Coco Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 My investment in HELT is still as horrible as ever. I can't wait to sell it once it goes back up to the price I bought it for. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1tomread1 Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 What did you buy at?? I buy almost exclusively at 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antjie Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 i just sold my shares in NATN and made 30 000np profit and bought up 1000 shares in BB. I also only buy at 15 a share and usually sell when its 50% or slightly more profit.still got 2 in the red, and 2 in green, but need to wait a lil bit more for more profit :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1tomread1 Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 sounds good, i think the main thing with stocks is to buy at 15 and be patient. I normally hold out a little bit longer until i sell, sold 2k of FISH the other day for 102k pure profit :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepti M. Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Invest in POWR when it's less then 75. POWR is known to sometimes go up to 850 NP per share, so honestly, 75,000 neopoints isn't going to hurt your bank...usually I try to buy at 15 but I don't go to the stock market everyday. 2 lazy.

Jikuu Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I've been seeing my portfolio in the green recently, especially since I dumped a lot in POWR. Granted, I have less than 200K NP in the whole thing, but it's better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy ♥ Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 My Portfolio is currently at -1.98% xD I just sold all my COFL and FISH shares in the last few days though, it was up in the green before that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lia Seeya Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 After a LONG time of being in the red, my portfolio is slowly recovering. I invested in POWR when it was at 83NP. So it'll be a lot of waiting for me. :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I just started playing the Neopian Stock Market this past week, after reading about everyone's recommendation here to buy stocks. Before that, I never really gave it much thought. It sounded pretty boring, and I didn't care enough to look into it. But you guys convinced me to give it a shot. Thanks, everyone! By the way, so far, I'm breaking even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naalaro Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I actually have a stake in most of the stock market firms, some of the indexes have been rising, but most are staying in the red for now,so im waiting it out. That said, i did make a 313 percent profit recently :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarria33 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Thanks for reminding me to check my stocks. Right not I have two investments KSON and LUPE. KSON is doing horribly (red) but LUPE is up...I'm just waiting it to become a 100% profit...it's at 73%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffany Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 My boyfriend was the one that got me into the stock market. I only buy at 15 NP, but I made an exception with POWR and bought it at 78. The only other stock I have is PEOP because it's usually pretty good. It went up high one time, but I waited til it went back down so I can buy more of it at 15 8D Tehe. I kept missing POWR's low prices. Grr. Right now, I'm in the green. +0.24% xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 My full portfolio is only worth around 10,114 at the moment (change is only +47.71%, but it's in the green!) Looks like I could be waiting a long time. NANT is in the red, as well as SKEI, which I was stupid to buy at the time but now they're never going to sell :( POWR is my other stock (which is in the green, at 104 NP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antjie Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 the main point still remains, no matter if you go into the red, it will come out into the green and you will still make more money than you would have getting interest in the bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joely_x0 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I've currently only got 9 stocks haha - I only started yesterday. It's all in the green though, I'm just waiting for a minimum of 50% profit before I sell. Could anyone give my any tips on how to get an effective income from the stock market?

caliama Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Could anyone give my any tips on how to get an effective income from the stock market? I'm still new to the stock market, but people are saying that if you buy 15 stocks a day at about 15-17 nps each, then you should make a good profit. Haven't tried it yet, though. You could also look at the guide here on TDN. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepti M. Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 They're all still in the red for me. *kicks POWR* I invested 182k in you for this?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 My portfolio is seriously in the red! :( stupid thing :P lol oh well... I'll wait, I'll be very patient, I'm sure it will go up eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 In the red, but I don't care. Most tickets are a good long term investment ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onime_no_kai Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 The nice thing about Neo's stock market is that it's purely a waiting game -- they took out any user influence years ago because people were cheating, so it's now just a matter of waiting for your stocks to be the ones that go up in value. The bad thing about Neo's stock market is, well, that it's a waiting game -- you have to be very patient. The stock market is best done as a very long-term investment; you may have to wait several months for your stocks to get up to a level where you'd be willing to sell them. That said, I agree that the stock market is a fantastic way to make NP. I've only just started rebuilding my portfolio and I'm pretty sure I'm in the red at the moment. :P But on my old account I made close to a million from stocks and I hadn't even been doing it all that long. My recommendation is to max out your stocks every day, and *never* pay more than the minimum of 15NP/share if you can possibly help it. Certainly I wouldn't recommend paying anything higher than maybe 20NP/share (except for POWR, apparently? o_O), and even that's probably pushing it. I also personally won't sell at anything below 50 and I usually try to wait for a stock to hit 60, but that's just personal preference -- if you want a little less money a little faster, try selling at 45 a share, or whatever you're happy with. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luciana Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Just started trying the whole stock market thing recently and right now my porfolio is worth 72,000 and it's in the red at -25.08%. and only one of the stocks I invested in is in the green, but not by much. lame Good thing I'm patient. I found a nice site awhile ago about the market and it has a good guide. If anyone's interested, here's the link. http://www.neodaq.com/basics.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm mostly in the red, although as long as my stocks linger around 15, i don't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
