Lauren_x Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 What % do you sell at? Cos one of my stocks is at 220% now :O should I sell or should I wait? What's your strategy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I always wait for 300%+ :) It works quite well for me. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren_x Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 That is a good idea. I have no real NP needs right now so I think I may play the waiting game ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaana Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I am a nervous person and always sell at 100%. :* I need more faith in the market. How many shares do you have in the company? One technique people use to try and make sure they don't sell everything at once, they'll sell a good share a bit at a time - so if you had 5000 shares, you'd sell, maybe 2000 today, 2000 tomorrow and 1000 the day after. That way, if it goes up tomorrow, you've still got a decent amount to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aalnius Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 normally i sell at 300% its not really worth it selling at anything lower, but atm i'm just not selling i'm gonna leave em in there till they shoot through the roof, probs not make any profit for months but when i do £££££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren_x Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have like 13,000 shares so I guess I could sell a couple off today....although now I am feeling greedy for the 300% ;) Hmmmm. Do you always buy at 15 or do you buy higher stocks as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I don't pay attention to the %, I wait until the price has raised to 60 or higher. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome Back Apathy Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I started out buying at 15, selling at 30, but when I got more into the game, I started selling at 60 instead. 45 is a good number, though--that's +200%. Depends on how patient you are vs. how much you need the np. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpingbeans Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I personally sell at +200% or more. Of course, I have no need of NP, so I could wait, theoretically, until it went to +1000%. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nataluna Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 ever since i got the stock avatar i've been a bit greedy and won't sell until it reaches 75nps/share :P haven''t sold any, but thats okay, its a more long term thing i guess, and i earn about 15k from games a day and i'll get more out of it this way than bank interest :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Like most people I wait until 300%+ to sell. It is just a nice way of making three times your np. Patience is key. I remember when i first got into the stock market i would sell at 150% then at 250% before I settled on 300%. Just sell when you are comfortable.

-Ryan Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Buy at 15, sell when it gets to 300% If you have a lot of it though and its gaining rapidly, sometimes I only sell 75% of my stock and see if the rest goes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 When I was still saving up NP, I'd sell at 45-50. Now that I just like watching my stocks go up and down, I sell half at 60 (300%) and wait a few days to see if it goes up higher to say, 75 and sell 1/4 of it off, and watch the stock some more. At this point I'll only sell if I think the stock is on its way back down. That way if it does decide it wants to go over 100, I still have some of the stock leftover.

muppetelle Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I sell at 60+ but like one of the posters before said, I try and only sell 1000 or 2000, and save the rest, and see how high it goes! Wheeeeee :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I always buy at 15 and sell at 30 or more. After reading this, though, I might start waiting until 45... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren_x Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 This has been really interesting! I am total stock market n0ob but I like it it's exciting. Plus since I have no real need of the NPs at the moment, waiting it out and seeing how high my stocks fly seems like a good idea. You know what the most annoying thing is? I came back to neo after like a year and a half, and I went to my portfolio and nearly freaked when I saw one of my stocks was +4,245% I eagerly looked to see how many I had and how absolutely filthy rich I was...guess how many stocks? One. One lousy stock. Lol kicking myself fo'sure that day :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Personally I sell at 30nps still, occasionally a bit higher but not much. I like the quick nps, maybe after I get the adam avvie I'll wait more- plus I'm still trying for that stock avatar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurrealSadi Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I try to wait till it hits 300%....but sometimes they don't reach that mark, and I have to just grin and bear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardianAwesome Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I wait until it hits 60, but only sell 1000 shares. I hang on to the rest and hope it goes up more. I find 60 works the best for me because it's not that impossible a number to wait for but still brings in a fair profit when you sell.
