"Material Banknote Order Reinstated"
Another hint?
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 7, 2012) - Fortress Paper Ltd. ("Fortress Paper" or the "Corporation") (TSX:FTP), announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Landqart AG, a leading manufacturer of banknote and security papers, has had a material banknote order reinstated. This order was unexpectedly suspended in the fourth quarter of 2011 which negatively impacted the financial results of Landqart's operations in the first half of 2012.
Chadwick Wasilenkoff, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Fortress Paper, commented, "The recommencement of this previously delayed order will provide Landqart with momentum to realize additional orders and maximize operating efficiencies. This important order allows Landqart to better optimize the overall mill and should provide a meaningful contribution to its margins compared to recent quarters."
About Fortress Paper
Fortress Paper operates internationally in three distinct business segments: dissolving pulp, specialty papers and security paper products. The Company operates its dissolving pulp business at the Fortress Specialty Cellulose Mill located in Canada which is also in the process of expanding into the renewable energy generation sector with the construction of a cogeneration facility. The Company operates its specialty papers business at the Dresden Mill located in Germany, where it is a leading international producer of specialty non-woven wallpaper base products. The Company operates its security paper products business at the Landqart Mill located in Switzerland, where it produces banknote, passport, visa and other brand protection and security papers, and at its Fortress Optical Facility located in Canada, where it manufacturers optically variable thin film material.
Well, if the chart of De La Rue is any indication of how banknote printers respond to potential European disintegration, it just may be that the best hedge to a VIX soaring to 80, aka "disorderly Grexit" as explained earlier by Citi, just may be TSX:FTP.
In the meantime, here is the swiss-security-paper complex of Lanqart:

it says that the order was suspended in the fouth quarter of 2011.
The rumors about new bankotes during that time were the new Deutschmarks!
That would make sense as the easiest way out of the Euro is for Germany to leave and then the remaining Euro participants can Ctrl-P to infinity.

LandQart's Deutchmark: The Choice of a New Generation (TM)
To conclusively prove that the germans have a sense of humor, the paper will be extra rough, to teach the Greeks why wiping with Euros is better than with Dreckmas.
If we're gonna wipe with it, at least make it count by putting new faces on the bills. Start with Obama, Rumproy, Erkel, Stirkrazy, etc. Add in a Buffaloso, Geethner, and a Berspankme or two for shits and giggles...
Doubt it's the new, new Deutsche mark. Germany would keep that printing at home.
It's the new dollar, with Banana Ben's face!

unlike America, which only, usually fucks far away places, so the blowback is not felt locally (except MeheeKo, but you need those immigrantes), Germany does not have that luxury.
And will they suddenly collpase the relaxed Visa rules too? How?
There is no uni-lateral solution to the Euro Crisis. And the olympics MUST happen.

Yes, save the trees.
We could trade with sea shells... or something...
I guess there are a few anti-environment, pro-paper types out there..

Without sound national economic management and a gold backed currency, a lot of poor trees will fall.
And what are the odds of that in Greece?

Hey,
You're right !
Forget investing in ink. The amount of printing needed will require FORESTS!!
Buy Boise-Cascade.
Nice: http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2012/6/8_London_Trader_-_Staggering_515_Tons_of_Gold_Sold_in_4_Hours.html your gonna need a lot of paper!
“Hemp is often used instead of wood pulp.”
Hmm.. I’ve heard it said that printing fiat is a way to take paper and ink produce something that worth less than either.
Hemp could provide a way of changing that little fact..
a new meaning to have your savings go up in smoke.
Now what could you put in the ink?
Tender Helping Care in every batch. Plenty Of That to go around...
Now you're smoking Drachmas!
They have perfected the new time release ink. Every 3 weeks another zero appears on the notes.
You use hemp with linen to make the notes last longer. If the stuff is viewed as disposable, you can just use whatever paper you got lying around ...
Exactly. Drachmas will be printed on old newspaper, on one side only to save ink.
How fitting. Up in smoke.
Not sure how growing trees and storing carbon in paper format while planting more trees to keep the cycle going is "anti-environment"...
Save a tree. Buy silver.
manthong, yes, greece cut theirs years ago for the battle of marathon, this shall be ours.
"Where are the environmental whackos...?"

Thew USG does not use foreign printers. All dollar notes are made by the BEP itself on 14th street in Washington DC, and one satellite location.
This banknote order could be Euros. The ECB, or one of the NCB's could be preparing for a BANK RUN.
Hey, maybe they're gonna print the New World Currency.
Huh? Neither of you two make any sense ...
here, you fuking asswipe! stick with tyler's brand of friday afternoon humor if you prefer something to make sense:

I'm here, what you need punk?
The pulp plant is in Canada - the boreal forest is being stripped to get at the shale.
the composition of most notes is 75% cotton, and 25% linen. No tree involved.
I doubt that the Greeks would be buying 100% "rag" paper from a German company. An average "run" of specialized paper at a papermill is 100,000 lbs at a minimum. Looks like Deutchmarks to me.
So they'd need two runs of paper to print enough Drachs to buy one?
sounds good...
Can't they use wooden beads or something? That must be cheaper...
Let's look at the pros and cons of your suggestion.
Con: Harder to wipe with wooden beads then paper
Pro: Reusable!
Corn cobs - the original fiat. It's old-school though. You can only grow so many cobs per year, which needlessly limits the inflation rate.
Drachmas would be printed on something much cheaper, like old newspaper.

These ads are right, in so far as many American Jews have the good sense to know that the Israeli goverment doesn't represent their interests.
As for the American Jews who haven't yet figured that out, hey, we have our share of American fundamentalist Christians and even some American fundamentalist Muslims, too, most of whom see nothing wrong with the idea of a government constructed solely of, and making rules based on the religious laws of, God's chosen people. It just happens that they don't agree on who the chosen people are.
They don't want any divided loyalties when TSHTF. They are worried another Holocaust might be coming after the collapse, when the truth about 9/11, the banking system, and Israel's plans for their #1 puppet state will become widely known.
Absolutely. When no one will pledge their gold, which most likely requires relocation to Berlin, the Germans will bolt and leave the steaming pile of debt behind. Form a Northern Europe alliance, with Russia and China, and all is good.
Recap their banks with new Deutschmarks, and they'll be the only Euro country with an AAA rating. Then Ben will be forced to recap everyone left behind, and the Germans will have won WW III without a shot.
Form a Northern Europe alliance, with Russia and China, and all is good.
Yes, correct. Thanks for seeing it.
But I doubt WWIII will be won without a shot. America's leaders will go crazy when their USD ponzi scheme finally collapses (after 50 years looting the rest of the world with it). They'll threaten all out nuclear attack on the asian alliance countries for destroying their USD ponzi scheme, but the asian alliance countries will call their bluff and (gladly) push the buttons ...and they have lots more buttons to push than we do.
If Germany leaves then all of their debt they own from the rest of the Eurozone will still be repaid in Euros. Handing the rest of profligate Europe the keys to the printing press doesn't help them. Kicking the rest of Europe out of the Euro doesn't help them.
Everyone needs to face the facts - debt is worthless with no collateral and there is no collateral! No one is getting repaid because there is nothing to repay with other than little worthless chits of paper.
"debt is worthless with no collateral"
"Now, I didn't mean to be nosyBut I went into a bank
To get some bail for Arab
And all the boys back in the tank
They asked me for some collateral
And I pulled down my pants
They threw me in the alley..."

interesting, and all the rest will be weimarized and payoff their debt in euros
As was the Greek re-introduction of the Drachma, no?
There were stories about both.
I believe the Amero and silver backed peso was earlier than that. Paper folly for paper fools.
Don't the Germans have their own printing presses?
yes, the Bundesdruckerei in Berlin... interesting bit is that they also printed some of the "Y" coded greek Euros....
edit: they actually have two! another one in Munich.
Germans would pick up the tab for the new drachmas. The Greeks can't afford their own paper and the Germans don't want to further em-bare-ass them by using German presses.
Good guess, but it could be something entirely unexpected.
Berlusconi?
Either way, this can't be good.
I'll celebrate by buying 100 shares of that EU-related short ETF.
But weren't there also rumours before that to the effect that DM notes were already in existence and being kept in a secret location? I can't quite remember where – was it Aachen? That would make sense as it is the ancient capital of the holy Roman Empire.
so...what medium of exchange does this company insist that they get paid for their services with? gold? silver? food? land? oil?
Certificates for shares of GLD...?
Wrong mill. The GLD certificates are printed by Post-It, on yellow 2x2 tabs.
Perhaps Banzia, hedge, or Cog can post a pic of one of them.
Don't squeeze the banknotes!

... or what % won't admit it.
that would be 99%
Same goes for your moniker.
Ahh yes, good old Mr. Whipple.
I wonder what % of ZHers have no idea what that reference is...
Please enlighten us, unless you want to play smartass.
Remember Mr. Whipple in ecstacy as he squeezes the 'Charmin' toilet paper?
And Mister Whipple's stock boy now has his own TV show:

Yeah, it's kinda creepy when you think about it.
He's doing it for the LULZ.
You owe me interest on my LULZ, bruv and I dont forgive.
I'm not aware of signing any such contract.
You should have read the small print. Replying to my posts implies your agreement to the contract :)
Please enlighten us,
You're kidding, right? It was just a remark about the age distribution here. The "don't squeeze the Charmin" commercials are 30+ years old. Back when one had to stand up to change the channel on the tele.
Just a little hat-tip to us geezers born before 1980. Didn't realize it would spawn a xanax-withdrawal fit.
They hate us because we had better TV back then. Hell, people smoked live on TV and Dean Martin came on live camera drunk off his ass.
[ahem] well that's what they tell me. I was not even born yet. [coff]
i always figured you for a very young cougar...

Not all of us here are "US citizens" even if born before 1980.
This is why I agree with AnAnonymous; US citizens nature is eternal ... (Say that in Chinese accent and its well funny!)
I'm not a US citizen. As Barney would say, "imagine that!"
Barney?
Okay ... did a google :)
I'm not a US citizen.
Ok then, tell us why do you hate Americans?
When did I say I hate Americans?
Is it because of their freedoms?
When did I say I hate Americans?
Well ... US citizens always say "they hate us" but never specified who they were, so I just asked.
" I want my Maypo".
how far back can you go.

If we squeeze the bank notes it won't be charming.
Charmin is too expensive and soft for banknotes. Old newspaper is more suitable for Drachmas. This banknote order is no big deal. They are probably just printing up more Euros so there will be cash on hand for the Spanish Bank Run.
I remember Mr. Whipple. And Mr. Peabody with his boy Sherman, too. Does that mean I'm old?
That depends on whether you watched it on UHF or YouTube. (And whether you've stopped watching it).

What color ink did they order?
Will they be charging in drachmas or some other fiat? Or do they just get to print extra?
