    • eldaedhel: @ seppo: I have not found anything anywhere on that Fest NV company. I think they are acquitances of GS anyway, like VIKING.

    • eldaedhel: VIKING is actually a subsidiary of GS. It is shorting the stocks. GS increased its holding to control the stocks and put it down. Let see:)

    • Seppo2: I have asked NOK investor relations about Fest as well. Thanks for Viking - GS connection. I was also suspecting the same with Fest too...

    • Seppo2: I am long NOK, strongly believing in fundamentals. Hopefully this (short term) GS game does not mess up everything.
