Clumsy rockyroad1 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I have decided to compare the Major 3 pet sites with a stock market: MARAPETS: Earning potential: 25-75 million MP/month Min. share price to buy: 100 MP Description: Stocks can go negative and jump to exponential proportions in one day. Max. share limit: 2500 Influence: Shop sales Automatically sold in: 7 days Rating: 1/5 NEOPETS: Earning potential: 1.5 million NP/month Min. share price to buy: 15 NP Description: Stocks never go below 6. Stocks go to 60 every year or so. Max. share limit: 1000 Influence: Random Automatically sold in: NEVER Rating: 4/5 POWERPETS: Earning potential: 4-18 million PB/month Min. share price to buy: None Description: Some stocks need to be unlocked by paying real money. Max. share limit: You can own up to 3000 stocks. You are limited to owning 1000 stocks of the same company. If you upgrade your account , you can own up to 6000 stocks and up to 2500 stocks of the same company. Influence: Formula based on shop sales Automatically sold in: 30 days, locked in in 12 hours (stocks won't move 12 hrs. after you buy it) Rating: 3/5 (I wonder how the stock market is not artificially inflated even if it is based on shop sales. Maybe they're just less abusive players than Neopians.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Wow. I would hate for my stocks to be sold automatically. :/ That's half the point of the stock market, I think. You're supposed to make an investment over a long period of time. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiImJon Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 This rating seems biased, Marapets' isn't flawed, it's just a lot more of a "high risk high reward" concept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passiflora Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Wow. I would hate for my stocks to be sold automatically. :/ That's half the point of the stock market, I think. You're supposed to make an investment over a long period of time. :/ Agreed. If they were sold automatically I probably wouldn't do it! It would be interesting if Neopets operated more like a real stock market instead of being a random system, but I think it used to be and people abused it. So, I guess it's fine the way it is. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But TNT didn't like that there was no risk of a stock going lower if you bought it at 6np, and guilds were popping up to abuse the stock market. So now we have our current system. Woo. :b And yeah, I wouldn't use it either if my stocks sold automatically! It just seems weird. o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gems Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 i would hate an auto stock selling system. i want to choose my own loss or profit as it were. auto force selling would pretty much defeat the purpose of trading in a stockmarket.
