At this time I ask that all investors remain calm and invest with the discretion and prudence for which the present calls. Furthermore, I request of our trading participants that when soliciting investments they do so carefully and appropriately.
Finally, as the market has entered an unstable environment, I stringently demand that everyone involved in our market refrain from spreading rumors or taking part in any other action that could diminish the trust in our market.
Sincerely,
Masaaki Tsuchida
President & Chief Executive Officer
