Two friendly doormen are standing outside the entrance. They call you over to talk...
One of the doormen grins and says:

Hello there!

I'm afraid it's too late to do any trading, but you are more than welcome to go on in and check out your final portfolio!

The glass doors slide open invitingly. Looks like you'll need to go through to play...
A newspaper man is shouting incomprehensibly... The news stand is piled high with newspapers. The headlines look intriguing...
