buys any share whose company owns a permanent train
starting with the cheapest (in stock market order) and trying to differentiate

London, 06 October 2006
The Priority Card goes to Fred. Please note that the NN does not go up even if fully sold (companies in building status do not benefit of this bonus). - Revenue from political cards is paid: Jon (0), Fred (25), Ale (45), Davide (40), Lucio (50) [therefore Lucio is winning, everyone against Lucio.. an old joke..] - Now we will have two operating rounds: the first company to operate is the FB (Fred), followed by LTF (Ale), FST (Jon) and NN (Jon)
====================================
London, 04 October 2006
While pleased for the fact that the NN went sold out, KIng Ferdinand II looked very disappointed for the launch of a railroad along the Adriatic cost that could potentially collect all the freight traffic from the North down to the Southern ports where the goods are then shipped to the Far East. Such a railroad will in fact diminish the importance of the Bourbon kingdom capital, Napoli.
Consequently, King Ferdinand II invites brave enterpreneurs to bid for a new railroad that starting from Salerno will reach the Southern Adriatic ports, the so called FST. The goods will transit through Naples via the NN railroad or arrive via ships to Salerno port and from there will make their way to Taranto port.
The famigerate british baron J. Draper having seen a clear business opportunity has now taken over the ambitious project.
====================================
London, 27 September 2006
Three companies are launched: the NN, the FB and the LTF. Traders in the market go crazy for acquiring the latest available cheap and promising NN shares...
====================================
London, 23 September 2006
Negotiations for exchanging political #5 are unconclusive. Political card #3 is bought by Davide for 95. The seating order is decided based on the cash left in hand and the first stock round begins. Jon is the first to move.
====================================
London, 19 September 2006
The three higher political cards are bought at nominal value. More competition for political cards #1 and #5 instead. Lucio ends up with two certificates but he is also short of cash now. A new auction is launched for card #3
====================================
