    Hey guys.. for all of you that actually play the stock market on neopet's like I do.. Just an alert :p You may already be aware, but I've not checked my stocks in months and when I did I was surprised!

    KSON
    (profile) 165 177 +12 Xx,xxx Xxx,xxx X,xxx,xxx +1,080.00%

    KSON is doing very well ;) I've got about 8mil profit sitting there in those stocks alone :p

    So if anyone invested in KSON when they were at 15 and hasn't checked for a while, might pay to go check them. IF you need NP's would be a good time to sell.. If you're greedy like me, and have no need for the NP's, you'll sit on them and wait :p

    Just wanted to bring this to your attention! Hopefully someone else has a nice profit from them.

    P.S I edited the exact amount for privacy reasons :)

    Bad idea, only invest at 15. KSON will soon drop.

    Find a stockmarket guide if you wish for more info.

    Yeah! SoC is correct. I'm not giving advice for anyone to buy KSON :p Not at this stage. ONLY EVER buy stocks that are at 15... Unless you're watching it and can see it going up steadily and want to get in on the action :p KSON is steadily going up, but its towards the top end so could drop at any stage :p

    I'm just letting people know so if they already have some, they can sell/hold on depending on what they want to do :p

    As I said search a decent guide, I'm sure we'll have some if the neo guides section :)

    That'll explain everything, no need for us to repeat ourselves.

    well done on the profit on that junior :p

    For long term investing...Which is what I do :p

    buying ANYTHING at 15 is a safe investment. Yes they will go down.. may sit down for a few months but if you're happy to sit on it they will eventually go up again and you'll make a profit. Unless they go bankrupt, which is a very rare thing :p

    If you want to get into the stock market just start buying 1,000 shares a day of any stock that is at 15 NP. Eventually your portfolio will build up and you will start to make a profit. My total portfolio is has a profit of errrm.... Alot right now :p


    Thats a very brief suggestion. Reading a proper guide will benefit you more. If I had the time I'd write one since I'm pretty passionate about stock market :p


    and thanks SoC :p

    I don't see the need to read a huge guide, all you need to know about the Stock Market is:

    Buy 1000 shares everyday of ANY 15np stock

    Sell at 60np+

    Mind that Stock Market isn't fast money, but it profits a lot if you stick with it for more than half an year.

    To whoever asked about what stocks to invest in, it's all random. Just buy any 1,000 shares of any stock that's at 15 points. If two stocks in your portfolio are both at 15, buy 1,000 more of the one you have the most of. If you have equal amounts in all your stocks, just pick one.
