I said to myself, I don't trust this stock. And I sold 2k (instead of 1k, what I usually do) of my 4k at 49. And SWNC came down to 41.

I like to wait but I'm getting quite anxious... I haven't sold any stocks for a loooong time and I need the money

 

By the way, today seems like it's going to be another awful day, the stocks that are going up are far away from giving a high profit

Totals: 700,000 10,590,000 13,017,000 +22.92%

I seem to have quite a bit of stock compared to rest of you chums here, I only sell at +500 to 1000%, the waiting is costing me nothing and for it to make the same money through other investments is quite impossible in the same timeframe. I've made almost all my money like this, I don't do much on NP besides the stock market.

 

Summary: Buy @15-16 tops, sell at +500% minimum.

How often do you end up selling your stocks? I rarely have seen stocks get up that high. :o

I did some fun math to find out how long it would take to gain the same amount of interest in the bank (at 12.5%, compounded daily) as you would at various sell-points in the stock market. As long as the stock of interest hits the sell-point more frequently (on average) than the length to gain that much interest, you're better off in the stock market than in the bank. Of course, the higher your sell-point, the more variance there will be in terms of length of time to reach it (and thus more risk) vs. accumulating interest.

 

Sellpoint: Time to Equivalent Interest*

30: 5 years, 68 days

45: 8 years, 112 days

60: 10 years, 200 days

75: 12 years, 108 days

90: 13 years, 266 days

105: 14 years, 345 days

120: 16 years (exactly)

135: 16 years, 340 days

150: 17 years, 279 days

165: 18 years, 190 days

180: 19 years, 77 days

195: 19 years, 20 days

210: 20 years, 159 days

240: 21 years, 182 days

270: 22 years, 212 days

300: 23 years, 100 days

330: 24 years, 12 days

375: 25 years, 19 days

420: 25 years, 348 days

450: 26 years, 184 days

500: 27 years, 126 days

600: 28 years, 292 days

700: 30 years, 11 days

900: 32 years, 14 days

1200: 34 years, 123 days

1500: 36 years, 44 days

2000: 38 years, 153 days

2500: 40 years, 74 days

3000: 41 years, 242 days

4000: 43 years, 327 days

5000: 45 years, 273 days

*I did not factor in leap years. I think during leap years, you get an additional day's interest, so for every 4 years, just subtract 1 day to reach that interest level.

 

Of course, bank interest is not necessarily the best investment of your resources. Since the stock market is a long term investment, and you can't control when it's time to sell, you do need cash on hand to pay for... whatever you like to spend money on. (For example, maybe you bought extras of all the Negg Festival prizes to sell later once they inflate. Or maybe you buy weapons, healing potions, dubloons, and codestones when they're cheaper and sell during wars. Or maybe you just want a good BD set, or you want to work on your gallery, or just train. All these require NP on hand.) It's up to you how much you invest in the stock market vs. keeping on hand. (Don't forget, there's also the risk of a stock going bankrupt. The more you have on hand, the more you stand to lose. This hasn't happened since 2004, but you never know -- 8 went bankrupt over the course of a couple of years. There's also the slight risk that TNT might change how the stock market works, making it work more like a real stock market (where price is based on how much the store in question sells of high-profit vs. low-profit items, as well as the number of shares being bought and sold each day).)

 

But given that it would take 10 years in the bank to equal a buy-at-15,sell-at-60 stock market gain, I think I will increase my sell-point. I just need to see how often stocks meet other sell-points (if ever). For example, AAVL has only gone above 100 four times (2005, 2007, and twice in 2009). ACFI never has; it has only gone above 90 once, in 2005 (same with BB, only in 2007). So while it might make sense to raise AAVL's sell-point to 100, it wouldn't for ACFI or BB.

I sell weekly, and I make twice as much than I spend during said week on stock, at the least. in most cases I sell for 350-700k (Just because I have 15000 or something of the stock.)

 

As Siniri said above, it's worth the wait. And considering there's a 15000-17000 daily spending limit on stocks, you can use all the other money for other investments. I made 35.000.000 from stock over 3-4 years, keeping in mind that I only do stock market, I almost never sell other items and my starting capital was 1.500.000 from a paintbrush. That's a 23 times increase in value from stock alone.
