The fuck is this?

why was the last thread deleted?

>>7330
Its a stock map
>>7368
Probably the mods thought that Im trying to insult the gods chosen people

What companies are you looking at?
Post your orders

So have any of you actually played this?

>>7760
Im looking at TSLA, made some moneys irl on it recently


We already have 14 players.

>>7760

Looking at Tesla, currently have 50 shares of both CLF and TWC

Also, does anyone know any good hemp related stocks?

Gotta make money off of the liberals.

Will the rankings show up after the markets open for a day?

My first three orders were in biotech:
50 shares of PCYC
315 shares of PFE
300 shares of RTRX

>>8216
Yes, and the ranking is based on the total returns

bump

>>7301
can an 18 NEET learn to play this game?

>>8614

Probably.

Also you can use stop orders in the game and I encourage you to use them( if you don't know what stop orders are watch this http://www.investopedia.com/video/play/stop-loss-orders/))

>>8614
Sure

>>8650
>>8666
created an account and joined.
How do i start?

>>8679

Just lurk around the websites and buy stocks you want.

>>866 This. Chose what you want to buy, make some research about it, look at the chart and technical stuff and if you feel good about it buy it, if not, find some other stock.

i should be more patient

>>9004

oy vey

I'm starting small tonight (read: didn't feel like doing a lot of research). I'll probably buy a lot more tomorrow.

All I plan on buying for today.

almost 30 players in a few hours

I really want to play, but I don't know anything about stocks :/ Would I still be able to join?

>>9397
Go for it, I don't know anything either and I have 20k invested in various biotech companies. Will see how it turns out tomorrow.

Yeah, make an account and invest in whatever companies look cool. You might get lucky and outperform everyone.

>>9397

I don't know anything about stocks and bought a ton of stuff.

>300 shares of Goodyear
>150 of Volkswagen
>90 of Exxon

TIME TO WATCH THE MONEY ROLL IN

>>9397
Hey guys me again. What do I put for Title, Industry, and Profession when signing up? Does it matter or do I make shit up?

We have 30 players now!

>>9520
Lel id does not matter, its just demographics they collect

>>9520
Doesn't matter.

>>9510
What made you choose those particular stocks?

can you short stocks in this game?

>>9543

I used Google Finance to look at their trends for the year.

Exxon recently went down, but with the spring travel season coming it's going to bounce back hard.

Goodyear has been on the rise this year, out of the "Big Rubber" companies I see them as being the most successful for a long time.

And I wanted to invest in autos. Ford and GM weren't doing too hot, and Toyota and Daimler were hella expensive, so I went with one I knew would at least stay around $50 for the year.

Keep in mind I know dick all about stocks and economics

>>9547
sell short yes..

>>9578
>Keep in mind I know dick all about stocks and economics

Well that makes two of us, I only know about non-economic politics.

>>9653

Also just shorted the fuck out of Sony.

Right now I'm following what the big boys do and adding in a few of my own (100 shares of Nintendo, for example)

>>9704

>Nintendo

>good

>>9704
>2014
>buying nintendo shares
w-wut?

>>9720

I don't need them to be good, I need them to recover slightly then sell them off before E3

can you mutual fund in here?

>2014
>Not putting it all into bitcoin ETFs

The S&p will be at 1,300 at the end of the year. Bitcoin will be 10,000 a coin You can mark my words

>>9752

Nintendo has been doing shit lately

>>9740
see
>>9752

>>9753
In the game, I don't think so. Besides, that would kinda defeat the point.

>>9810

Everyone's doing shit, but unlike Sony, Nintendo won't go bankrupt

How does trading on margin work? Are there margin calls?

>>9578
> People who obviously have no idea what they are talking about giving pretentious-sounding "advice"

Sure is reddit in here

>>9883
>keep in mind i know dick in stocks

he at least admitted it faggot

>>9872
it's taking out a loan to buy stocks.

>>9900
I wonder if this is the first post to use the word reddit on this board.

>>9918

Yes. Are there calls in this game? What are the terms of the loans?

>>9924

Wouldn't be suprised

>>9936
>starts with 100k
>wants to buy on margin
i think you answered your own question

>>9977
I would be. 9900 is a lot of posts on a board that probably started with some discussions that turned "political" before they were deleted

father quit his job. He's 53 yr old and doesn't qualify for food stamps due to the money he has in hold.

85k he's looking to invest.

ideas? i'll read the thread after this post but appointed suggestions = grateful..

>>9900

blue chip stocks, just make sure you pick a good company that wont fuck you over.

>>10015
>>10045
you could also try bonds, but the interest rate is so low you wouldn't make anything

>>10040

I was just saying Exxon won't stay under $100 for long

>>10015

>>10226
Oh shit how do I do that kind anon?

>>10242
>/biz/ game not real market, sorry anon

So the point of this game is to see if you actually make any sense so you can try it for real?

>>10543
yes, I would say that's pretty much the point

>Title: CEO/President/Chairman
>Industry: Airlines
>Profession: Doctor/Medical Professional
You guys cannot beat me I am the CEO of an airplane doctor company making somewhere between $150,000 and $199,999 a year!

Real question though: Is this some weird Neopets market where everything is internal to our game or are we just investing in actual stocks with monopoly money?

>>11599
The latter.

>>7301
Why are we using markwatch when Investopedia's simulator is clearly superior?

Should I just play or is it recommended to read a guide before I start?

>>13685
Start with this.
http://www.investopedia.com/university/stocks/
You have about 3 hours till the market opens anyway, so you have time.

>>13702
This should be added to the OP. It would be helpful for people who know nothing about trading.

>>13702
Cool, thanks.

Should I invest in McDonald's?

>>13792
Invest in whatever you like.

I'm gonna short EA, please tell me why stupid /v/irgin me that is a bad idea

>>13860
Don't invest with emotions. Personally I have not looked into EA but you should stay away from things that you have feelings to.

This is just ameripoor stocks?

I just typed random letters in the search bar and invested in whatever the fuck came up.

>>13961

>>14059
Not even /pol/.
Why can't we have a global stock game?

>advantage for Amerifats
Fuck you

>>14068
It's probably just the programmers being lazy. If it was multiple markets they would need to integrate several different exchanges as well account for different opening and closing times. So they probably just picked one.
And LSE and TSE don't have as large a volume as the New York exchanges, so it makes sense to choose New York in terms of playability.

As for the "not even /pol/"
We just got this board, I would love to keep the /pol/-tier comments out. We are meant to be businessmen, we're not meant to care about countries. We're only in it for profits.

>just joined

>tfw fucked up my short selling

>>14712
Short sell something when you expect the price to go down.

>>14732
but its the best investment, investing in equity is just what the zionists want, only buy gold and land.

>>14725
its ur mum fagit :^)

i bet you aren't risking with new IPOs too, faggot.

>>14747
>Buy gold
So I can trade it for a lot of a inflated currency? Gold is not an investment, its a hedge. I do agree with land. Land, water, and food are the best investments. Producing I mean, not hoarding baked beans

How good of a strategy is investing in companies that have gone down, but are going up? I.E, getting in low, selling high? It feels like gambling, but I don't see this being more than educated gambling

>>14749

>>14843
>Oculus VR
That's not a publicly traded company, that's just some neckbeards working out of a basement.

You can just Google: [company] ticker symbol, and that will show you what the company trades as.

Started trading two days ago on polse. Don't have any experience in stocks.

AMD was a fucking bonanza.

The market contraction yesterday was fucking sweet as well. Unfortunately I had to work and got at my comp there too late to short sell the fuck out of some stocks, had to settle for 2% yesterday as the market corrected itself.

Oh god. Do I give Mr. Goldstein all of my stocks now? What exactly am I waiting for besides the big ass green numbers?

>>14925
Cisco + Pepsi yesterday was bull as fuck.

The winners are the one's that are the first to buy when things start looking good, and the first to sell when they start looking bad.

If you're looking for long term investments you may want to consider looking at companies that manufacture medical technology as it's something people will always need. They tend to be low risk investments so you won't get much short term.
