Cat Investor

In 2013 a cat named Orlando beat financial experts in stock-picking. Could you beat him?  Each turn he “rolls the dice” and invests in one of the 6 companies on the market. He also has a big starting advantage! You have access to the news. Read them carefully to understand where the market is going to go!  

INSTRUCTION (Please read!):

Read the news. Make assumptions based on them. Ask the question "Which stock will go up given these news?" Then act! For example, if government wants to buy tablets for schools, that will make the stock of the company connected to it (Twenty Two Electronics) more valuable in the next turn!

Note: there is one news per turn that has no effect on the stocks - it is there just for fun.
