Sell sell sell! Conflict on Enarc has caused Trade Federation stock value to drop rapidly as speculators fear the fighting will destroy valuable Trade Federation assets before Imperial assessors complete their valuation. The nature of the conflict on Enarc, a major Trade Federation distribution hub, has not been widely publicized.
The Imperial Senate moved to nationalize the Trade Federation last month after years of poor performance and infighting, in hopes that the Empire could succeed where the corporate guild had not. Acting Viceroy of the Trade Federation Sentepeth Findos had assured the Senators that all assets would be turned over to the Empire swiftly and without conflict.
The Senate promised to compensate Trade Federation shareholders with a proportional value of treasury bonds once assessors had completed a valuation of the corporations holdings, and the nationalization process was finalized. This lucrative offer caused the Trade Federation's stock to rise sharply for the first time since the Clone Wars.
This recent turn in events will certainly be make or break for many investors. We at The Corporate Exclusive would like to be the first to congratulate the lucky few speculators with the foresight to have sold at the peak. Enjoy your new Coruscant penthouses, the lot of you.
