS retail network in Russia and the 30 Nokia stores in the largest Russian cities.

Mobile TeleSystems OJSC ("MTS") is the largest mobile phone operator in Russia and the CIS. Together with its subsidiaries, the Company services over 93.03 million subscribers. The regions of Russia, as well as Armenia, Belarus, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, in which MTS and its associates and subsidiaries are licensed to provide GSM services, have a total population of more than 230 million.

Additional Developments

- MTS continues to see sustained macroeconomic volatility in its markets of operations that may impact the financial and operational performance throughout the Group.


Commentary

Mr. Mikhail Shamolin, President and CEO of MTS, commented: "In spite of the volatile macroeconomic situation in Russia and the CIS, MTS demonstrated year-over-year revenue growth in national currencies in all of its markets of operation with the exception of Ukraine, where growth dynamics were inline with the market's overall performance. The changes in the foreign exchange rates impacted our US dollar-denominated results that led to a decline in the Company's main US dollar-based financial indicators, however, the stable financial position of MTS allows us to continue to execute on our business development strategy." Mr. Shamolin added, "Despite the slight impact on our operating margins, investments in our next-generation network infrastructure and proprietary distribution provide MTS with a solid foundation for future growth. The financial standing of the company remains our priority as our strong balance sheet allows us to attract additional financing, including our recent syndicate loan and ruble bond placements, and provides possibilities to create additional shareholder value, such as our recommended payout of 60% of net income as a shareholder return for 2008."
