Isn't Markinson wholly owned by Renard Rouge or am I wrong?

As you all know by now, quite a few companys failed to submit their annual report, these companies will be closed from the NSEX for the time beeing.
These companies have two choices:

1) To submit their annual report now for review be the NSEX technical staff, this may lead to the company beeing re-permitted to trade.

2) To wait until the next quarter (OOC: A few weeks) to submit a new annual report.


(OOC: The companies that failed to submit will only be closed of for a short time, this isn´t permanent)

Weekly stock report

In the NSEX building, it is not the hussle and bussle you´d normally see in a stock exchange, everyone is waiting for the weekly report, with a loud beep, it begins to roll past on some huge screens

Eutopian market this week and forecast.
Assembled by: Nisse Bofink (and staff)

Most companies have seen a slight rise in price this week due to the recent inpour of immigrants, all companies are now racing to get workers.

Raw materials:

We´ve seen a sligt decrease in the price of steel this week, mostly because Bluesteel enterprices refusal to join the NSEX, this is only considered temporary though.

That concludes the weekly stock report.


Everyone is surprised, there should be much more, but it isn´t, then, a new message arrives:

Stand by for updates

TEXTILE SECTOR CRASH

With three non-NSEX registered companies moving abroad, it is a fear that this trend will continue with more companies moving abroad.
We are issuing a All-time-low-warning on Harteu Cotton unlimited.

Thank you for your attention

Zuckergußgebäck Alexander von Maazarin steps up onto the announcement podium:

KCI plc
Langley Broadcasting Corp. + EFL Eutopia City Violators

EUPress

Dear Director von Maazarin,

We will reintroduce these companies back to the exchange on a probationary basis. They will not appear on the regular exchange floor, but may be traded through the NSEX OTC (Over the Counter) division.

However, as you know, without the necessary annual reports we cannot regulate the accuracy of their financial statements and trading shares of such companies could violate Eutopian Securities law. We must make sure, therefore, the the public knows that trading shall be limited and if the necessary information is submitted before the legal deadlines, trading shall continue.

Hopefully your move will spur them into action. It is a bold move, but it shows a brand of leadership we have not had on the exchange before.

Sincerely,

The NSEX Compliance Team

Stock briefing

When people enter the building, they find a stand of free newspapers to the right, these papers are the NSEX internal news
(OOC: Mods, this is just another way of a stock report)

NSEX internal news

Friday

Harteu cotton falling

The steep curve of Haarteu cotton unlimited are not showing any signs of recovery, the companys announcement that they will recuce orders have frightened the share owners to the point that they are selling shares at any price, if this curve cannot be broken, the consequenses will be suvear for the Eutopian economy, as Fredrik Domherre says: "All that we´re lacking now is corruption withing Harteu"

Leading companies issue wanrings: may leave Eutopia

Two main eutopian companies have warned that they may withdraw from Eutopia due to the weak economy, this too sends schockwaves through Eutopian economy.

Special section: an eye on the tobacco

The controversy over the tobacco bill is now getting worser, as unrest spreads, fear among the plantation owners that a strike may erups has lead them to begin searching of foreign strike-breakers, "just in case".
One thing is certain though, and that is that this too will have negative effects.

Editorial

Today, we mourn one of the most prominent figures in Eutopian finance, Mr. Charles Scott Morgan (77), owner of the Gazette was found dead in his villa Casa legno earlier today, despite that his newspaper wasn´t registered on the NSEX, today, there will be a silent minute, trading will stop early today, at 15:00, and out of respect for Mr. Morgan, the NSEX will be closed for the rest of the week.

Thank you.

Zuckergußgebäck Alexander von Maazarin.
NSEX managing director.

On the brighter side, news has beginning to seep in that prominent foreign companies plan to stay in Eutopia, mostly thanks to the better conditions for workers, this brings light into this very, very sad and cloudy day.

*Newsflash*
(Brought to you by Mr. Bofink)

The NSEXs head of management Mr. von Maazarin has been missing from the NSEX for about two weeks now, no word has been heard from him, and we cannot give a satisfactory explanation for his absence for the time beeing.

We expect a drop in both CM and EAL shares because of this.

---

The MILE have closed off airports all over the country for EAL flights, this will nodoubt harm the already plummeting EAL shares even more. We managed to get an inteview with a person who wants to remain anonomous:

- Why is all EAL planes in Eutopia forbidden to take off?
- We cannot answer that for the moment
- Were does that order come from?
- High up
- Can you be more specific?
- Not for the moment, no.
- Have the MILE got any information regarding the whereabouts of Von Maazarin?
- No comments.


---

The industrial sector in Eutopia is falling, most notably due to several non-NSEX companies experiencing manufactoring and production slowdown, although not as serious as previously expected, it is a major blow to several NSEX companies, several Eutopian companies(who to prevent a major stock market crash are not listed here) are highly dependant on these companies, most notably for spares. Invesors are also very worried and we expect a major downwards curve in most companies this month.
