The basics on how to achieve expert success.

How to achieve expert success.

How to get big moolah and not get killed.

• Short enough expensive stocks to get more cash initially. To make a substantial profit you need a lot of liquidity, and that means some small things. Look for stocks that seem to have very high peaks near the top of the graph so they may be trending downward. You don’t want to pick a stock that has a consistent upward trend. You want a stock that was pretty low the rest of the day, and then rose a lot around the start of the game. If it’s already overvalued, the trend is unlikely to continue, and shorting an overvalued stock will give you more cash to fuel the profit engine.

• Now wait. Right now you should have about 15,000K or more to sink into stocks – just wait until you get the news on what to invest in. As soon as you get news of something (the burger tastes good, the wind energy is increasing, etc.) it will sink in. It’s all in the same stock. If you get news of a company’s failure that’s really worth investing in, don’t bother closing your initial short to invest in a new one just yet, it’s worth it. do not have. Having a -200 profit on a short is not worth taking your foot off the gas, and you can always make it up later.

• When you reach a huge profit after the initial news based investment (2K, 3K), you will want to sell and reinvest based on the new news coming in. I have seen. It is best to sell as soon as new information about the investment becomes available. The only exception to this is if you have put all your money into a stock but it has not yet reached a reasonable peak of profit. Better for this situation is to just wait a while for the peak to rise, then sell it all and reinvest everything in new news stocks.

You’ll know you’re doing it right if your net worth/profit is steadily increasing by thousands of dollars from each sale/reinvestment.

• Keep track of your short stocks. You will have to close with the profit you are eventually making. Once you reach a large profit level – feel free to sell enough to cover your short purchases. I recommend doing this only when you have news of a new short that is guaranteed to go down.

I find it best to look at the new short stock you want to invest in before buying the previous short out. It seems obvious, but the game sometimes gives you short tidbits about a company that’s already completely broken. If a stock has reached the bottom of the graph and has nowhere to go, don’t bother shorting it. You generally want your shot to be able to travel down the barrel rather than bouncing up and down.

Go through 3-4 stages until you reach the profit needed to pay off taxes/debts by the end of the game.

that’s it. If you follow the above you should eventually have enough wealth to pay for everything and be successful.

Here are some more general tips that I’ve found useful:

1. Dividends are worthless. They usually earn you very little real profit, and you’re likely to make a hemorrhaging amount of money chasing them.
2. Many of the news events you receive will be redundant and will not affect the stock. Generally you should only care if it clearly mentions the company name, or is directly related to a business sector (ie energy/luxury).
3. Always subtract how much you have reduced from the actual amount/profit you have. If you buy back 5K in shorts you don’t have a 15K profit – you have 10K. You’ll see a hitman with a tommy gun or a dude with spiked arms from the fighting game BioFreaks.

good luck!
