I would be charged a total of 40 NP of commission by Nigel.</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>So to save money, I sold all 500 shares of BB all at once.</b></div> <div> <B><IMG SRC="089b4560.gif" border=0 width="436" height="342" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></b></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>So 500 shares of BB made me 4000 NP.  I had 6692 NP before this sale, now I have 6692 + 4000 - 20 = 10,672 NP in my account.  WOOHOO!! </b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Now my next trip will be to the bank to deposit this money or I can buy more NeoStock with the money I've earned.   ~_^</b></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Sunyee's NeoStock Tips</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Now that you understand the basics to buying and selling NeoStocks, now comes the tough part ... when to buy and when to sell.  </b></div> <bR> <div> <B>I don't know why some shares of stocks can raise as high as 100 NP/share.  I'm also clueless as to what TRULY drives the NeoDaq market.  It is for this reason that in order to avoid losing money, I always go for bargain stocks.</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>I always buy low sell high.   </b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Case Study #1:</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Sunyee stupidly bought 800 shares of BB at 8NP/share.  (6400NP)  Thinking that 8NP/share for BB would be a bargain, she later on found out that it kept on dropping in value.  </b></div> <bR> <div> <B>One time it dropped to 6NP/share.  So to make up some money, Sunyee bought 1000 shares of BB NeoStock at 6NP/share.  So Sunyee spent another 6000NP on BB share stock.</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>The next day, BB dropped more to 5NP/share!!!  So to save some humiliation, Sunyee bought another 1000 shares of BB NeoStock at 5NP/share.  Which is another 5000 NP.</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>What caused Sunyee to buy more shares of a falling stock??  Well, this is Sunyee's theory of dilution:</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>#1 800 shares 8 NP/share 6400 NP </b></div> <div> <B>#2 1000 shares 6 NP/share 6000 NP </b></div> <div> <B>#3 1000 shares 5 NP/share 5000 NP </b></div> <div> <B> -------------------------  ---------------------- </b></div> <div> <B> 2800 total shares of BB  17,400 NP total spent </b></div> <bR> <div> <B>17,400 NP / 2800 share = approx. 6 NP per share</b></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>So the average share price of my entire portfolio for BB is really only 6 NP per share.  So if BB ever raises above 7 NP per share, I still made money, despite the fact I originally bought at a higher price of 8NP/share.</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>How does Sunyee know this??   Well, this is how the real stock market works too, but this is only true if I know that the company won't hit rock bottom or go bankrupt.  Since this is Neopets, I highly doubt BB will ever go bankrupt.  =P</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>But it didn't just end here.   Sunyee got greedy.  About a few days later, BB stock went up to 7 NP/share.   So Sunyee sold Batch #2 and Batch #3 at 7 NP/share.</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Then Sunyee waited an entire TWO WHOLE WEEKS for BB stock to raise to 9 NP/share, and finally Sunyee sold Batch #1 of BB NeoStock.</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Which means this is how much money Sunyee finally made:</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>#1 800 shares 9 NP/share 7200 NP - 20NP </b></div> <div> <B>#2 1000 shares 7 NP/share 7000 NP - 20NP </b></div> <div> <B>#3 1000 shares 7 NP/share 7000 NP - 20NP </b></div> <div> <B> -------------------------  ---------------------- </b></div> <div> <B> 2800 total shares of BB  21,200 NP total spent </b></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>So Sunyee spent a total of 17,400 NP buying BB, but earned 21,200 NP after a period of 2 nail-biting weeks.   Which means a profit of 3800?? , but NO!  Sunyee have to deduct the 60NP total commission charged by Nigel.  Which means she really only made 3740 NP.  </b></div> <bR> <div> <B>So is 3740 NP profitable???   Well, let's compare:</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>If one million NP in the Neopian bank earns around 350 NP a day, if it took Sunyee 2 weeks (12 days) to earn her 3740 NP.   </b></div> <bR> <div> <B>3740 NP / 12 days = 311 NP / day.</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>So in this Case Study, Sunyee didn't earn more money than what she could have made if she left her money in the Neopian bank (assuming a one million NP account).  But Sunyee learned an important lesson - she's NEVER buying another share of BB NeoStock ever again!!! =P</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>But another lesson to be learned here is it would have been worse on Sunyee had she not used this dilution process.   If Sunyee just waited the 2 weeks to finally get rid of her batch #1 of 800 shares of BB NeoStock, then she would have only made a 780 NP profit.</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>780 NP / 12 days = 65 NP a day.   </b></div> <bR> <div> <B>That would have been really bad and Sunyee would be a very unhappy Neopian BB stock shareholder.</b></div> <bR> <div> <B> </b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Case Study #2:</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Everything goes well and every stock Sunyee buys goes up in value in a very short period of time ... end of Case Study #2 =P</b></div> <bR> <div> <B> </b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Ok, so that's pretty much all there is to it.  Case Study #1 pretty much summarizes the worst case scenario Sunyee have had.  </b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Did you catch an Error???</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Also, did you catch the mistake Sunyee made in Case Study #1 when she sold the BB NeoStock??? </b></div> <bR> <div> <B>ANSWER:  Sunyee sold Batch #2 and Batch #3 separately.  Therefore Nigel the Chia made an extra 20 NP off of Sunyee's NeoStock sale.  Sunyee should have known better and sold both Batch #2 and Batch #3 as a SINGLE NeoDaq trade.  </b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Oh well, I'm sure Nigel needs the extra 20 NP to pay for the gas in his cool red sports car.  =P</b></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="08cf0790.gif" border=0 width="240" height="121" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></b></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
