Intergalactic Summit

Interesting. If more corporations hired financial officers to produce such statements, perhaps some of my ambitions regarding a financial sector would bear fruit and be more workable.

With our newfound operational policies, we seek to increase transparency of our economic operations in the cluster. We firmly believe this will prove beneficial in the long-term, both for ourselves and for those interested in conducting business with us in the future. May the path for all of us be prosperous and innovative.

We'll be in touch.

As an investor in Grey Steel I have been quite satisfied with the progress made so far. Well done, I-RED

I mean nothing more than that you are displaying your assets in a very public forum, sir. I have far too much respect for your corporation and your parent organisation to be truly contentious.

Honestly, the bad old days are over. Patriots and Liberals don't have to be at each other's throats anymore.

I may even invest in Grey Steel. Give myself a reason to celebrate Ishukone success.

You are aware that most, if not all of the eight conduct some kind of trade with the Federation. This includes mutual investments. The low-security proxy war does not change this fact. I dare say that your State is far different then the real State.

Economic isolation is a recipe for disaster.

Well, lets analyse this part more seriously.

- Dividend Payout / Republic Aligned Corporations: 0.00 ISK (0.0 Million)
This is actually expectable. Who would want to deal with such untrustworthy business partners?

- Dividend Payout / Empire Aligned Corporations: 0.00 ISK (0.0 Million)
The Amarr Empire is #1 trade and military ally to the State. It should really be suspicious they don't deal with them, especially taking into account that the Empire is the largest faction

But then look further, whom they decide to deal with instead of our best trade partner?... With Federation. They accept Federal investment, not neutral, not Amarr, and just tiny amount of State aligned corporations. Actually, it would be interesting to know, which of "State Aligned" corporations have supported them? It might turn out that investments could came just from their own pockets and they just tried to represent it as 'State' investment, while it could be 100% Federal venue. Well, of course it is just a hypothesis, but I won't be surprised if it turned out this way. If Provists would still be in power, they could have launched investigations and followed all the threads. But as they are gone, we, citizens of the State, should ourselves root out rotten trees from our forest.


Lord Tash-Murkon. The trade relationship between the State and Federation was quite extensive before YC110. After Caldari Prime was liberated and Gallenteans started their invasion into Black Rise, our corporations started to tear away ties with the enemy. Even such liberal corporation as Hyasyoda was walking together with the rest of the State. When I was a young pilot, I have worked a lot for Hyasyoda's security arm - the Corporate Police Force. And despite they were in the opposition to the Executor, they have still backed his actions and were together with the rest of the State, aware of gallentean threat. The only mega that was still dealing with the enemy was the Ishukone, who started to distance themselves from the rest of the State under Reppola's rule. After some of their conspiracies were uncovered, including infamous deal with prisoners, when Ishukonites were buying out their own people from Federation, leaving the rest to rot in the prison, I myself decided to never work on any of liberals myself. I don't think Hyasyoda had to do anything with Ishukone treacherous behavior, but I decided to follow their own motto - 'only the paranoid survive'. So I've severed our ties.

And now, returning to I-RED, their behavior looks even more bizzare than Reppola himself could commit. I am not going to recite what they have done in the past, but just look at their investment table.

The numbers speak for themselves. I-RCB in majority is a Federal controlled corporation.

Capital investment amongst capsuleers is such an undeveloped baby. It's not even a baby, it's a fetus. I'm guessing this company has less than two dozen investors, and that's probably more than most capsuleer companies. The fact is, there is almost no open trading of securities/equities. So I wouldn't read too much into this statistic, due to the small sampling size. I doubt that Ishukone is rejecting all Matari investors, I think it's much more likely that this is anomalistic due to a small sampling of investors.

Same goes with the Amarr. It's not suspicious at all, it's quite likely that Amarrian and Matari investors simply haven't been in the mix due to the niche, private nature of capsuleer corporate investing.

A trustworthy reputation is worth more then a few billion isk. I, along with our board of directors don't plan on tarnishing the Ishuk-Raata Brand, of that I can promise the interstellar community. You can be assured this is a legitimate practice.

We do have investments abroad. So there are others who commit to such practices as we do, they are just less prolific.
