    (For neopets)
    Suggestion: A neopets program (vb?) that buys the cheapest stock possible (once a day)
    -Buys as many shares (up to 1000 per day {neopets limit}) as you want
    -Buys lowest costed stock over 14 (has to be 15+ to buy)
    -Doesn't take up CPU power/doesn't freeze computer/can run minimized in tray while you go do something else.
    :)

    thats a good idea but pretty useless since 1000 shares per day is the limit

    Yeah multi account. 1 account is quite useless...

    Why would people want to use that on multiple accounts?

    suggested many times
    shot down even more times

    the time it takes for you to load the program will take longer than buying stocks yourself.

    Lazy people!

    Could this perhaps be a feature built into the 'daily doer' bit of the AB programmes instead?

    It can.

    SoC: If you have a list of like 40 accounts, this would rake in serious NP... (If it had proxy support and stuff)

    It can also be a money sink. Well not really a sink, more like a freezer since you won't be able to touch some stocks it until the stock matures unless you want to lose np

    I have 3,901,000 invested and it's worth only 3,783,000

    I don't see a problem with buying the stocks. It's more about the selling. Is the program going to keep a portfolio of the stocks you own so that when it checks the market and sees that there's one above your sell point, it'll go into those accounts and sell the stock?

    A portfolio would be nice. So that it is for buying and selling. An Auto-Stocker. :)

    this program could be viable (people who do this legit make 1 mil per month so for us 1 mil per month per account)

    the only problem would be the start-up costs and the need for proxies

    if this were to happen it would have to chart which accounts had what stocks as well as pool all the stocks as if in one single portfolio

    i doubt i would use this (as the hassle trying to keep all the accounts uniced with proxies and the like could be too much for me) but i feel it could be a handy inclusion to AU dailies
