Rune Valentine Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Whoa, I can't believe LUPE has shot up to 315. Glad to have been on semi-hiatus and still have 15k shares left to sell in time for some Christmas shopping :P Clumsy rockyroad1, Rebecca~ and siniri 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachany Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm fairly new to the stock market, and I was wondering what's the usual for # of shares bought, # of np paid, and when's a good time to sell? So far my strategy has just been clicking around the things that have a plus sign... : Also, does anyone have any suggestions as to what to invest? This is what I have currently... I'm thinking it's time to sell KSON since it's dropping? I bought KSON, POWR, and SWNC before my hiatus (which was a year ago ish) and before I read any guides and stuff :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I always buy whatever I have the least of at 15. xD And then I wait to sell until it's at LEAST at 60np a share. My biggest suggestion for you is to start buying daily, and always buy 1000 shares. If you had done that with KSON you'd be looking at a REALLY nice chunk of NP, rather than less than 3k. :) Always try to buy at 15, since it's the lowest amount you can buy at, and so you'll get the greatest return when it hits your sell point of ~whatever~. haha. 60 is a common sell point, since it's 300% increase on your initial investment (assuming a 15NP investment). Some people, if they need the NP more quickly for a paintbrush or whatever, will sell at 30 or 45, since it's still a nice return on your investment, but stocks reach it more quickly than 60. :) Here is my portfolio, under a spoiler because it's long. xD My stocks aren't doing so great right now, but not too long ago I sold 20k stocks and got a profit of 1.5million or so? Something like that. :) emily_speck_15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been confused as to how people can usually make at least 50k+ off the SM and I hope I'm one of them... Now it's time to master Food Club!

Given time, you definitely will be. ^_^ Stocks can be frustrating, since it's such a long term investment. I wasn't able to sell any of the stocks I bought for several months after I started, and it was so annoying. @.@ But now I can sell quite frequently, and I still have a nice diverse portfolio. :) As for Food Club, I would start by following other people's bets. :) You can get a feel for how the bets are made, often see their reasoning for going with this instead of that. If you want to see how your own bets would do, but you don't want to risk your NP on it, you could put them down on paper, and then check them the next day. :) There should be some good tips on this thread (http://www.tdnforums.com/index.php?/topic/38968-the-official-food-club-topic/). It's not been active in a while, but you can always make a post there, and I'm sure lots of people would pop up. ;3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clumsy rockyroad1 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Sold 4k AAVL at 56 since it like never goes up above 40-something. 5k left. Waiting for 70 or higher. Bought 1k LDSC at 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) My sellpoint for AAVL is 80, so I'm holding... and holding... and holding. I'm up to 758.5k shares of everything. I've got 3 different stocks with 30k+ shares, 15 with 20k to <30k shares, 16 with 10k to <20k shares, and only 6 with <10k shares (and no shares of the 3 worth several hundred NP per share). Ah, well. That was the point of picking higher sellpoints -- to keep more NP in the stock market, and cash out with bigger gains. Not only will I be getting more per share, I'll be selling more shares at a time. Theoretically. If anything ever hits... Right now I'm keeping an eye on AAVL and TAG (SP = 80, 79), and looking askance at the yoyoing MYNCI (SP = 120). I should reassess my sellpoints in the next few months, now that there's another year of market data. ETA: Woohoo! Finally, finally, I can sell something. BOTT just hit 70, which is my sellpoint. I sold 6k of my 17k shares, hoping to be able to time the market (when will I ever learn?).

Finn the Human Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Buying stocks at 10 NP per day is much better =D Thank you thieves ~Xandria 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Xandria Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 You said it Finn! It's been nice. Was able to get quite a few stocks I was low on!!!! :D My portofolio is getting larger. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 ...dude. When did LUPE fly over 400?! Seriously. I'm glad I have 14k shares leftover. Time to cash in more monies. Nigel the Chia charges 20 NP as commission.Summary : You had 20233 NP. After 2 successful transactions, you have 914213. fireembemphanatic and siniri 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 It's been forever...but AAVL is flying up to 56 now, likely to go up to 60 soon :) Gonna sell off a few just in case it drops before it does, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avia loves Chias Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 as soon as it hits 60, i'm unloading a few thousand shares! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 AAVL was up to 74 this morning, currently at 68. Sold 3k when it was 74, hopefully it goes back up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lia Seeya Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 AAVL is currently at 72. Sold off 2k out of my 5k shares for a nice little sum. I can finally start selling things off since I've gotten the Stock Market avatar. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaybee92 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hopefully AAVL will hit above 100. It's been going up quick, down slow, then back up...so I'm hoping this isn't the last of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clumsy rockyroad1 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 AAVL at 74 now..selling all but 1k of my 6k shares, its been eons since AAVL got to 60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avia loves Chias Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 looks like it peaked at 75? i was holding out for 80 for my last few thousands shares but i might as well hold on to them now. investing takes patience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Yeah, I saw it at 75 at the start of the day then it was just all downhill from there xD Glad I sold earlier, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beruichi Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Ahhh I missed the chance to sell AAVL it's currently down to 53. :/ Considering the rather disappointing negative values of my stocks, I rather missed a golden opportunity. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 AAVL just popped back up to 54, so hopefully it'll jump back up to something good to sell for those who missed it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beruichi Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 AAVL just popped back up to 54, so hopefully it'll jump back up to something good to sell for those who missed it ;) Oooh, thanks for the heads up! It's at 59 right now, gonna sell half of my 3k shares ehe :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Anyone who still has leftover SWNC from when it shot up to 100+ can still unload now at 65 :) AAVL totally dropped after one day, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avia loves Chias Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 BB is at 53 right now. it's been increasing for the past few days, but it's shooting up quickly today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackberrypatch Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 BB is at 53 right now. it's been increasing for the past few days, but it's shooting up quickly today. I've been following that. Hopefully it goes to 60+. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 SHRX is also on the rise, albeit slowly. Needs to pop up to 60, it's been a loooong time since I've sold SHRX :P BB is still being stubborn and refusing to go over 60, but I'll wait it out. Could sell now, I do have quite a few shares...
