Financiëele Omroep Tikker
Financial Broadcasting Ticker

Financiëele Omroep Tikker, or FOT, was launched in 1877 to provide telegram services to the stock market and merchants of Vrijpoort. The speed of accurate information has always been crucial to businesses and financiers who rely on knowledge and information that enable smart and lucrative decision making that can be enacted before the competition. Before Vrijpoort was linked to Scania and Gallo-Germania with undersea telegraph cables, small messenger ships would wait in the harbour for returning merchant and mail ships. Upon sighting of the mail ship a cannon would be set off to alert the city of the arrival of fresh news. The savviest trading houses would send out small boats to collect their post first in order to get a head start on those who waited for the mail ship to dock.

Today FOT is a modern news agency with offices around the world and reporters in every major financial city. FOT is primarily focused on gathering business and markets news and distributing it rapidly to news agencies and companies. Subscribers to the Silvertec Terminal automatically have FOT embedded in their system.

Examples of news broadcast by FOT are:

  • Announcements from major companies
  • Central bank interest rate adjustments & monetary policy announcements
  • Quarterly earnings reports from publicly traded companies
  • News that directly affects the costs of major commodities (oil, gas, gold, copper, iron ore, platinum, wheat, soya, maize, etc.)
  • Daily updates from global stock exchanges and bourses (change on day prior for indexes, current intraday prices for stocks, etc.)
  • Company strategy announcements such as mergers & acquisitions, expansions, contractions, IPOs, share buybacks, share issuance, etc.

Posts are made by a variety of sources such as companies, central banks, ratings agencies, analysis firms, trading firms, banks, etc. This is first and secondhand information announced from or very near the source before it reaches the news agencies. Posts are made with a handle belonging to the source and are also accompanied with a colour level to inform press agencies of the relative importance of the news item. Colour levels are green, yellow, orange and red. Posts are typically only a few short sentences in length.

FOT is headquartered in Vrijpoort and adheres to full freedom of the press as guaranteed by the Vrijpoort Basic Charter. Revenue is made up of modest subscription fees that provide instant news delivery to the subscriber. Otherwise all news is published free of charge twice a day at 8.00 and 18.00 Vrijpoort Standard Time.

NEWS LEVEL: YELLOW

(Sandhavn) Standard Mines reported output 30% lower in April at its two copper mines in the Dune Sea citing an increase in gang attacks on roads and communities where its miners live. The company lost an entire truckload of copper sheets last month after a caravan was raided by armed gangs. The Dune Sea and Natal are home to 23% of the world's copper reserves, a crucial material for industry and electronics. Copper prices have been trading higher this year.

NedFoods
@NedFoods
NEWS LEVEL: GREEN

(Uitkijk) NedFoods announces that it has instructed its legal and business teams to discuss joint venture opportunities with local Hesperian agriculture cooperatives and businesses in order to put together a feasibility plan for large-scale agribusiness in Hesperia. The JV would allow NedFoods to source food from Hesperian farmlands for both domestic processed food production as well as export. Due to underlying legal conditions in Hesperia such a project is likely to require partnership with local Hesperian companies and possibly approval from Alliança. If a deal can be reached, NedFoods expects not only many farming jobs, but also the construction of multiple food processing plants in Hesperia.

Vrijpoort Securities Exchange
@VrijSecX
NEWS LEVEL: RED

(Vrijpoort) Friday trading was halted for one hour by an auto-stop algorithm after a drop of over 7% on the world's largest stock exchange. Traders have been spooked by continued geopolitical tensions, specifically regarding the ODS-Rurikgrad 'decoupling' and rumours that the ODS and DDI will band together in an economic alliance against Rurikgrad Pact countries. Long Sea Crude prices also spiked on the Vrijpoort Commodities Exchange due to the deteriorating situation in Pelasgia and the unlikelihood that Azraq production will be able to make up for the Pelasgian oil in the short-term, adding to trader woes. Trading resumed for half an hour before the 16.00 closing bell. Analysts expect a further red day of trading at the 10.00 opening bell on Monday. Despite the market turmoil, many Nedernesian large caps listed on the Vrijdex (top 50 publicly listed companies) are announcing overseas expansion plans and intend to buy foreign shares that are trading significantly below market value from just a month ago. Vrijdex futures are down 4%.

(Vrijpoort) Clever firms and some governments are avoiding potential ODS sanctions on purchasing oil from Kadikistan by buying oil on the Vrijpoort Commodities Exchange, even if the origin of the oil is Kadikistan. Further, the large refinery and petrochemicals industry in Nedernesia is allowing oil & petroleum product traders on De Waterkant to sell products with a 'new' origin of Nedernesia. Despite this relatively easy loophole, instability in Pelasgia continues to drive up prices for Long Sea Crude.

Buy 'n Large
@BuynLarge
NEWS LEVEL: GREEN

(Vrijpoort) As Ostmark rapidly opens its economy to global markets, Buy 'n Large today announced intentions to open its first Hypermart on the outskirts of Wien, the capital. Buy 'n Large hypermarts are known for their endless choices of any good imaginable, from daily grocery staples to fancy electronics. Buy 'n Large's spokesperson said that due to the unique Ostmark market and low disposable income, the Wien hypermart will have a unique line of goods tailored to the new market. For now BNL will not be able to offer its signature buynlarge.com online shopping experience as not enough residents of Ostmark have reliable internet or experience shopping online, not to mention the country lacks a sophisticated consumer goods warehouse and logistics infrastructure. This is something the firm hopes to change in the coming years.

(Vrijpoort) - Publicly disclosed documents from VrijTel confirm that the telecom company has applied for operating licenses in Ostmark. The company plans to build hundreds of mobile phone towers across the country, starting with major cities. Owners of medium and high rise buildings are being approached as putting towers atop them would save both time and money. The telecom company hopes to quickly capture market share by offering far-reaching and stable mobile network connections as well as cheap entry-level smartphones and flexible contracts. A major radio, print and television advert campaign has already begun in Wien.

(Vrijpoort) - Construction and environmental permits for the planned Emerald Straits Tunnel-Bridge that will connect Vrijpoort to Vistarika were approved early this morning by a joint commission of the Land Transport Authority and Maritime Vrijpoort, the marine affairs ministry. The government agencies were pleased with plans to ensure uninterrupted strait and harbour traffic for continued access to one of the world's busiest container ports in Vrijpoort. Despite massive construction and even the creation of a small artificial island in the straits, the joint project by the Standard Group and its Vistarikan partner Jupiter Industries was able to assuage concerns of operational impact. An environmental study on the effects of the massive infrastructure project on the ecosystem of the straits is expected to be completed in the coming weeks. Meanwhile the joint venture is still awaiting regulatory approval from the Vistarikan authorities. Boris Titov, billionaire owner of the Standard Group, said that he is 'confident' that Vistarika will approve the project and see the long-term benefits that the tunnel-bridge will bring. Futures of Standard Heavy Industries (VSE: STNH) are trading up in Vrijpoort as are those of Jupiter.

(Vrijpoort) - Skyport N.V., the publicly traded airport operator of Vrijpoort Transcontinental Skyport, is reportedly preparing an offer to receive a long-term concession to operate major airports in Csegnia, including Kispest and Pressburg. If the concessions are granted this would be the first time that Skyport manages airports outside of the Vrijpoort Dominion. Analysts estimate the value of the airport concessions for Kispest and Pressburg alone to be worth trillions of florins over the coming years. The concessions are still subject to governmental approval in Csegnia.

(Vrijpoort) - One of the continent's largest conglomerates, Meridian Heavy Industries (MHI), has rekindled interest in constructing a tunnel-bridge connecting Vrijpoort's Revonia Island with Ebria. The collossal infrastructure project would link two massive economies with a land route, potentially resulting in a major economic boom not just in Vrijpoort and eastern Ebria, but the entire immediate region. Some economists, dusting off old projections from the last time this project was seriously discussed, predict the creation of a Greater Emerald Strait Area, stretching from Ebria, Vrijpoort, Thalgau/Westmark, southern Csengia and into northwestern Rheinbund. Maritime traffic through the straits would be unimpeded by half the connection being a tunnel. Revonia Island, off the west coast of mainland Vrijpoort, is where the majority of the population lives, although the citystate spans across the harbour. The island has been connected to the mainland for many years with a series of bridges and tunnels. Such a venture would require the collaboration between and likely subsidies from the Vrijpoort and Ebrian governments, neither of which MHI has officially contacted yet. Overseas Cooperation and Relations Vrijpoort did not respond to a request for comment.

We are a construction company specialised in the construction of tunnels and bridges. We were the company that built all the tunnels through the Tirolsteiner Alpen, and also constructed many valley bridges in the Rheinbund and the bridge connecting Rügen with the continent. Building a land connection between Ebria and Vrijpoort like you suggested would be a very interesting project in which we can offer valuable know-how and also construction capacity.
