   You leave out some pertinent facts. Where do you live? Are you located near the Russian border, so you can acquire and sell the currency at minimal expense? If you get this from a currency dealer, you will pay a very high markup. In the United States, banks and currency exchange desks at airports charge exorbitant fees and use rip-off exchange rates. You'll be far behind from the get-go. When you sell, you'll be hit hard in the other direction, unless you live close enough to Russia to go there and spend the money easily. So even if the ruble goes up, it must go up enough to overcome the expenses you incur.

   This is a major gamble, with little prospect of an after-expense profit. Especially a profit larger than what you would have made had you simply placed the $ 500 into a money market fund.

   Investing in russian ruble may be a good idea but it is highly speculative and risky as currencies are always fluctuating. In terms of making some money in two years time I think you have a long time frame and a far better way to make money would be value investing in value stock investing. Also as mentioned above investing in Gold and Silver is a very good investment in the current climate and over the last ten years 18% year on year return has been achieved. Please read the links to invesing in gold and silver investing below. The information is free and invaluble.

   Oracle coal fields seems to be a good investment to make with a 2 year view as it is looking to seek a listing on the london stock exchange in the near future, which could be very reqarding for all investors on board.

   Nobody can tell this for sure, even the Russians themselves…
   It depends mainly on price of oil and natural gas: if it go up again — you'll gain, if not — you'll lose. And if the Fed hikes the rate (and it will, sooner or later), dollar will probably go up and ruble down. Anyhow this "investment" looks a lot more like an extremely risky speculation.
