Ladies and Gentlemen of the Outback,

Congratulations! Trading has opened on the Outback Exchange!

First of all, let me encourage everyone to open accounts as soon as possible. You won't want to miss the heady action in the weeks and months to come.

The following listing describes the fifteen new issues open for public trading on the Outback, along with their valuations and preliminary analyses. Please note, the "Top Winner" and "Bottom Loser" shall be highlited in green and red, respectively.

Jesse Troyan (TROY): The equity of your present Diamond and one of your more ostentatiously talented fighters has been the second-most oversubscribed syndication of these first fifteen. Demand has been phenomenal, for all the right reasons: excellent, reliable performance, outstanding performance under pressure, and bullish guidance for the months to come (TROY promises to "Chump Toss" more of you than ever before...)

Initial Public Offering Price: $15.00 per share (0.15 Crowns)

Tareth Thorn (THRN): THRN is one of the Blue Chips, of that there is no question... The stock saw strong demand in small lots, proving that many investors are diversifying their portfolios by placing conservative, "he won't drop off the map" bets on Mr. Thorn's reliable, solid performance record.

Initial Public Offering Price: $13.00 per share (0.13 Crowns)

Anubis Karos (NUBI): NUBI saw significant demand, but nothing near the capital that poured into the top issues; it would appear that investors consider NUBI to be a "small cap" issue, a Red Chip stock so to speak, owing to a murky record. This despite NUBI's recent acquisition of an Opal leads many to believe that NUBI shall prove to be a turnaround story to rival the classics... Only time will tell.

Initial Public Offering Price: $10.00 per share (0.10 Crowns)

Dae Dragonsblade (DRGN): Demand for the DRGN was powerful, with many small lots taken down by security-minded investors diversifying away from concentrated wagers on TROY and the BTCH. DRGN seems to be regarded as a safe and solid bet, a bit more aggressive than THRN, but apparently in the same Opal Blue Chip league.

Initial Public Offering Price: $12.00 per share (0.12 Crowns)

Alexandria Wells (DRAW): This issue saw pitiful demand, completely unexpected for an Opal-class equity. I have no explanation for this, and hope that trading shall even out as time goes on.

Initial Public Offering Price: $8.00 per share (0.08 Crowns)

Dustin (DUST): Gold dust is more like it, with sustained buying driving this issue up from its slow start. DUST closed at $13, neck-in-neck with THRN. Speculation abounds that DUST is close to entering a hyper-growth season, but nay-sayers have shorted the stock (betting it will depreciate in value) on valuation alone, claiming that DUST's performance is overplayed, overestimated, and overblown. Time will tell.

Initial Public Offering Price: $13.00 per share (0.13 Crowns)

Antonio Scarpia (SCAR): SCAR very nearly failed to list, on the basis of accounting issues with the recent DQ wagering pool. In the end, Mr. Scarpia's attorneys supplied adequate documentation for his listing to proceed. Demand was lukewarm at best. After SCAR's thrashing at the DQ, no investor is taking the stock seriously.

Initial Public Offering Price: $9.00 per share (0.09 Crowns)

Avery Shiv Blade (SHIV): Incredibly high hopes have been pinned on SHIV, with investors placing the third-largest wagers on this issue. It would appear that SHIV is expected to shortly overtake TROY and the BTCH in sheer performance... If it doesn't, many investors will be smarting.

Initial Public Offering Price: $14.00 per share (0.14 Crowns)

Bane (BANE): Light demand in small, even lots characterized BANE's trading pattern. Few surprises, fewer expectations. The perfect situation for a real skyrocket, if BANE can perform.

Initial Public Offering Price: $8.00 per share (0.08 Crowns)

Bode (HICK): Silence. Dead silence. This issue barely made the minimum to list at all!

Initial Public Offering Price: $7.00 per share (0.07 Crowns)

Matthew Simon (GOLD): The ultimate Blue Chip performer, with a mind-numbing mountain of career victories and performance as reliable as sunrise, taxes and the disintegration of the American family. Almost a sleeper play, more conservative money went into GOLD even than THRN!

Initial Public Offering Price: $13.50 per share (0.135 Crowns)

Janella Vallonia (BTCH): Far and away the most demanded, most frenziedly oversubscribed syndication... The BTCH is back! With an excellent record, killer instincts and some might say more attitude even than the present Diamond, BTCH seems poised to ride the wave of investor demand all the way to the top of the stock charts.

Initial Public Offering Price: $17.00 per share (0.17 Crowns)

Jake Thrash (GRNT): A quietly played Blue Chip, no one seems to expect a killer season from GRNT. Still, trading was adequate to reach the double-digits.

Initial Public Offering Price: $10.00 per share (0.10 Crowns)

Jaycy Ashleana (RUNT): The only new issue to be actively shorted (bet against) by multiple investors, the RUNT really did diminish in stature on its first day of trading. It is always hard to see a new issue break syndicate on its first day, and this was particularly difficult because of the scorn heaped on RUNT by TROY, SCAR and others. While the stock opened with a downward bias, at least one
investor speculated that RUNT is terribly undervalued, and that they shall be an active buyer at $5.00 per share.

Initial Public Offering Price: $7.00 per share (0.07 Crowns)

Maetel (TIGR): The TIGR experienced slow and steady traded, mirroring the GRNT in more ways than one. Do investors know something I don't know?

Initial Public Offering Price: $10.00 per share (0.10 Crowns)


Yours in service,

Better start buying as many shares in a top notch stock while you people can all still afford it. My stock is going to go through the roof as I Chump Toss all of your pathetic rears around the ring this cycle.

I'd like to congratulate RUNT on being the most pathetic stock ever created. Bravo, midget. Don't worry though, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before NUBI's stock drops like a ton of bricks and falls as far as your puny little shares.
