Imperial stock market crash!

Imperial economy smashed to the ground earlier today, with the value of the Imperial Credit in freefall.

But only thanks to the TIE Corporation, with it's own stock on the increase, is the Imperial Navy coping with the recession.

Imperial analysts predict a recovery of our economy in a few weeks. We are mainly suffering from the cost of the Trixian war.

"Did it work?"

"Yes. As the stocks drop, the Imperial Navy will have to increase interest rates on their capital markets in order to draw new investors and prevent current shareholders from dumping their stocks."

"Excellent. Predictions say that interest rates and stock values will end slightly above the old levels within a year's time"

"When that happens, dump our holdings in TIN. We'll make several billions in selling the stocks that we have bought during this period of low prices. And when we sell it all at once, stock prices will drop again, making sure that our direct competitors on the TIN market suffer additional losses."

We are saddened to hear of this crash. And as such, even though we did not start the war, feel respnsible.

We are willing to sell you shares in our Trixite industry http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96945&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

At lower prices than the comman nation, to help make up for the loss.

Due to this news, the RSX has also begun to collapse, with Roania Pharmaceuticals stock sliding down 3 points in the last hour. The Prince has announced that the Roanian economy is in peril of collapsing as well, because RDY, RFC, and Amalgamated Derricks Mines are also begining to lose value.

OOC: If TIN invests capital in that venture, it will worsen the crisis. It would mean exporting his capital to another nation. That means that, since he is 'offering' capital on an international market, the worth of his currency drops. If that happens, less investors will invest their money in stocks that are upheld in TIN currency, because their relative worth will decrease. Ergo: the crisis gets worse.

The best thing to get TIN out of the crisis, is to invest money in his stock markets. If you do this, this means the 'demand' for TIN stocks rises, thus the prices go up. That will eventually restore the trust of investors, and bring the capital markets back to health. And since that is exactly what my Corporation needs in order to dump their stocks (acquired at low price, sold at high price), I sincerely hope you do so :D

Edit:

TIN, I am not turning my back on you. Think of it. I buy a whole load of shares when prices are low. As explained above, that raises the price of your stocks, thus the stock market becomes healthy again. And selling those same stocks when their worth peaks, is something any investor will do. It's simply a matter of buying and selling at the appropriate time, something every single investor on your stock market will do. My current move will help you get out of the current crisis. When stock prices are high again, I sell stocks. That gives me a profit. But, because I sell them when investor trust is high, another investor will be quick to buy those stocks again. In the end, the second 'crisis' that comes to exist when I dump my stocks, will be much smaller than the current one, plus it will last much shorter, since it only concerns the stock package of one single investor (me).

So in the end, I help you get out of one crisis at the expense of suffering a minor 2nd crisis. You get a healthy stock market in the long run, I make a couple of billions. We both win some.

The war did not have as significant of an impact on my nation as it did to my friends, however we have very little extra at this time. We are sorry that we cannot offer financle assistance to our friends.

TIE Corporation stocks have recieved their biggest boost of the year-we've gone up 100 points!

It seems that following the rise of our economy due to the success of Synth Paste, stockholders have gone into a buying frenzy!

shares are through the roof!

We look to a profitable and prosperous future.

"And we're clear."

"So... now we'll be able to BUY the Imperial governments rulings. This nation now belongs to our corporation-they need us to survive."

OOC: Most conservatives I know have a tendancy to be capitalist; the very fact that you have a stock market indicates to me some capitalism is present. You definitely have economic relations with capitalist countries, which is what is important to my operations here :D
