We interrupt your program to bring you breaking news...



We interrupt your program to bring you breaking news on the updates of the financial world of epic proportions. This is BUNT you're watching, Breaking Unicycling News Tonight and I'm Awe Range, your anchor for tonight.

There has been a change in company Orange fortunes as a spate of events have cost them to lose consecutive previous games, causing stock prices to plunge horrendously. Investor confidence has dipped and already people are selling Orange stocks in favor of the World (tm) stocks. The World (tm) stocks have been hot favorites as they rise, owing to the imports of new rising stars such as Yihao and the such.

We now have financial analyst, Wurl T. Em to update us on the latest changes in the financial world of unicycling. Wurl, please.



Thank you Awe. I'm Wurl, and I shall give a brief outline of Orange's previous performance in the past.

As you can see on this spreadsheet, the Orange company, a mega-conglomerate investing in a wide variety of products such as a unicycling team, tropical citrus fruit produce, citric fruit juices and the entire county of Florida, has been on a roll about 4 weeks prior. Then, a sudden dip in their fortunes caused their stock prices to dip and fall faster than any firm has done before. Even before Orange got listed, they were only a mere piddling firm that was struggling to hold its stand against other firms, such as the World (tm) company, which has established itself longer than Orange. Orange has then since seen the fastest growth and now we see it experiencing the fastest dip. We interview an Orange spokesperson about why Orange is experiencing this unprecedented crisis.

"Um. We blame rising oil prices, we blame the war in Iraq. We blame the hole in the ozone layer and we blame global warming. Thank you."

Orange stock prices have dropped from a previous record high of SGD$73.20 to a whole new low of SGD$13.50, over the course of 3 weeks. However, Orange's luck is about to change. We cue to the stock exchange brokery and let us sadistically enjoy the torment of Orange's brokers for a while.



As you can see, they all look very worried and depressed. Poor things.



Orange's stock prices have just risen due to the current win of 4:2 over the World(tm), a rival team, in the 19/07/06 match. At first prospects seem rocky as Orange leads by a goal of 1:0 but the World(tm) quickly makes its presence felt by evening the scores. The first half ended at a score of 3:2, only a marginal win of 1 goal. However trading times still have about an hour or so and more changes await.

The second half proved fruitful for Orange as another goal puts more distance between them and their competitors. The slow but steady rise in investors confidence resulted in a holding of stocks of Orange instead of the previous panic selling of Orange stocks in favor of its competitors. Stock prices too slowly rose by SGD$1.20, a whole 0.4 percent growth for the Orange firm! This slow recovery is a good sign.

Trading ended at a score of 4:2 with Orange emerging victor and a whole new rise in its stock prices.

Analysts believe that the teamwork of Darren, Jolyon and Kailun and even Andrew has led Orange to pull through the crisis that they were facing, averting it and turning it into a windfall, albeit a small one, but hey, still one.

Let us cue once again to the previously worried brokers.



This bodes a good day for Orange brokers and investors as the news of the rise of Orange's stock prices is released.

And back to you, Awe.



Thank you Wurl. That sure was informative. However whether Orange can retain its progress remains to be seen.

And that concludes the end of our news bulletin. Thank you for watching BUNT. If we tell you it, you probably don't need to hear it.
