Assets (Golden Rainbow)

i'm new to game and need some help
i currently have 18 corp's "they were already set up when i started"
i see my assets value has dropped signicantly into the negative now and not sure why as i haven't touched corporations atm as trying to figure how to run them as well

also should i try to become part of common market?..does it help?

thnx

Counrty and world?

The name Harbringer rings a bell somewhere...

Market value of existing corporations will always drop when a player takes over a country from the computer. Computer controlled countries cheat and market value becomes artificially high. When the player takes over the cheating stops and market value drops.

P/E is based on earnings vs. market value. Either drop the market value or increase earnings. To perform an IPO you only need to meet two of three criteria:
1. Market value over 175B
2. Assets of 80B or more
3. P/E of 12 or less

Assets can be increased to the required level by buying large quantities of supplies, transferring cash in, and withholding some production from the market. On the corporation's page, go to the bottom and click "reserve part of your monthly production." Then you can specify how many units the corporation will hold on to.

Thanks Lolosuraus that actulay answered some things for me too
