Completely messed up Food Club today by using the wrong arena as a positive as I wasn’t using my noggin. I probably should have just kept it, but I then panicked and changed arena. I think today may be a bust… Thankful for the 56:10 yesterday!

Hah, I was thinking of a way of working it out that didn't involve me getting my calculator out! The onus of foolishness would have been on me! I was determined to do it in as few clicks as possible, hence why it wasn't quite exactly 721k; close enough though! Yeah, I sold at 71. I only have 5 left to remind myself to rebuy when it drops to 15 again! You definitely profit more in total from your bank interest, but essentially selling at 60 and above is far higher than 12.5% interest. You could end up keeping your stocks for years and it would still exceed the interest overall. You can't really use the bottom line on the stocks as the majority of stocks will be at 5-20 for most of the time. It's more a case of jumping on the ones that are overall higher and selling to make a profit, sticking the proceeds in the bank and then re-investing. My bottom line will occasionally jump to 20-30% if one or two stocks are doing particularly well, but it will then sink again when I sell those high fliers. If you really wanted to check where you make the most, you'd need a table of when you bought vs when you've been able to sell and how much for. Then you can check that against the typical bank interest for the period against all the stocks you've bought, I suspect... maybe?

I mean, the interest on 721k is as follows: And you've made a hell of a lot more than 90k on those beauties!! (I need to put my millions back in the bank pronto before I get hit by some stupid tax event!) Phew, it's back! Either way, if you actually sell at 60-70 (and don't hoard them, eh!) then the profit on stocks will vastly outweigh the 12.5% top interest rate. Particularly as you can sell, put the proceeds in the bank and collect interest on that! But you do... ummm... have to sell them for that to work, I'm afraid.

Glad I kept back half! Sold the rest at 70! Thanks for the heads up! As @nirv120 says, it's completely up to you where you sell at. Some people sell at 30, others 60, some hold for longer. Personally, I tend to stick with 60 although I might gamble like I did yesterday; selling half and then seeing if it rose further. Having watched the ups and downs, it's a gamble as often a stock won't get higher than 60 and will then plummet. Other times I've missed out on shares rising higher like when FAER recently rose to 125! In terms of which stock to buy, I'll always try and bolster the ones I have less of. So if there's more than one at 15, I check my current stocks and see which one has less bought.

Finally caught BB at 60 and sold half. Hoping it goes back to 65 and I'll sell the other half!

Congrats! And yes, that was a very nice deal indeed!! I've just noted the wise king and grumpy king have now been converted... and they didn't even use flash!!

I'm with @aleu1986 - these are all fantastic! It was really hard just picking a few to vote for!! I've never really 'got' water pets before, but these customs were brilliantly inventive!

Missed it at 60+. Now watching and waiting... I suppose the good thing about not selling in ages is that I have now got 3.5million invested! Clearly nothing on you though!!

I managed! Miracles do indeed happen sometimes!

I lost my streak this weekend as well... child sitting was rather exhausting!

@midnight_spell360 Apologies, I'd signed off for the day on Friday and have been crazy busy over the weekend child sitting! I do indeed have enough trades if the kind offer is still open!! There's absolutely no rush, so whenever you are free and online is absolutely fine. You're an absolute star! I'll neomail you as well! I think we all started playing... I also got 20!

Just got this one! I only have one 'easy' pet avatar to get now and that's the Mumi Ruki. Then it's SUAP and Bony Club Grarrl. I'm going for the two petpet ones I haven't got next I think; Meowclops and Mootix.

Another minor splurge as I say a fellow Neopian on FB selling this little beauty. My newest paint job has his forever petpet!

As I own two Mara pets, I really hope that I can manage to get an entry in this time!

Thank you!

This is awesome of you! I'd love the Darigan Team Trousers and Cleats to selfbetrayal please!

I'm awful at Scrabble type games so L&L got downloaded, tried and uninstalled in the same day. I completed Ghoul Catchers but had to spend money to get past a couple of levels on I think Faerieland? I admit, I only did it for the in game rewards! But yes, a newly done habi or KQ would be great, particularly if they kept the in game rewards. Complete and hard agree. I mean a revive of something like Habi would be very cool. But you'd think they'd sort the complete majority of the site that isn't converted yet!

It's like, if they want to have a matching game then just update Ghoul Catchers with new levels... which were promised before the game was discontinued. They already have a matching game. An an island builder that still isn't available on Apple. Instead of faffing around with new mini-games, I wish they would just work on the site and what is already broken!

Having followed the link to the feedback form on the news page (direct link: https://sdwj.99.com/q/aA7v6j), it would appear that they are now considering yet another bleeding match game after only just discontinuing Ghoul Catchers. I just... don't get it. Match games have a hugely over saturated market and I surely can't be the only person who is sick and tired of them. Even games that seem to be actual puzzle related that I download from interesting ads end up having a match format to them and I delete them. If they really wanted to develop a decent mobile game then something like Treasure Finders of old (yes, I'm probably showing my age) which was a shop simulation as I recall that was actually really darn good. Or a re-code and re-make of Habitarium - which would work perfectly in a mobile format! I know they don't own the rights to the original game, but the idea is sound. Re-name, add a load more petpets, add some additional jobs and such like and they could re-make it as a whole new game. KeyQuest - again, I know they'd have to code it from scratch as they 'lost' the original code. But can you imagine the interest from their player base who have been calling for them to bring that game back!? They could do it so you have an option to play single player or multi-player and make it a fantastic mobile game. Or well, you know, just fixing the site!? Fixing the cruddily converted games we have and actually converting more of them on a monthly basis?! I might admittedly be biased because I really dislike match games now, but it just seems so... pointless! The only space for free feedback in the form is the 'Other' response on what would you look forward to most in a Match game. My response: "Absolutely nothing. There is no merit in creating another match game only months after abandoning Ghoul Catchers. The main site needs all the resources you can throw at it and instead diverting to inane mini-games. The market is additionally already flooded with match games. If you must do a side game, then a simulation game like the old Treasure Finders game or a new version of Habitarium would likely go down reasonably well with your customer base. But another match game is just a waste of time, effort and money."

Mara clothing is extremely limited and largely NC only. Any current Mara clothing will not work on the new Kiko; they don't go back and adjust the code to allow previous items to fit. But any new items will fit it. You're better off zapping a Kiko as species changes are just as random as colour changes. So your Grundo could just as easily turn into a Cybunny or an Ixi for example. Species changes have always for me reverted to base colours as well. So your Grundo may zap Kiko, but it will be a base red, blue, yellow, green colour. You would then need to keep zapping and hope you don't get another species change before the right colour change! What many people do is buy morphing potions to bring their pet back to their desired species if they zap out of it. Kiko morphing potions aren't that expensive - usually under 100k - so it's not as devastating as zapping a Gelert for example where the cheapest morphing potions tend to be 2 million plus!

Yep, exactly. Although as the Chia has lots of random fruits and veg that no other pet has, there are usually always options. For a cheaper paint brush, it may well be more cost effective to paint the initial pet the right colour and then change species. But for Mara or Stealth for instance which are both insanely priced, or for lab only colours like MSP or Ice Bori, the switcharoo works better! And hah, that was not my intention, I admit!

Yep, brand new. I was just really quick off the mark! It should be zappable, all of the other Mara pets are!

Because I took advantage of the Premium perk in order to prevent spending 6 million plus neopoints. The PP allows you to morph your pet into a different species and keep the colour, however if you have a pet in a colour that your new species doesn't have, it allows you to pick a new colour. Kiko has all of the cheap paint brush colours, so the cheapest way I saw to do it was: 1. Morph into a basic Chia (200k odd) 2. Feed a gooseberry pop (300k odd) 3. Move across to Premium perk, click that I wanted a Kiko to get the message that gooseberry doesn't exist as a Kiko colour, would I like to pick a new colour. Yes, yes, I would. I'll take Maraquan please! WALLAH! A 6 plus million paint job for under 600k! I did it before with my MSP, but at the time Poogle didn't have a water option. So I morphed Shenistre into a Water Kau, then used the Premium Perk to turn him into a Poogle and picked MSP as my new colour!

250! FINALLY!!!! Eight codestones can go rot in hell!! Heeeeee!

Yep, I've had a 3 point before... never a 5 point!! But yes, it would have been most appreciated on my CODESTONE PET!
