Playing & Trading Strategy

OK, a real answer. I've made you wait long enough.

I notice you own 57 positions (as of right now). You do realize there are several thousand securities you could take a position in (notice I didn't say buy).

Experiment. Invest in bonds and bigger movies. Don't be afraid to lose a bit of money. Cut your losses and keep your winners.

Try out a new strategy on a few stocks and see how it works. if it does, keep it up, if it doesn't, try something else. Be creative in building your strategies.

So when my port was smaller than I am right now I had no problem using up all of my money.... Quickslver99 Feb 06, 11:30

yes ndmaster Feb 06, 11:54

I had this same issue around th same time as you. I sorted it by.... tatoufan Feb 06, 12:33

Haha thanks for your compassion {nm} Quickslver99 Feb 06, 12:39

You have to adjust your playing style accordingly. Main thing that comes to mind (aside from starbonds) is for you to look at slappydavid Feb 06, 12:31

Thanks for the good ideas. I just don't want to have a lot of cash reserves because then you can't maximize your port. {nm} Quickslver99 Feb 06, 12:40

If you don't have any good ideas, cash is OK. ndmaster Feb 08, 22:32

I figure: More money, more problems. {nm} Panda Feb 06, 15:53

Making money is the object of the game. Eventually a point is reached when you have more money than things to invest in... {nm} slappydavid Feb 07, 04:34

the challenge with the largest ports is that they have enough money and tend to invest in too many things {nm} RazorHawk Feb 07, 07:29

I came here to post the same thing-any hints or tips from the billionaires+? I have >200 mil in cash but am afraid of slow bleeders. {nm} forlorne Feb 08, 08:58

would making mirrors of successful funds be worthwhile? {nm} forlorne Feb 08, 08:59

no, following someone else's trades won't help you learn anything ndmaster Feb 08, 22:28

I normally keep around 200M in cash, and your port is bigger than mine, so I don't know how much I can help you... slappydavid Feb 08, 10:27

Why be afraid of slow bleeders? With spare cash they can be your friend.... {nm} srrichardson Feb 11, 08:22

You move some money to slower, safer investments (bonds being one good option), and you keep some cash on hand for opportunities. {nm} jjmarino Feb 09, 15:34

This is only a game. It is not real. Why are you afraid to lose fake money. mike255 Feb 09, 15:13

Because what if KaiGee never comes back? ZOMG!!! {nm} jjmarino Feb 09, 20:09
