Fortis share falls 64% this morning on its first day of resumed trading


The shareholders of Fortis were faced with reality after a new disgrace of the Fortis share and now they fear the worst. All the shareholders of Fortis had big expectations by the reopening of the Fortis share on the stock exchange, but they were disillusioned once again. For the moment, the value of the share is 1.93 euros, which is a big difference with ten days ago when the value still was 5. 42 euros. Many shareholders don’t know what to do with this numbers and keep on wondering to sell their share or to buy more on the assumption that Fortis will recover.

The shareholders of Fortis were faced with reality after a new disgrace of [for; disgrace is a rather strange choice of words here] the Fortis share and now they fear the worst. All the shareholders of Fortis had big expectations by [for; Dutch 'bij'] the reopening of the Fortis share on the stock exchange, but they were disillusioned once again. For the moment, the value of the share is 1.93 euros, which is a big difference [compared] with ten days ago when the value still was 5. 42 euros. Many shareholders don’t know what to do with this [these] numbers and keep on wondering [add: whether] to sell their share or to buy more on the assumption that Fortis will recover.

Good flow, but mind the language errors.
