Dear Laura,
I made the mistake of investing all my money in the Grendel Hide industry before it went bust. Now I am penniless and destitute! The bank took my gadgets, and I have been evicted from my house. I have been sleeping in an airlock for three days, not exactly the safest place, and once I had to eat a Hoppity because there was nothing else. How do I win my fortune back?

Dear Investor Nettin,
Sadly, the Ark's economy is unstable. Stocks in machinery are likely to fluctuate whenever new agents are injected and shares in cheese can?t last forever, especially if you?re feeling peckish. The market for upholstery is no exception. It appears that the Grendel-Hide couches were mass-produced, in order to meet the overwhelming demand... before it was realised that few creatures can afford to live in such comfort. Let this be a valuable lesson to us all. Don?t lose heart though; just stick to what you know best, gadget hoarding, and you?ll soon regain your fortune. In the meantime, I?d vacate the airlock and find a safer place to sleep. I?m sure the Desert Terrarium has a discarded couch that you can occupy!
