Buy/Sell Guide
For the purposes of this guide, we are only going to talk about what you should be doing on your dailies run. While there are many different strategies to playing the stock market on Neopets, the easiest way to get involved is to follow these steps.
First, you only want to buy stocks that are exactly 15NP. This gives you the best ability to turn a profit. You can find “cheap” stocks by using the Bargain List. Next, when you find a stock that is exactly 15NP, purchase the maximum amount of shares you can buy (1000). It’s rare that in one day you find multiple stocks at exactly 15NP that you would want to split your purchasing power across. Once purchased, that’s your buying done for the day.
For selling, there is only one golden rule. Don’t sell at a loss. In the real world you may want to cut your loses when you see a company stock going down, but in Neopets, the prices are random and it’s rare for a company to actually go bankrupt. Infact there hasn’t been a bankrupt company in Neopia in several years. It may take some time to ride out the low, but it’s worth it. Generally speaking selling at the 20NP mark is a pretty safe bet and frees up cash to buy again. You can wait for stocks to double in price, but it’s typically unlikely that it goes much higher than that.
Price Changes
If you are looking to keep refreshing throughout the day to dump stocks. The prices only change twice per hour (28 minutes and 58 minutes past the hour). Use this to your advantage if you are looking to get rid of stocks at a particular price point.
