    Would it be possible if everyone on here got together and set a date and time to buy a certian stock to inflate the stock market? I know you can only buy 1000 shares a day but if we were all to do it on several accounts all at once wouldnt it go up?

    I think the stock market is independent of anything now. You used to be able to inflate things, but they stopped that because huge guilds were organizing efforts and manipulating the market.

    I could be wrong though, I'm not 100% sure.

    I always thought it was completely random...I guess I was never part of a stock market guild waaay back when I was last playing, so I probably didn't notice anything like that :p

    Thats pretty lame, how are you supposed to play it good if you cant even have a hint of what its going to do next and 1000 stock isnt enough to make profit off of anyway

    Funny.

    But seriously, the stock market is a great long-term way to make bundles of cash. Just stick 15k into it every day and you should be making big bucks in a year or two :)

    Everybody's playing the stockmarket now huh? I'm assuming the neo stock market works like the real-life one, so what do you put your NP into?

    The Neopets Stock Market is not at all like the real-life one. Within the past few months, the real world economy has dropped down, with billions lost.
    And the neopets one is all gung ho, i'm still making profits off it. Basically, with neopets stock market, you can't lost money. The last time a company has crashed was years ago. It's an arbitrage opportunity. Invest as much as you can.

    lol thanks. so the companies are all based on the shops in neopets i guess? any change of opening your own company and getting neofriends to buy stocks off you? it would be really cool if you could.
