I saw a few threads on Reddit as well, but all of the links lead to dead host.

You're probably right about not being allowed to discuss it on the boards. Any ideas if there is something similar out there? The data on how often stocks run from 15 – 50 was useful for placing positions.

I've no idea if there's other options out there, to be honest. You'd have thought there would be wouldn't you, but who knows?

im new to the stockmarket any tips?

Sit on your hands when you get itchy sell finger!

Buy at 15 and sell at 60+ is always a good starting point. When you say new, how new are we talking here?

I would second jellysundae's advice, and generally sell anywhere above 50 myself.

You can use this link to quickly filter out the cheap picks. Some stocks perform better than others, but you'll still probably do pretty well buying 1,000 shares at 15 every day and selling high even if you have to wait a few months.

Neopets — Stock Market Bargain

I use the bargain stocks list (http://www.neopets.com/stockmarket.phtml?type=list&bargain=true) and I normally choose the company with the highest volume selling over 15 np (since you can't buy below 15 np) and buy my 1000 shares daily. Now that I have shares of 30+ companies I usually look at the stocks I have and buy 1000 more shares of something I have that's between 15-20 np. I hang onto my shares until they hit +300%. I'm always tempted to sell lower but I prefer to stick to my 300% rule. Everything goes up eventually! Right now my portfolio is trash but I'm hoping it turns around someday soon haha. Good luck investing!

#storyofmylife

I pretty much concur with what everyone else said. I'll buy anything that's 15np, I don't care which stock it is. I WILL NOT buy anything that cost more than that, even if it means I don't buy any stocks at all that day. I hoard them until they reach my selling point, which these days is 75. Under @jellysundae's tutelage, I have learned (somewhat) how to sit on my hands when I find myself with a case of itchy sell finger.

I buy whatever is at 15np a share that I have the fewest shares of.  Back in the old days when I didn't have pretty much all the stocks in my portfolio, I'd sometimes buy 500 shares each of two stocks that were at 15np that I either didn't have either, or had equally few of both.  If you do the skirmish battles and get--oh, good, my team didn't win so I didn't miss getting my boon before getting my bank interest--the stock market boon, you can buy at 10np a share, and if you have that, you should buy at 10np a share, instead of 15.  I would never sell below 50np a share.  These days I usually wait until about 75, but that's because I don't really care whether I sell or not, I'm not needing the np liquidated.

*wipes proud tear* :'D

I too refuse to buy any at more than 15, lol. That bargain stocks page will sit open all day while I wait for a refresh to present me with some at 15 *stubborn* :laugh:

Jena it's totally confusing at first, I know! But you will get the hang of it, have you not bought at all yet then? My first purchase was 100 of HELT, I only bought 100 because I was scared, lol. That uneven amount in my portfolio annoyed me to no end for ages after that, because HELT did super badly for forever after my purchase and didn't even get back up to a value where I could buy more D: Now I always buy the full 1k every day, and HELT finally rose in value enough to net me a good profit, about 18 months later, lol. It's definitely a slow burn thing this stock market lark, but it's fun!

I'll not start in with stuff about Obelisk boons, learning about buying stocks is confusing enough without bringing that into the mix right now. I'm basically talking about confusing myself trying to explain, before we even get to confusing the new player trying to understand what I'm waffling on about. xD

EDIT:

I feel I should clarify at this point that my "tutelage" of @kayahtik is basically entirely comprised of my yelling at her not to sell. :ph34r:

I laughed so hard at this hahaha. I really feel like it shouldn't be so hard to not sell at 100-299% BUT SOMEHOW IT IS!

IT WORKS!!! I used to sell around 36 or 37 (whatever came out to 150%). So I've almost DOUBLED my sell point thanks to Jelly's yelling at me! I will always be grateful :laugh:

*doffs cap* Happy to be of service on both counts, ladies! ;D

It IS still hard not to sell, there's no denying that, a part of me still wants to when I see stuff's got into the 60s, but there's another part of me giving me that Nan look, you know the one I mean . . . that one over the top of the glasses . . .

I wasn't gonna sell, I was just looking :shiftyeyes_anim:

D:< I DIDN'T DO IT!!

*coughs*

Anyway . . . how, in general, have people's portfolios been behaving this year. Mines been in the green for the majority thanks to how healthy the market's been for a lot of the time, prior to that it had never made it out of the red. I'll share mine at the moment.

It was up in the upper 20s during the boom, but it's still managed to stay at about the current level since with only the odd dip back down into the red.

You have invested A LOT o_O I'm jealous.

I came back from a looong hiatus in the beginning of September and my portfolio was +781%! I bought 5,000 shares of SHRX YEARS ago and completely forgot about it and I made an awesome profit there but that was my only stock. I started buying daily after that and for a few weeks after that my portfolio was +30% and then I sold AAVL and I've been -20% or more for over a month now :crying_anim:

It's been slowly getting closer to positive numbers though!!

781%!!! WOW Talk about welcome back, lol!

I do seem to be doing pretty well right now, don't I, but like I said, before the boom we had earlier this year it had NEVER got out of the red, lol.

RIGHT? I was on the stock board on neo and I was like, "Should I sell my SHRX?" and people asked what I bought it at and all that and they were like "SELL RIGHT NOW IMMEDIATELY QUICK HURRY!". And I did and then it took a dive a few days later and I was reaaaaaally glad I sold when I did.

When was this boom? And how boomy are we talking?? I'm sad I missed it!!

Thanks for the heads up! I was keeping an eye on it earlier but my browser crashed and I forgot to open up the stock market again.

Summary : You had 4050 NP. After 4 successful transactions, you have 344030.

I sold a few hours ago when it was at 81. It would've been nice to get those extra few nps if I had waited until 85, but no regrets here! It had been at 76 a few days ago and I meant to sell, but got distracted and by the time I came back to the page the price had dropped again. So I already got more than I was expecting by selling at 81. A nice 400k that I wasn't expecting~
