Stuck In A Rut..

Posted by: MitchC on Mar 04, 13:49

Have any players encountered a period where they seemed to be "Stuck In A Rut".. so to speak, and couldnt seem to get out of a range for a long period of time.

I'll be playing the game five years this March. While I'm not the most adapt player.. I have accumulated a portfolio of 70 odd million, and am in the 80s percent range./

Until the last two months.. I was seeing slow. steady progress.. gains of3 to 5 million a month, which seemed fine. My goal was to hit 100 million by the end of this year. I was at about 72 million at the beginning of this year. It would have happended, had I maintined the 3 to 5 mil a month progress I was on.

Since the beginningf of the year.. I seem to be fluctuatng between the 73 and 75 mil mark, and cant seem to get out of that range. I have up to 10 stocks at a time.. all movies.. of.. more than 10,000 shares each, and dont usually keep a lot of cash in my portfolio, perferring to invext in stocsk that will gain.

I didnt have any bets on the Nominoptions, which I know now was a mistake.. but.. I was just seeking advice on what to do to get out of this rut, and say.. to make it to.. 80 million sometime in the near future. I was also wondering if anyone else had a period where they were in a rut. I play every day, and get my trading.. and classic cash/$10,000 in movie money in. I usually win Classic Cash severl times a month, but even so.

Any adivce would be appreciated. Thanks.

Play openers and play starbonds. There are often easy profits to be made on both, even close to adjust {nm} RogerMore Mar 04, 13:52

Can't be overstated, Starbonds. If you already play every day, trade on news. elchan2012 Mar 04, 16:09

Yeah, sometimes a Tuesday bond adjust is several million dollars -- BAM! -- if your fully committed. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Mar 04, 16:39

Bonds can keep your port growing, even when you make some bad investments in Moviestocks. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Mar 05, 07:16

The key to awards options is to pick one or two from runners in each category and short the rest. I made a killing off of awards options be CactusLand Mar 04, 20:44

Starbonds are by far the easiest (meaning least risk for the biggest gain) way to grow in my opinion. MattW Mar 04, 20:18
