Sweetdang Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I know a lot of you meddle with the stocks, and a lot of you don't. Because you either don't know how it works (In which case, you should check this out :yes: ) or you just think it's too risky. Anyway, I'm working toward my 1,000,000 avatar, even though I don't even have a million. :P I purchase 1000 stocks per day, from prices ranging from 15,000 - 20,000. I try not to exceed that. Right now, though, my stocks are falling like CRAZY. I own 26,000 stocks, 1000 each from: AAVL ACFI BB BOTT BUZZ CHIA CYBU HELT HUW KAUF LDSC LUPE MPC MPC NAKR PDSS PEOP SKEI SSS STFP SWNC TNTP TPEG TPP YIPP I spent, all in all, 416,000nps on these, but they're only worth 314,500. :( 100,000 less, they are FALLING. I have one which was worth 27,000 although I only bought it for 15,000, though. :D So, how are your stocks? Falling/rising/you don't meddle with stocks. Do share! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piticent Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I used to meddle with stocks, but I only had a couple. It's not that it's too risky, it's just that I'd always forget to check them :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeka Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I don't have them anymore. I'm just bad at picking which are going to crash and which not.. I want to invest in stocks, I just really don't know which ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome Back Apathy Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I started off buying stocks at 15, selling at 30. Then I changed my sell point 60. I recently changed to 150 and have not succeeded in selling everything. Totals: 276,000 4,140,000 3,888,000 -6.09% ...Not good right now, but whenever these babies hit 150, I'll be up 40 million!

jumpingbeans Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I have a good two mil invested in stocks... @Sweetdang: You should only buy stocks when they're at 15NP/S. Buy any stock, even repeats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Oh. :mellow: That's really smart! Thank you! :D I have wasted many neopoints. :no: Karina: FOUR MIL. Woa. I don't even have 1 mil in total on hand. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombiiMommii Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 When I first started a couple years ago, I played with stocks. Went away for a year, came back..... one of my stocks was up over +1000. Sold it, made a profit... all of my stocks are in the negative now. A good general rule is to wait to sell when they are +200, right now I am just looking to get out of the market, so as soon as mine go +10 I am selling and out. Just keep in mind the stock market is a long term investment. Its very, very rare that you are going to buy something and be able to sell it the next day, or even the next month and make a decent profit. And there is also no way of telling which ones are going to drop or rise. Its just random. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alynniae Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 i've got 1500 shares of the neopian times, waiting for them to skyrocket, i hope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nailguard Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I try to buy my stocks at 15/per share. That way, it ensures lower risk, and more gains. I also take the stock market as a long term investment, and most of my np gains comes from habitarium. When a stock inflates to my desired goal, i would sell, and ensure a gain.

Suus Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Totals: 71,000 1,065,000 780,000 -26.76% I only buy stocks when there're at 15. Usually, most of my stocks are in the red, but I don't really care about that, because suddenly they'll rise like crazy. It always makes me happy to see that :D Edit: This was my 200th post! ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Yay for 200th? I just bought another 1,000 from EEE today. Does anyone have advice on what % rise to sell, or stop pushing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rommy Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 223,000 3,348,000 2,678,000 -20.01% I'm doing rather poorly lol. The good thing is that EVERY single stock eventually goes back up. It is just a matter of waiting. Don't invest if you cannot stand to wait and need to spend your neopoints now. I use neodaq.com. They keep good track of every single stock...going on at least eight years now. Whenever a stock rises, i check them to see where the stock has gone before and how many times. Then I decide appropriately. I usually miss the big ones because I play it safe. My most recent disaster was virtupets. I had 15000 stock in them when I sold it at 62. Instead of going down it went up to the 600s. Needless to say I was pissed. But I don't let it bother me too often lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeka Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Could anyone here give me an advice in which stocks to invest? Yeah, I know - the ones that are 15NP - but do you have any other advice?

Every single sotck I bought so far went down stayed there.. :sad01_anim: Oh and what does it mean if the company stock volume is 0 ? If you had read some of the previous users posts, they encouraged you to invest in the 15NP since when a stock rises or falls, is random. They have mentioned that you must be patient with your stocks; don't expect stocks to skyrocket within the first week, or month. I have invested about 3mil of stocks, all at the "no risk factor" zone - 15np each. I have decided I do not wish to take any risk, or put effort towards watching the stock market. I'm lazy, hehe. Company stock volume is how many stocks that have been bought by users, during that day. It resets every day and can give you an idea of what stocks users are interested in. As for advice from myself, on which ones to buy, I'd say diversiy your shares. Try to get at least 1000 from each one, so that way if any skyrocket to 500, you've at least made something. Try to always buy 1000 each day. The higher NP you buy at, the more potential you have to make more NP, but you also have more risk since the share could take longer to rise, or you might miss when it does rise. There is a few guides, so of course you can find similiar help there, but you're free to ask as many questions as you want. :P -- Besides all my rambling, my totals are: Totals: 221,030 | 3,327,360 | 3,223,400 | -3.12% I don't play Neopets as much as I used to, so I just hop on, invest 15k into stocks and forget about it! Kills some time, no risk at losing Neopoints, and all the risk to gain some. Yeeehaw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single sotck I bought so far went down stayed there.. :sad01_anim: Oh and what does it mean if the company stock volume is 0 ? What oneloneygal (welcome, by the way! :D ) said was pretty much accurate. No, it was absolutely correct.Here's a pretty useful guide. :) Honestly, the biggest possible secret to the Stock Market is time. You have to have to have to wait. Investing lots and lots into one stock works, too. Even if it plummets, it eventually goes up. I had to wait a year and a half to catch one of my stocks going up! Buy in thousands - which is the maximum per day, so add it to your daily list and go there everyday. If you really hate taking a daily 15,000 out of your bank, then earn that amount in NP through games or something. I don't... know. I've noticed that the amount of stocks open for stocks under 15np is always 0. I think. The view times I've noticed it, anyway. Although diversifying is important, saving neopoints is more - as I've recently learnt. :P Buy, but only 15np ones. And try to have different stocks, but no 15np = DON'T BUY. It's hard to predict - in fact, almost impossible - when the price of a stock is going to rise or fall. I've had a stock at +60% one day, and then +5% the next! Unlike in real life, you can't check or do research, either. Not extensively, any way. But it definitely gives returns, no matter how long you have to wait for them. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway my stocks: Totals: 2,000 30,000 31,000 +3.33% Edited October 11, 2011 by LoveBee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bataclops Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I might be one of the only people who invests this way, but I buy my 1000 stocks a day at 15np per share. Then when a batch of stocks goes up to 20np per share (+33%) I sell them. While I might be missing out on "the big one" the stock prices constantly fluctuate up by 33% so you can sell back stocks in a relatively short amount of time. The way I look at it, I can get a maximum of 12.5% interest at the bank (over a year), or 33% interest in about a month. It's very conservative but makes sense to me!

ab_02 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 i only buy stocks at 15np to 17np, my profile looks like this right now: Totals: 65,500 999,000 909,000 -9.01% I usually won't sell them until above 80np Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englandnz Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Totals: 422,000 6,419,000 6,354,000 -1.01% I buy at 15-17np and use a staggered sell price where I sell 1000 at 70 and then another 1000 at 80 and so on. Takes almost no effort and my profits have recently overtaken the amount that I have invested over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebeka Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Does it ever rise that high? I've never seen it rise up that much! Well just look at KSON (Kacheek and Sons Landscaping) - they're at 1027 and they must have been 15 NPs once, VTPS (Virtupets) are at 572 so they're not so far away from 1000 .. I just hope my stock will go up like this one day :) After 4 days I have this: Totals: 3,250 49,000 53,000 +8,16% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RJAP Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Only have, maybe 2 stocks at a time. which I usually buy at around 15-20nps per share, or if it's gone down loads - you know it's probably just going to bounce back and net you a big, messy profit (as opposed to tidy :)) Recent stocks: FAER - bought at 15, sold at 11 STFP - bought at 24 - sold at 43 EEEE - bought at 15 - still waiting to sell PEOP - bought at 19 - still waiting to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
