Based in Des Moines, Iowa, the company primarily sells annuities. There are ten stocks in the Bunny Portfolio each year. The stock must also be based in the U.S. To be included, a stock must have averaged 25% earnings growth for the past five years, and yet must sell for 12 times recent earnings or less. The S&P declined 13.4% while the Bunny lost 5.2%. Last year, the Bunny beat the index by losing less. I invented the Bunny Portfolio in 1999 and have written about it almost every year since. I call it a candidate for the Bunny Portfolio. Bear in mind that my column results are hypothetical and shouldn’t be confused with results I obtain for clients.

Restricting the price at which Russia can sell its oil will inevitably affect the country’s incentive to pump oil into the market. The higher the market price when compared to the price cap, the higher also will be the incentive for traders to bypass the price cap and sell Russian oil at a price higher than $60 per barrel to willing buyers. Russia has already had to sell its oil at discounted rates, which the West sees as a partial success in its efforts to choke Kremlin’s revenues by refusing to purchase Russian oil. Even though the West has cut down its purchase of Russian oil this year, Russia has been able to [Russia is a major oil producer](https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/russia-remains-indias-top-oil-supplier-for-second-month-in-a-row-in-november/article66250770.ece) that contributes more than 10% of overall global supplies, the West has been wary of imposing sanctions that could cause oil supply from Russia to fall steeply and send oil prices shooting up.
