December Board Update

Hello and happy new year to our beloved shareholders. With the coming year, our primary goal is to reach new heights, for a successful 2021. And as we all know, a pillar of success is buying yachts and doing frivolous things on them, another key goal for 2021. Ignorance is blissful but information is power Far removed from the physical and mental concerns of the lower class, our moneyed friends occasionally gather in swell environments to network and discuss the matters of the masters, while consuming recreational substances. We wanted to integrate a representation of this fascinating ritual of sociological interest. But dont think its all fun and games. Important information is shared and secret deals are made in those places.
When nothing goes right, go left. Funneling whats trickling down Capitalism has a tendency to favor those who are already established. Once you are rich enough, well let you access a *re-distributive* feature of modern finance: dividends. You give money to a company, and they regularly give you a little less money in return. If you maintain your positions well, after some time, youll be out of work but youll still get paid just because you own those pieces of privatized power we call shares. This is trickle-down economics. You just have to make sure it stops trickling down at your level.
If you made a cent for every manufactured bullet, well thatd just be bad cause war is not cool. See you next month!

Congrats on your new job! Welcome to the first-person world of a mid-level stockbroker, as you begin your very first day at the trading firm FERIOS. You’ve probably wanted this job since you were six, right? Well, so have a lot of people… so you'll have to fight for it and prove that you're the top dog for the job!

Just remember: profit is all that matters, the rules don’t apply if you’re a winner, and only losers feel guilty for the pain, loss and poverty that are the unfortunate but unavoidable by-product of the critical and important work we do here.

It’s simple: your job is to make money for FERIOS. Buy the stocks going up, sell before they go down. Short the ones that are going to fall (or the ones you’re going to make fall). The more money you make, the bigger your commission. And you want that commission, don't you? Well don’t worry, the rewards are limitless, if you’re hungry enough.

If you’re really smart, you’ll find ways to influence the market to your advantage. Think you can lobby an influential group to affect the market? Do it. Get an opportunity to acquire majority shares to move the needle? Take it. Drive down the currency of a foreign country to improve the margins of the companies that import their products? Why not? The only consequences that matter are the ones that impact our bottom line.

Every Joe Schmo has access to the regular news. If you want to get ahead of the spikes and crashes you’ll need to find the inside line from more, shall we say, “exclusive” sources. And definitely don’t let those rumors of a financial investigation get you down. No one employed by FERIOS has ever been found guilty!

We’re one big happy team here at Ferios and nothing brings the team together like competition. So in the spirit of togetherness you better meet your daily profit targets and beat your coworkers’ results if you want to keep your job. We won’t hesitate to fire anyone who can’t or won’t do what it takes to succeed...

The fruits of success are yours for the taking. Fast cars, lavish parties, fancy apartments filled with beautiful furniture and artworks. Of course, for any truly successful trader, work is its own reward and their true home is the office so it’s a good thing you can decorate your desk with photos of all your wonderful things to remind you they exist.
