Err... from what I read in
MA balance sheet the reason they see an overall decrees in assets (hence a decrease in Owners equity which is the only thing an investor cares about) is due to the large amount of capital held in USD.
Because this value is now falling there overall assets are falling.
The change in the USD really has very little net effect on there sales.
For all the us players 1 USD = 10 PED... and it always will be
For me as a Canadian 1
CND = aprox 10 PED... where as in the past it would have been closer to 9 PED.
So if I put 1 USD in to the game now, where as before I was only putting 0.90 USD into the game,
MA assets are actually increasing at a faster rate now then they were then.
I think what most people miss is that
MA are not actually money traders... your banks and CC companies are.
The big difference again is with the amount of real assets they hold in USD.
Right now since the dollar is week vs. the SEK there balance sheet looks pretty bad... however if they hold there current investment until the dollar improves then the balance sheet will in fact show a huge improvement, (and the CEO can expect a nice little bonus) when in all actuality in real terms there has be absolutely no change to the company.
Just my 2 PEC
