Buy sell or hold!

[dragoncmd]

Ok everyone, lets play a game of buy sell or hold! You have 1000$, Here are your stock options.

Current prices (5/12/07
NOTICE: DOOM has split, for any share of doom that you held on May 12, you also have one share in RDCL (Redcloak + goblin army)


OOTS 11$ a share (their current market strategy seems to be to distract consumers from remembering the death of their CEO, and it seems toe be slowly working)
HNJO 13$ a share (still looking strong)
DOOM 7$ a share (one of the three leading board members has atarted his own company, taking with him some of DOOM's primary assets)
LIGD 5$ a share (going nowhere fast)
MIKO 3$ a share (in a race with LIGD to nowhere)
SNRL 14$ a share (lack of interest from investors is hurting stock prices, and the diminishing chances of a contract between SNRL and DOOM are lowing stock prices)
RDCL 7$ a share (A former high ranking executive in DOOM has taken control of the company's assets and created another corporation.

(5/8/07)
OOTS 10$ a share (Despite prospects of a return of their CEO, this company seems to have lost the trust of consumers, holding steady for now)
HNJO 12$ a share (A 50% price jump, Consumers are loving this one, and with an excellent buisness stragety unveiled, its no wonder why!)
DOOM 13$ a share (Slight lowering of confidence after their CEO was caught off guard when he found out that not only has he failed to buy a majority of HNJO's stock, but they have bought a large portion of DOOM)
LIGD 5$ a share (no change in prospects here)
MIKO 3$ a share (Still ranting in prision)
SNRL 16$ a share (it seems that hopes that DOOM would give a large loan to this company have been dashed, but SNRL is still in the market)

(5/4/07)
OOTS 10$ a share (amazingly holding well but only being sustained by the buyers trying to get in on the low price)
DOOM: 15$ a share (The CEO suceeded in a major transaction getting close to a hostile takeover of HNJO)
LIGD: 5$ a share (no major changes)
MIKO: 3$ a share (no major changes
HNJO: 8$ a share (losing control of multiple board positions due to DOOM's investment in their stock)
SNRL: 17$ a share (going up since HNJO has lost exclusive rights to one of the rapidly decreasing number of gates.)


OOTS: 10$ a share (an all time low price due to the death of Roy.)
DOOM: 12$ a share (extremely unstable right now)
LIGD (linear guild): 5$ a share (A real steal! They're in jail, but you never know what might happen!)
HNJO (Hinjo and co.): 10$ a share
MIKO: 3$ a share (in jail without powers, but blackguard prospects are still there! a risky bet but it could pay!)
SNRL (god killing chaos): 15$ a share (It might go up, but if it does you can't cash in!)

Whats in your portfolio?

Here's mine:
22 shares RDCL (154)
10 shares MIKO (30)
10 shares LIGD (50)
39 shares OOTS (429)
40 shares HNJO (520)

Net worth: $1223

[gadren]

100 Shares in OOTS.
Its all about long term investments, and you KNOW the protagonists will come out on top in the end.

[Mewtarthio]

80 Shares EVIL
8 Shares LIGD

Things always get worse until right before the climax.

I figure I'll just wait 'til it's down to one Snarl Gate, then sell everything, pick up some OOTS stock, and short a few shares of EVIL.

True. Is your plan to sell right before the OOTS comes up with that cunning , last ditch plan to save the day?

[Avatar God]

97 OOTS :roy: :haley: :durkon: :vaarsuvius: :belkar: :elan:
10 MIKO :miko:

Best of luck to Mewtarthio :smallsmile:

[BisectedBrioche]

100 in miko, 30 in EVIL to sell later and the rest in OOTS

[sikyon]

I'd need to see some graphs to determine what levels they were at before this comic, so I can better judge what sort of value I'm getting.

[kerberos]

200 in Miko and 80 in Lingear guild. What can I say, I like risky investements.

[Legendary]

70 OOTS
20 HNJO
5 LIGD
5 EVIL
5 MIKO

I'll sell later.

[Demented]

It seems I can't afford anything but a share in LIGD, or two in MIKO. Ugh.
Still, that's only because I put $880 in DOOM and another $114 in GOOD.

GOOD being at $19 a share. Falling, unfortunately. =(

[Curunir]

I'll buy 200 of linear guild

(I am so good, at wasting money. Even money, I don't have actually :smallamused:)

[fwiffo]

Here is my take on the market:

I'd like to short EVIL. They have nowhere to go but down long term. Might have a bump up if they acquire Azure City Enterprises, so might not be best time to short. But, hey, it is a hostile takeover, it is not going to work out in long term.

OOTS is the way to go long. They have viable long term business strategy, and even with their recent CEO resignation, they still have a lot to offer. Between their leading edge medical division and the recent recovery of their CFO, they stand to do well.

LIGD is a sucker's bet. Really, have they any successful products to show for their years in operations? High turnover rate, too. Maybe at a $1 they'd be worth to go long, but not at current level. And too risky to short - very volatile.

HINJO is also to be avoided. At $10 they are more than fully valued. Not a bad company, mind you, but for $10, OOTS is better bet to put money. Especially with new CEO still learning ropes, and the board of directors playing office politics.

MIKO is going out of business. That stock is heading to zero. Not even at $3 is it worth jumping in.

Not really sure how to go with SNRL. Is that company even operating anymore? I thought GODS shut them down.

Whats your take on GODS? you should be a stock analyist... oh wait you already are... 100 in OOTS please...

I disagree. LIGD is very good long term investment. The only trick is to take your money out before OOTS sues them. At the moment they are really down, but pure phsycs (pysics of plot, that is) tells us that at some point they are up again.

(advice for beginners: when LIGD CEO starts making speeches, it's time to take your money out.)

[Gashad]

200 linear guild; its bound to go up after the CEO escapes from prison and hires some new cool personal.

Team evil is at its peak now with thier rival company OOTS severly weakened by losing their CEO, its stocks can go nowhere but down since evil always loses.

While OOTS is bound to rise,I suspect it will fall first when they have to pay the expenses of resurecting their CEO, and hence this is not a good time to buy their stocks. Besides who can say that the temporary CEO wont steal from the company?

[K2]

All evil, and with the left overs I am going to buy ice cream!

[Moral Wiz]

100 LIGD

100 MIKO

20 OOTS.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for a gamble. With just a few OOTS just in case the LIGD CEO starts on the speaches again.

[Twilight Jack]

Give me 200 shares of MIKO. Sure, she's at a low point right now, but I sense a skyrocketting in the future. I don't think we've seen the last of her, and she only has to rise from $3 to $9 for a tripling of my investment. This seems far more likely than expecting OOTS to reach $30 in the near future.

I'll also take 40 of LIGD. It's a notoriously unstable stock, but $5 is the right price and I think I can sell on the upswing. Definitely a short term investment.

At $12, DOOM still has a bit more upward mobility to it, but I think I've jumped on this gravy train a bit too late to see the real returns. The time to invest here would have been just after the Dungeon of Dorukan.

I'm going to hold some cash in reserve to pick up OOTS. The recent forced resignation of their CEO has brought them tumbling, but I think they've still further to fall in the near future. That said, they are very nearly a sure thing for a comeback of meteoric proportions. I'll buy when they hit $7 or less.

HNJO is in some dire straits right now. I wouldn't dare invest there until I've seen whether the company will even survive the ongoing upheaval. I may pick up a few shares of this once the smoke clears, assuming there's anything left with which to rebuild.

MIKO 200=$600
LIGD 40=$200
Cash on hand=$200

[Jari Kafghan]

Right now I am going to buy, 83 shares of EVIL.

That leaves $4 for me.

That cool though because I plan on "day trading."

And you will never see me buying any shares in MIKO, their CEO is mentally challenged.

[Curunir]

And you will never see me buying any shares in MIKO, their CEO is mentally challenged.

I think that gives theire shares half the value. I mean: if she was sane and in this situation, his shares would cost a dime, tops.

[Jari Kafghan]

OH yeah, when will you be updating the prices?

[Winged One]

42 shares OOTS($420)
30 shares MIKO($90)
70 shares LIGD($350)
10 shares EVIL($120)
2 shares HNJO($20)

OOTS is definately the choice for the long run, I think we all know that. MIKO is dirt cheap, and quite honestly I'm probably flushing my $90 down the toilet, but it's not certain by any means. I may have a personal dislike for the company, but that's not going to stop me from putting a small amount in it just in case. I'm sure LIGD will get out of the mess they're currently in, and just as sure that they'll screw it up again, which is when I'll bail. EVIL...well, it'll probably go up a bit more, but not much. HNJO is almost certainly a waste of $20, but the the alternative is a share in SNRL, which is bloody useless, and expected to stay that way for a while.

[Moral Wiz]

Ok, Puting my analysts cap on.

DOOM. a gamble here. With the situation in Azure City, Doom either stands to rise or fall. A lot. This is just a straight up gamble, made even more unpradictable by their jocky of a CEO who can still somehow has exelent recruitment skills.

OOTS,Not recomended as a major part of the portfolio. It's good for the long term, but likley to fluctuate. Thus it's quite probable that there will be a beter point to make larger investments. However, one or two other stocks are in the gutter right now, with high odds of a rise. You can make more on short term that long term right now.

HNJO. If DOOM falles, this'll be due for a rise and a big one too. However, in the aftermath of current events, HNJO is likly to sink to MIKO levels due to destruction and property damage in their own "Homeground" A good long term then, but not right now.



But hell, that's just one analysts view.

[Fitzclowningham]

I think Miko is going to wind up saving the day, probably by thwarting an escaping LG. But at $.05, the Linear Guild is just too good to pass up. If it makes it up to a buck, that's 2000%. Miko'd have to get to $60 for that.

[Kioran]

What can I say, this is win or suck: 333 shares of MIKO and thne let´s see where that´s headed.....

[Moral Wiz]

LIGD, I mean Linear guild is at $5. Not $0.50, $5.

[Human Paragon 3]

60 Shares SNRL (you know it's going to skyrocket when he hits the scene, and it will)
10 Shares OOTS

[Izodor]

I stay loyal to the Linear Guild.

You go Nale!

[GoC]

dsfjdfaseg

[silvadel]

Lawyers for the win....

But given that I am going to:

Buy 666 Evil options at 14 for 2 months out(prob cost about 3/4 a piece due to the instability -- cost 500)
Buy 500 Lgld options at 7 for 4 months out(prob cost 1/4 a piece -- cost 125)
Buy 750 Hinjo Put Options at 7 for 1 month(prob cost 1/2 a piece -- cost 375)

[Kamakazee_Gnome]

Hmmm...

50 OOTS
20 HNJO
30 MIKO

[ladysekhmetka]

letsee...

100 LGLD
100 MIKO
20 OOTS

I'm rather young, and will have time to recover before retirement if this plan of action fails.

[NinjaCat]

50 Hnjo
40 Evil

[dragoncmd]

I'll try to update this whenever I get around to reading new comic after each update (that can be as short as a few hours, or as long as a week, don't hold your breath) unless anyone else wants to take over?

[Angafirith]

333 MIKO. What can I say? I'm betting that she won't just fade away from the story now.

[V Junior]

LIGN is on a cycle. It's going UP when they're fighting the OOTS then DOWN when they lose. They're always there to build pressure, so I'd give this a green light. I mean, if it goes up to just $10, I'd have double my cash!

OOTS? Well, it's a good choice from where I'm sitting. The price is LOW right now, which means when it comes back up again I'll be sitting on a big fat pile of cash. The CEO may be dead, but that won't matter here. He'll be back.
Edit: Wow, holding out WELL!

MIKO can only go up. Really, it's at an all-time low, but this is good, as when she comes back up (and she so will) I'll be sitting on even more cash. Good investment, and I don't need to invest much to win big time.

DOOM can go only down right now, I'm afraid. Invest or keep your cash. I'm keeping my nose out of this one.
Edit: I stand corrected!

HNJO is in dire straights. Their CEO has loads of people hired, sure- but he's losing them in a massive fight with DOOM. Also, they just lost their old CEO thanks to the CEO of MIKO. I'd keep my nose out of that one for now.
Edit: Oh draaaat... it's gonna crash, guys!!!!!

SNRL is still tiny, having been wiped out by GOOD. Stay out of this one; it's losing FAST!
Edit: Oops, but we can't sell. Dang...

100 in MIKO ($300)(total: $300)
20 in OOTS ($200) (total: $500)
40 in LIGD ($200) (total: $700)

I've got $300 left, which will come in handy later...

[Curunir]

As all my cash is already in the game

I'll be the first broker in this marekt. Invest your money into me for altealst 30 days and I quarantee atleast 20 % rise. There's no way to lose.

It's simple. It's easy. It's foolproof.

(Broker office takes 30% of profits as maintaining fees)

[rankrath]

let's see, I'll take 50 EVIL shares, 30 OOTS shares and 20 LIGD shares. heading off to sig my portfolio now.

[silvadel]

My hinjo put options are looking pretty good. My evil options also.

Looks like I am about to make a killing :)

[mikeejimbo]

I expect a rise in DOOM soon, though I'm not going to buy any.

[silvadel]

Evil always seems to make money until the end at least.

[belboz]

Actually, I think evil either just hit or is nearing its peak. I'd buy OOTS now, although EVIL was certainly a good investment when the OP made the first post (very short-term, to sell today).

Buy low, sell high.

[Legendary]

I'm selling my EVIL and HNJO for $260, which I'm dumping into 26 additional shares of OOTS.

[Legendary]

ACtually, what am I saying, quick, resell 26 shares of OOTS! Buy 21 EVIL, and 1 MIKO and 1 LIGD

That means:

70 OOTS
21 EVIL
6 MIKO
6 LIGD

[Demented]

I'm selling half my shares of DOOM (which must be huge by now) and am investing them in DURK(ON). :smallwink:

[inky13112]

I'll hold out for the price on OOTS to drop a little more before I buy any.

DOOM is clearly on the rise, and while I wish I had gotten in sooner, I can still salvage a little profit out of it. 45 shares in DOOM, 675$

LIGD will likely go up, but not in the near future, so I can put money there after my DOOM stocks pay off and I sell them.

MIKO, an obvious buy, this company seems very resilient, and theres no where for it to go but up. I'l buy 60 shares at dirt cheap prices 60 shares in MIKO, 180$

HNJO rapidly falling, and unlikely to curb that trend.

SNRL a good investment if it weren't so darned expensive.

Money left over, more shares in MIKO and DOOM! 7 more shares for DOOM, and 3 more for MIKO, leaving me 1$ in the pocket.

My portfolio:
DOOM: 52 shares
MIKO: 63 shares
1$ in pocket

[Snipers_Promise]

Im going to give one fourth of my stock to DOOM. The rest I save for latter.

[Demented]

Oh, the price of the stock does change.... Guess I should update the status of my portfolio (which was made before DOOM was on the list, I think.)

$114 in GOOD, which doesn't exist... Nobody's buying/selling it... So I s'pose it's going down to $90 after previous events. Losses of $24, for no reason. Guess I'll take that out and split it half and half in LIGD and MIKO, $45 (9 shares) and $45 (15 shares), respectively.

And, since DOOM previously was $12, my $880 in shares amounts to 73.33_. Guess I had a split share. Up to $15, makes that $880 into $1100. Sweetness. (Though, that wasn't one of the original stocks EITHER...)

And I sold half of DOOM and invested them in DURK, another nonexistant stock.
So that's now...

DOOM: $550 (36 and 2/3 shares (I really should fix that) )
DURK: $550 (???)
LIGD: $45 (9*$5)
MIKO: $45 (15*$3)
Spare: $6
Total: $1,196.

So far, so good.

Nothing like diversified stock.

Yeah, nothing like hundreds of dollars in stocks that don't exist. :smalltongue:

I'll keep my money in companies that are real personally, though I'm considering getting a little more in DOOM.

[Demented]

I actually did look, and DOOM, EVIL, or GOOD aren't on the Nasdaq.
In fact, none of those mentioned so far exist. Groovy!

Of course, one could always play with real stocks using pretend investment, but that wouldn't belong in this very enjoyable forum!

[Geilan]

I won't buy into MIKO because I have a sinking feeling the CEO's gonna sell out to BKGD and then it'd all be a wasted investment.

[Moik]

OOTS: As a publically-traded Crown corporation, OOTS is the safest bet as they have almost no chance of going bankrupt. However, politics can cause alot of cold feet and sharp sudden unexpected drops, as we see now. Sudden sharp unexpected jump are too rare. OOTS is almost an RRSP when considering gain. Basically, the best thing to do is vulture the stock after they've taken an unexpected drop (like now).

DOOM: Anti-trust suits. Anything DOOM gains by its numerous monopoly attemps can evaporate almost instantly and leave you penniless. You have to be quick with stocks like this. Definitely one for the bulls, but bears will get a strong allergic reaction.

LIGD (linear guild): Seasonal company. I don't buy pumpkin stock in October. This is because I don't want to deal with the traffic and maybe end up short. In this type of stock you aren't playing the market; you're playing the other traders, and I won't start that kind of fire.

HNJO (Hinjo and co.): Small company, very focused. They'll get a big slice of a small pie in the future, if they can hold off hostile takeovers from the multi-nationals. They've been experiencing alot of attrition recently, mainly due to unreasonable goals being enforced by uppermanagement, and headhunting from larger, better-paying companies. If they had more assets, this would be a good stock, however they haven't become entrenched enough to be unassailable. Again, bull stock, not bear.

MIKO: They recently had a very damaging liquidation of their assets, which proves that their management isn't up to snuff at critical thinking, and that's key for a long term business. I can't see a viable recovery strategy for them, and they are their own worst enemy.

SNRL (god killing chaos): This is actually a mutual fund of all the Snarls after they were broken up by the government due to a monopoly suit. This portfolio includes Atlantic Snarl, SouthWestern Snarl, Snarl Telecom, NorthSnarl, and Vonage. While they are techncially competition to each other, they don't actually get too cut-throat about it. Legislation keeps these guys locked down, so they can't turn out too profitable in the long-term, but they won't try and cut each other out of the business either. The thing to watch for is if the government will allow re-mergers of any of the components. For this to happen, regular competition within the industry needs to heat up. This is reasonable bear stock.

For me, personally, I'm going to hold off for the moment and let OOTS stock drop a bit more, then vulture as much of it as a I can. I think there might actually be a DOOM/SNRL(private enterprise) v OOTS(public enterprise) shakedown coming in the future which will loosen them up, but really; you can't fight the government.

Alright, $200 in Curunir, not that I think I will actually see a profit there, its just for fun!
And then 20 in Oots.
And 20 in Miko.
And 20 in Hinjo.
Yay! I'm in the "stock" market!
Kudos to the genius who thought this up!

Xykon will suffer a serious defeat, followed by running to Redcloak. Hinjo could go anywhere from here. The Order is due to show off some more; I'm getting impatient! Everyone else... hm.

[Osnagard]

I'm in, at the current rates I'll take;
50 DOOM ($600) at $12 per share
40 OOTS ($400) at $10 per share

Hehe, this should be interesting, Go Team Evil!

[Aegeus]

Ooh! A new SMBG! I'm in!

OOTS will take a short-term dive while hiring their new CEO, but they plan to reorganize to focus on their core competency (which is, of course, saving the day and beating the bad guys). I'll take 28 shares.

HNJO has made a very risky move. They sank most of their funds into countering the immediate threat from DOOM, which will drive their stocks up in the short-term. However, the long-term costs of war will be extremely costly. I'll take 40 shares, and sell rapidly.

DOOM will decline rapidly after HNJO's daring move. I'll wait on buying this.

LIGD and MIKO are stable, but MIKO's stock could be delisted if there's another downturn. LIGD, as a primary antagonist, can only go up from here. I'll buy 16 shares to round out my portfolio.

SNRL is an important plot point, which will sustain it's price for quite a while. I'll take 10 shares

Total:
OOTS: 28 shares, $280
HNJO: 40 shares, $480
LIGD: 16 shares, $80
SNRL: 10 shares, $160

Hmm, any chance of new companies entering the scene? NPCS perhaps, for all the random nameless people and their occasional bits of glory or infamy (Barbarian Guildsman, Cheap potion shop people, ninja waitress, various other peoples)

[F.H. Zebedee]

10 Shares OOTS at 10 each. (I trust this stock will be the greatest by far in the long run.)
300 Shares MIKO at 3 each. (A feeling in my marrow says she's gonna get a huge spike VERY soon. Maybe with 10 comics.)

This looks interesting...lemme put:

15 OOTS for $150 (sure thing; may suffer some short term losses)
150 MIKO for $450 (Nowhere to go but up)
40 LIGD for $200 (Good price; will go up IF DOOM can facilitate some expansion)

Leaving $200 in my pocket for future investment

[I_Got_This_Name]

Hmm. . .

OOTS is holding steady, and I can't tell whether they're likely to dip or gain next.

HNJO is rising, after a recent dip. Still, they're at a high as far back as the charts go. I'll wait for them to drop.

DOOM is still higher than when they started, but falling. I think I'll let them drop a bit first.

LIGD is in a pretty bad way, but they're business model has a history of getting out of pretty bad scrapes just like this one. This looks like a good medium-term stock. They've got nowhere to go but up, too.

MIKO is at an all-time low and may still go lower. This is for gamblers, but, at its share price, a few shares couldn't hurt.

SNRL is another gamble, and a highly-priced one. Besides, with this company's business model, if they ever get too big, the shareholders won't be around to enjoy it.

Put me down for:
33 shares ($99) in MIKO
100 shares ($500) in LIGD
30 shares ($300) in OOTS
$101 in the bank

[Yeril]

I buy 40 oots for 400$ and Ill invest 600 into 200 stocks of Miko! I see somthing special in her future so Im cashing in.

[Kamakazee_Gnome]

I'll now sell all my HNJO stock, leaving me with:

50 OOTS
30 MIKO

$450 on hand

[Gamgee]

50 DOOM ($600) at $12 per share

Im going doom, I see big things coming.

[Pink]

Hmm...VP redcloak's deviation from company plan will definatley have some drastic results for DOOM, and may also affect other companies, most likely HNJO, however, whether the affects will be positive or negative for DOOM is uncertain at the moment.

[Lizard Lord]

I will sell my stock in LIGD to buy 35 in RDCL

I disagree that Redcloak's actions have divided DOOM, as he still follows the same goal. That doesn't mean he isn't promising. He seems to believe that this action will somehow mitigate hobgoblin losses, and I'm confident in his leadership ability. Not to mention, that "northern army" almost seems to guarantee the outcome of the battle here.

What really matters is how this will affect HNJO and OOTS. I'm hoping OOTS goes up, as they acquire (or is it destroy?) a lot of DOOM stock (hobgoblins). However, this looks really bad for HNJO.

Also, LIGD and MIKO are looking like they'd be an interesting gamble....

Hmmm, a small gain so far. I'm going to hold constant at the moment, though RDCL is tempting.

All right, I'm going to sink my extra cash into 28 shares of RDCL. I sense big things in the short term for the goblin. Even if HNJO can move to block the expansion, it's going to cost him.

[Aegeus]

Well, my options have expanded because of the new appearance of RDCL! However, my investment in SNRL may not pay off, especially because of how DOOM is at a disadvantage with the loss of half its assets.
I am selling my 10 SNRL for $140 and buying RDCL with the proceeds.

Cash in at the bottom! Who would do different??

[rankrath]

hmmm, I thing I'm seeing some possible conflict between RDCL and DOOM, however, with DOOM's CEO in trouble with HIJO, I'm selling DOOM for $350, and buying 25 shares of HIJO for $325, then taking three more shares of RDCL for $21.

that gives me:
53 shares RDLC, $371
30Shares OOTS: 330
LIGD: 40 shares $200
HIJO: 25 shares. $325

[silvadel]

Ok -- I am going to sell 166 doom options and 166 redcloak options (both worth about 1 per as the options have reached par value) and throw them into more put options on hinjo for 1 month.

332 should get me another 500 options only this time at $12.

----

So I presently have....

500 Doom options -- expire 7/3 right to buy at $7. (worth about 1 per)
500 Redcloak options -- expire 7/3 right to buy at $7. (worth about 1 per)
500 Lgld options -- expire 9/3 right to buy at $7 (still worth 1/4 per)
750 hinjo put options expire 6/3 right to sell at $7 (practically worthless)
500 hinjo put options expire 6/14 right to sell at $12 (worth 2/3 per -- despite the current strength I cant be the only contrarian here so the options are worth more than you would think)

Current portfolio value = 1458 but very riskily invested.

Im holding 50 DOOM still.... I still feel big things are coming but it is going to take time..... however with RDCL I am very unsure of what to do.

50 DOOM Current worth 350$ -250$ from my original 600$ investment.... :smalleek:

I currently have 400Bucks left.... I think Ill wait before investing it. Come on DOOM I need you to pick up slightly so I can cut my loss....

[SPoD]

Hell, I'll buy 100 shares of RDCL at $7, they're on the verge of a hostile takeover of HNJO. Top me off with 60 shares of LIGD at $5.

Any chance we could see an IPO of EUGN (Eugene Greenhilt Enterprises)? I feel like this is a company ready to make a splash in the market soon.

[Gamgee]

Actually I have a small modification to make, I will still hold my doom stocks but I also buying 50 RDCL@7$ a share.



50 DOOM Current worth 350$ -250$ from my original 600$ investment
50 RDCL currently worth 350$

This all leaves me with 50$ to spare. I hope this pays off.

Good move actually, insider trading FTW!

I sell my entire stock and go all in on RDCL. 142 of them and 6$ change.

[Raven T.]

I don't consider it insider trading. It's like seeing what happens in an international market and investing accordingly before/as soon as the opening bell rings to start the day's trading.

Edit: Others did it, too; I'm hardly alone here.

Hey I'm founder of a fanclub for a homicidial maniac, it's not like I'm codeming you. :smalltongue: Still it is more like insider trading than what you descripe since if something major (the comic) happened before the market opens, no one would buy at the old price.

Yes but the thing is -- if the market is closed -- you can buy the next day at the open but it is still at the higher rate.... Technically the time between when the new comic is up and the new market report is issued -- nobody should be able to trade.

[Irbis]

Yeah, I agree. This is slowly turning into something like camping in FPPs. What's the fun in predicting what will go up if you can sell everything and pour money in whatever wins in last comic you saw?

That's why I haven't bothered with it. It might be effective, but it isn't fun anymore.

[SPoD]

Maybe the rules should be revised...when Rich posts his "New comic is up" thread, the time stamp on that freezes all purchases until the market manager can update the prices? Any purchases made in that time are null and void.

[Demented]

But woe be to the poor sap who has to keep track of all these things.
Better to just go on the honor system. People aren't treating this as competitive, are they?

[kerberos]

Maybe the rules should be revised...when Rich posts his "New comic is up" thread, the time stamp on that freezes all purchases until the market manager can update the prices? Any purchases made in that time are null and void.
True really, I'll revoke my purchase back to MIKO and LG.

[LordVader]

70 Oots, 42 RDCL.
$6 left over.

[Moral Wiz]

Ya. Prehaps better not cheat.

Reverting to 101 LIGD, 100 MIKO and what was left (I forgot how much) in RDCL.

Updating as soon as I work it out.

[Twilight Jack]

I will revert as well, since I agree.

I'm back to 230 of MIKO and 62 of LGLD

[Curunir]

I'll sell 140 LIGD (with no profit) and buy 100 of RDCL.


Actually, I was thinking: shouldn't the prices change very slightly considering the fact how many people buy a certain share (for example: Redcloak may burn the blue city and that would make the prices of RDCL reach the sky (from 7 to 15 maybe.) But evan if we don't see him on screen for a week but a lot of people still buy his shares it could rise a point. To demostrate the powe of fan willpower or somethin like that.

[Angafirith]

I'm going to hold onto all 333 shares of Miko for a while. $1 remaining.

[Indon]

I think I'll jump into this market here...

48 DOOM ($336)
50 MIKO ($150)
34 OOTS ($374)
20 RDCL ($140)

No cash remaining.

I'm going middle-term, I expect a boost in MIKO stock as assets are sold in exchange for more capability, OOTS is solid as is DOOM, and I have a good opinion of RDCL's leadership.

[Ink]

Hey, I want in on the investing too.

10 OOTS - 110
10 HINJO - 130
50 MIKO - 150
20 DOOM - 140
20 RDCL - 140
30 LIGD - 150

[Aegeus]

Okay, things are going downhill quickly for HNJO. I'm selling all my shares (for $520) and then buying RDCL (for $518)

:roy: OOTS: 28 shares, worth $308
:redcloak: RDCL: 94 shares, worth $658
:nale: LIGD: 16 shares, worth $80
On hand: $2

[Raven T.]

I will also revert my order. While I agree with the consensus we have reached, I would like to go on record stating that someone should have put this rule into play in the first place so as to avoid such a situation.

That changes me back to:
15 OOTS
150 MIKO
40 LIGD
28 RDCL
$4 left over

[David Argall]

$1000 new cash...

200 shares MIKO -$600 There has to be action in this stock, and it may be quite soon. Granted, there is a serious risk of a major drop, but the upside is even larger and more likely.

50 LIGD -$250 This is a longer term investment. The stock could easily languish for quite some time. Still, it has a history of recovery and so can be expected to show a substantial profit if one is patient.

21 RDCL - $147 Recent very good news makes this a sure short term winner. One should be prepared for a quick sale as a sudden drop is quite possible

0 other $3- enough for a cheap hamberger.

[One_Wolf]

Ok,

Id like:

54 shares of OOTS @ $11/share
16 shares of HNJO @ $13/share
66 shares of MIKO @ $3/share

[XBobbis]

Buying 200 shares of Miko, 600.
Along with 80 shares of LIGD for the 400 I have left.

The jail is bound to see some action soon, and just seeing them might be enough for a quick jump in the stock for some day trading.

[Ink]

Might as well go all in with the rest of my cash. Picking up 20 LIGD for 100, 20 MIKO for 60, and that leaves me with 20 in cash.

10 OOTS - 110
10 HNJO - 130
70 MIKO - 210

I'm betting all my money on Miko. With all hobos getting into the city, she might be seing some hostiles soon. 333 shares, please!

My policy for myself when I started this was after each change I would only get one chance to buy or sell or stay and that'd be it. I think it's a good policy.

I'll buy 300 shares of MIKO @ $3 = $900

EDIT: Also, current stock prices are 8 days old, we could use an update.

[Aegeus]

We really need an update. RDCL is soaring, HNJO is getting pummeled.

[Eco-Mono]

Opening trades
DOOM: 90 ($630)
MIKO: 90 ($270)
Holding $100.

Something tells me that the DOOM/RDCL break-up will eventually end in a hostile takeover orchestrated by DOOM. As for the other investment, I don't see MIKO going out of business any time soon; investing there seems a sound "buy on the rumor, sell on the news"-type strategy.

[Denalid]

This really needs a price update. I'm pretty sure that I'd be guilty of insider trading if I start now, since I've seen some company activities that haven't yet manifested themselves in the prices.

No offense to the OP, of course, but it might be better if multiple people were able to do the updates, perhaps in a thread separate from that in which buying and selling is done. Under the current system, time constraints on the OP affect price updates far too much.

[RedTopHat]

OOTS: 45 ($495)
DOOM: 30 ($310)
RDCL: 20 ($140)
LIGD: 11 ($55)

I'm hoping for a rise in LIGD, and a drop in HNJO before I make some buys and sells.

[DrivinAllNight]

Ok, might as well by while the buyings good,

Sarting with 1G, i'll take -
50 Shares of RDCL - Total $350
50 Shares of OotS - Total $550
33 Shares of MIKO - Total $99
Leaving 1 lone dollar leftover, just so I ain't totally broke :smallsmile:

Keeping the 110 for later.

[LordVader]

People should stop buying until the update, this is insider trading, and should be considered "illegal".

[Raven T.]

I'll just bide my time. I'm going to laugh if they don't update until RDCL is on the downswing.

[AyuVince]

Agreeing with Raven T and buying another 100 HNJO. Should my stocks go down, they'll go down with style.

[Xykon_Fan]

The way I see it, he hasn't updated this stuff the last four times he was supposed to, and since a LOT of trading has gone on during that period, and if he decides not to make everyone revert, I'd like to have my exchanges up BEFORE everything changes. I'll revert gladly if he decides to do that instead. This is more of a "Fallback" plan.

:xykon:_Fan

[LordVader]

I will laugh if everyone buys RDCL and then the entire army is wiped out. (I'm assuming at some point that DOOM will buy out RDCL?)

[Tolkien_Freak]

...someone wanna PM dragoncmd?

[Demented]

I will laugh if everyone buys RDCL and then the entire army is wiped out. (I'm assuming at some point that DOOM will buy out RDCL?)

Looking at the stock history, I'd vote for that.

[Raven T.]

This is fantasy. Evil cannot win.

But that doesn't mean one can't make money off them when the ball's in their court.:smallamused:

[Xykon_Fan]

I've decided that since I think the end is coming soon, and prices don't seem likely to be updated...I'm going to sell my RDCL and DOOM shares since I don't want to be stuck with them when Xykon and Redcloak are chased out of town. Thus:

46 Shares OOTS
38 Shares HNJO

0$ Leftover

:xykon:_fan

[DeadMech]

Insider trading alligations or not I'm going to take my chances.

The way I see it MIKO and LIGD on looking good for a rally. They only have so much room to fall. The pair are in fairly safe territory at the moment with little threatening them. I would be surprised if their stocks don't double up within minutes of their next annoucement. Only problem is waiting for their appearance. I'm going to favor MIKO. While I believe that LIGD will rise and remain more stable. MIKO has less room to fall.

I know that RDCL is going good. I know that OOTS is doing good. I don't expect either to face any specifically harsh difficulties. I'll sink here for reasons of diversification. Favoring OOTS because I like ethical funds.

SNRL and HNJO are both overvalued in my opinion. SNRL hasn't had a major announcement in longer than I remember. I like HNJO I really do but I think an adjustment is coming.

What I really want are the Azure nobles or Tsukiko to join the list of publically traded companies. I feel bad holding onto such a sizable chunk of my investment money due to nothing but lack of option.

151 MIKO at $3 a share
51 LIGD at $5 a share
17 OOTS at $11 a share
15 RDCL at $7 a share
$1000 invested/$1000 worth

[Denalid]

Still no update? If this continues too much longer, we need to rally for a new broker, or something.

[Tolkien_Freak]

I've PMed him, we'll see what happens.

[EagleWiz]

And DRGN stock falls 30 points

[Xykon_Fan]

Yeah, I PMed him yesterday and still no results. I think we should get a couple of people (volunteers) to be the new brokers, and they can come up with an objective system for setting the prices. Maybe based on the number of panels that go their way or the number of characters that haven't died or something. That way, they'll all agree on numbers, and someone can step in if they want to. Of course, we would also include a misc. "pat on the back" increase for the broker's current favorite group based on comedy? Maybe also increase stocks which lots of people are trading. Just my thoughts, good and bad, of course.

[Shoyliguad]

i can try, we should establish a commitee of like 3 people

OOTS 12$ a share (Going up for tricking the hobgoblins but still stuck in a tower)
HNJO 13$ a share (Near death expierence but still alive)
DOOM 4$ a share (going down from ghost army)
LIGD 3$ a share (no news)
MIKO 3$ a share (no news)
SNRL 9$ a share (becuase of the ghost attack it is unlickely the snarl will be released)
RDCL 13$ a share (Managed to enter the castle unscathed and army has taken courtyard)

this ok? did I miss anything? tell me if you want me to change and why...

[Raven T.]

I'd be happy to lend my assistance, if no one objects.

And if they do, well...:smalltongue: on you!:smallwink:

[Xykon_Fan]

I'd be fine with being on the committee, if it's alright with everyone.

So, if everyone who wants to play could voice their opinions within the next few days, nominating anyone for the three person committee, that'd be great. Other than that, I don't see this being followed up anytime soon by the original OP.

Either way, I'm hesitant to speak for the whole board, so please speak up if you have any ideas.

So, should it be Raven T. Shoyliguad, and myself?

[LordVader]

HNJO should be lower, remember, that includes AC as well and they are getting hammered. Also, I believe prices changed based on strip-to-strip performance- ie, after each new strip a new update went up.

[Shoyliguad]

I'll do that, thanks for the advice

[Tolkien_Freak]

For the record, if LIGD has no news, it should be at 5, unless it went down because of no news.

I'd like to sell 25 shares of DOOM, how do I do that (not good at stock market stuff)?

And since the new comic is up, we get an update, probably with RDCL stock going even HIGHER.

EDIT: Heh, I really need something to do with my life, I actually made an Excel spreadsheet for this.

[Lavidor]

i can try, we should establish a commitee of like 3 people

this ok? did I miss anything? tell me if you want me to change and why...

I'd say more like:
OOTS: 12$ (Going up for tricking the hobgoblins but still stuck in a tower)
HNJO: 8$ (Azure is taking heavy casualties)
DOOM: 4$ (just the CEO, and he's in trouble)
LIGD: 5$ (no news, so it shouldn't go down)
MIKO: 3$ (no news)
SNRL: 9$ (greatly reduced chances of DOOM contact)
RDCL: 13$ (Managed to enter the castle unscathed and army has taken courtyard)

Still waiting for 3rd person on commitee.:smallwink:

[Xykon_Fan]

Those last prices by Lav. look good. We'll be trying to figure out a way to make this all a little more balanced/objective. You know, actually having a set of guidelines for prices vs. just setting them at whatever feels right...then we'll pm each other the new prices and update here once we reach an agreement.

[Archonic Energy]

buy 83 OOTS @ $12

Remainder = $4

[EagleWiz]

DOOM at 4$! Il buy 25 more shares They have to do better then LIGD!

65 DOOM
40 RDCL
30 OOTS

10 Left

Total: 1170$

[Tolkien_Freak]

w00t! I just made $300 off RDCL (and lost almost as much of DOOM and HNJO).

Again, how do I sell stocks?

and if I knew a little more about stock marketing in general, I'd be willing to fill the 3rd open position.

[Xykon_Fan]

Just sell 'em. Say that you did it, and you do it. It's largely based on the honor system. I'll probably go through on Sundays and list who has what stocks as an update.

I think Shoy., Raven T., and myself already fill all the positions. It seems like we're making headway on a good system.

[EagleWiz]

You just say: I sell (Number) shares in (Something) You get Number times Current Value money and lose Number shares

To buy stock just say: I buy (N) shares in (Something) You get N shares and lose N times Current Value money.

What he said.

[Twilight Jack]

233 shares of MIKO ($699)
43 shares of RDCL ($559)
Total value= $1,258.00

Holding for now.

[Tolkien_Freak]

Alright, then, selling 25 DOOM shares for $100 total and 10 HNJO shares for $80, for a total of $180, and buying 15 OOTS shares with that cash. And one share of MIKO with the $4 I had left over before.

[rankrath]

cha-ching!:smallbiggrin:
I just made a ton of money off Rdcl, the only question is should I hang on to it, as OOTS looks like it may be able to out manuver them. Selling 13 shares RDCL for $169, and buying 15 shares HIJO for $120.

40 RDCL: $520
30 OOTS: $360
40 LIGD: $200
40 HIJO: $320

Total worth: 1400
COH: $49

[Meynolds]

Selling 6 shares RDCL to buy 6.5 shares OOTS

26.5 Shares OOTS ($318)
100 Shares MIKO ($300)
36 Shares RDCL ($468)
21 Shares LIGD ($63)
Total: $1149
Spare Change: $1

[Raven T.]

I also say we stick with Lavidor's prices and that also means I need to readjust my own portfolio:

Sell 28 RDCL @ $13= $364. Something tells me that this is as far as the company can go for now (if not, then I miss out on making money. Oh, well.) DOOM will be reabsorbed into RDCL in somewhat short order. $164 profit.

My OOTS stocks went up another dollar, as well. Another $15 profit.

I'll split the difference and buy 40 HNJO @ $8= $300 and 13 more LIGD for $65, leaving me $3 in my pocket.

UPdated portfolio:
15 OOTS
150 MIKO
53 LIGD
40 HNJO
$3 in pocket
Total Value: $1218

[Electric_Monkey]

ooh! ooh! I want in! Time to demonstrate why I keep all my money in savings accounts rather than stocks.
OOTS $12*40 - $480 - OOTS seems set to win out in the long run, but I think there might be one more dip to come, that I'm hoping to capitalise on.

RDCL $13*10 - $130 - May possibly take over from DOOM - too early for me to call yet. Looks to have peaked early, so I'm not risking much

HNJO $8*15 - $120 - I thought the $13 was overvaluation, but $8 might be worth a flutter

LIGD $5

DOOM $4*30 - $120 - I'm hoping to make money on this and dump them to buy OOTS - question is, am I too late already?

MIKO $3*50 - $150 Miko's clearly not through yet. I'm getting in while her shares are cheap.

SNRL $9

Cash 0

[Gaelbert]

Assuming we're running off of the prices on Xykon Fan's sig, I'll start with:
50 OOTS
50 MIKO
20 LIGD
25 DOOM
Cash Left: $50

[Xykon_Fan]

Yeah, we are.

[Shoyliguad]

I'm selling my 100 RDCL for 1300 and cashing that all in for 108 OOTS and no I don't do insider trading XD and leaving me with 7 dollars left over

[Ink]

I'm selling all my RDCL for $260 and picking up 90 MIKO for $270 and 2 LIGD for $10.

10 OOTS - $120
10 HNJO - $80
160 MIKO - $480
20 DOOM - $80
52 LIGD - $260

Net Worth - $1020
Cash - $0

...maybe we should get someone to lock this. It's continued in a different thread.
