Rebecca~ Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Does that mean I should go ahead and buy another 1000 stocks of it tomorrow while I still have the chance? I'm just kinda confused cause it seems like some people have better luck with certain stocks and others not so much. I'm tired of buying ones that stay in the -50's for months on end.... I don't think my port has ever been out of the negative. Hey sweetie. Don't worry if your portfolio is in the negatives for a long time- my entire portfolio is -15% at the moment- ouch. But, unlike the real world stockmarket, you can be assured that every single stock will rise at some point. The stock market is just a waiting game. So buy your 1k of stocks at 15 each day (or 16-17 if you really want to), and just be patient. -hugs- I know it sucks not selling anything for ages, but it will happen! All the stocks that I've been selling recently were ones I bought mooooooonths ago while I was trying to get the avatar. If I hadn't been trying to invest a million, I probably would have given up on the stock market because of the complete lack of stocks that seemed to rise. But I'm really seeing the profit from the investing now-- which I wouldn't, if I had stopped investing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 This guide by stepchild9 is great for beginners! I agree with Rebecca, definitely don't give up. You can easily make a huge profit if you're patient and keep buying. Remember that one of your stocks can be in the 100's and you can still have a -12% portfolio, and remember you don't lose ANY money unless you sell! The slowest part of stocks is when you're just starting. Anyone can feel free to neomail me any questions. Other players helped me out so much when I started investing, and I'd love to return the favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime though I'm going to continue to buy stocks, I wish I would have been this whole time... I'd probably be seeing some profit right now. :P This guide by stepchild9 is great for beginners! I agree with Rebecca, definitely don't give up.

I do have one question; this is really for anyone that can answer it? (Excuse me if it sounds a tad stupid) but I'm curious... how long does a stock rise before it goes back down to a 15-17 sell point. Do you have to wait just as long for it to drop after it rises that high? The reason I ask is because I don't think I've ever seen BOTT at a sell-point before.

But you will start seeing profit soon, I'm sure! In case you get discouraged again, why don't you make the avatar your goal? It doesn't seem you're into avatar collecting too much, but since all you have to do for it is invest daily for a couple months, it just happens naturally, and by the time you get it, you will definitely see some profit! :D As for your question, it really depends on the stock. Some drop down really rapidly- like, it'll go from 60 to 15 in a matter of days or a week or so. Others... well, they just keep going high and don't seem to come down again-- like KSON, haha. The stocks are completely random- some take foreveeeeeer to rise up to a sell point (as you can see from my massive portfolio of stocks in the negative right now, lol), while other rise super quickly. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn the Human Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Today in the morning I bought KBAT while it was 15 in and hit 17 again. This is the only day that right after I bought a stock at 15 it didn't go 13 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know of any stocks that tend to rise super quickly? Or is it all just random? I'm just curious what stocks would be the best to invest in in the future. I think I read in a guide once that if there are a lot of stocks from the same company (like kbat for example) you have more competition so it tends not to rise as fast. Versus stocks that don't have any competitors...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Valentine Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 There's a great website called Neodaq that's pretty much a comprehensive tool in managing stocks. If you're really serious about getting into stocks, I suggest checking it out :) They have a feature called a Report Card, which shows all the stocks, average time for them to rise and fall, and the highest they ever went, and how often they will go to a selling point of 45. They also grade the stocks from A-F in terms of the former criteria, so using their tool, it shows that KAUF, NATN, TNPT and TSRC are good stocks to invest in. ~Xandria 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frescort Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Totals: 23,000 345,000 284,000 -17.68% ....Ouch. I need to invest in some stocks. EEEEE and SMUG are getting close but I'm waiting until they hit 15/16. Also, I don't think I've ever seen TSRC go over 7. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clumsy rockyroad1 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Sold 2000 shares of POWR for 63 NP. Bought 1000 shares of SSS for 15 NP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clumsy rockyroad1 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 SSS has dropped to 14. :( And you mean TNPT? If there are no stocks at 15-17, just wait 30 mins. because the stock price updates every 30 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nika Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Oops I actually meant TPP. And I don't like to wait because either I don't have time later or I forget and think I already did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Xandria Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 SWNC is moving on up there! Currently at 29. (: This is the highest one of my stocks have gone in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn the Human Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 SWNC is moving on up there! Currently at 29. (: This is the highest one of my stocks have gone in a long time. I have 2k shares of it. :D COFL is coming back. Though my port is getting closer to the avatar! FAER, ACFI, LDSC, and NATN disappointing! I didn't buy ACFI though. I hope KSON finishes its plummet and goes back down to 70 or something. I really want other stocks besides VPTS and KSON too go 500+. *runs to buy stocks* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frescort Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Nothing at 15 right now, I'll check later. Totals: 26,000 390,000 325,000 -16.67% ...sigh. It seems like every stock that rises I don't have. I have awful luck with stocks, my highest is at 29 - SWNC. I keep hoping that SMUG and EEEEE get closer to buying. TNAH was close but it skyrocketed today. I can't seem to buy stocks at 16 - my OCD likes having everything in multiples of 5, just like how I can only deposit NPs in my bank in 5000 NP intervals.

Well I hope NATN, BB, BUZZ, CHIA, CHPS, COFL, DROO, FAER, HELT, KAUF,KBAT, LDSC, MYNC, NAKR, SHRX, SSS, STFP, and SWNC all hit 60! All the companies that I have. It would be cool if the stock market could go up 1000 points in one day, and then go down! I would sell and then buy and then sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Xandria Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm getting closer to the avatar as well! I currently have 400,000 in the stocks. So I'm almost halfway. ^_^ I bought SMUG at 18 today, even though I probably should have waited. I figured though, that it'd be worth it in the end. I think it's one of those stocks that tends to rise rather frequently. So, fingers crossed. AAVL doesn't seem like it will ever rise. I'm about ready to give up on it. LOL. CHIA, CHPS, HELT, KBAT, FAER, LDSC, MYNC, PEOP, TPEG, TPP, and TSRC are all doing terrible! :grrr: My best stock right now, is also SWNC... followed by STFP at 20. My port is not doing so well. -19. OUCH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
