THE PROTECTOR: Business Report CROMWELL STOCK DROPS

Cromwell’s stock has dropped to 392 thanks to the news that Nosferatu is negotiating a stake in Block 77. "Any gain by Nosferatu will be at the expense of Cromwell," says Giles Winterbourne, noted industry analyst. "Norferatu is essentially part of Shavia Incorporated, the united front which the Central European country of Shavia presents in its dealings with the outside world, uniting industrial, banking and commercial interests and backing them with the Shavian government's economic and diplomatic muscle." This could spell danger for already weakening Cromwell.
