Playing & Trading Strategy

I'd suggest that big IPOs move in predictable patterns and don't take a lot of time.

Posted by: RogerMore on Nov 08, 19:58 in response to DiNar0's post Day trading is good if you are willing to spend hours and...

For example - buy the big IPO at the IPO price on Saturday. Check back on Sunday evening to sell the stock. Easy gain, and not much time taken.

But it's also not the way to play if you are focussed on maximizing gains - trading stocks with the highest % changes, checking the boards for news, making sure you hit the peaks and troughs etc.  Obviously this takes more time and should earn more money.  But if you don't want to spend the time, there are still ways to day trade that allow for modest (but still worthwhile) growth.

Does an IPO price reflect the interest in the IPO? Baron_Darcon Nov 07, 20:23

That's one way of saying it. ndmaster Nov 08, 07:13

IPOs are expensive game strategy. Not financially of course but time wise. Especially big movies and those opening in more than a year. DiNar0 Nov 08, 09:56

IPO's are pure gold for day traders. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Nov 08, 15:26

Big IPOs are good if you have lots of $$$ to keep tied up. I'll get there eventually. If I had a tons of $$$ this would be so much easier. {nm} Baron_Darcon Nov 08, 16:16

Everyone says that. Believe me that is soooo NOT TRUE. Playing Style changes based on the amount of CASH you have, not port value. DiNar0 Nov 08, 18:10

Yeah I realize style changes depending on your CASH. Baron_Darcon Nov 08, 19:51

Starbonds dude. You can thank me later, when you reach 50m, I'll be around. :) {nm} DiNar0 Nov 09, 04:34

Thanks for the tip. I realized the importance of Starbonds last week. Just need the patience for them now but they'll pay off. =) {nm} Baron_Darcon Nov 09, 12:46

Just a lot o' bucks! {nm} GruntNoNeck Nov 08, 20:31

You don't have to buy them all, and if the IPO price increases by 10% then taking away commission that's an 8% gain for your port RogerMore Nov 08, 20:52

Openers trumps IPOs most of the time. Especially Summer. I agree. But SB is essential to port growth at any level..... {nm} DiNar0 Nov 09, 04:33

Well, unless you'd prefer to have a higher difficulty level for port growth. Which I am doing now. DiNar0 Nov 09, 04:39

There's the same dynamic with starbonds - it depends what the adjusts will be. And also, if an IPO is moving faster than a starbonds coming RogerMore Nov 09, 06:04

Good one! {nm} DiNar0 Nov 09, 12:11

I do see your point. Just that since turning Billionaire (love the sound of that), I buy and forget all IPOs until it reaches my threshold DiNar0 Nov 09, 04:31

Yeah it'd be nice to be a bilionarie to just invest in IPOs and just forget.... Baron_Darcon Nov 09, 09:40

just a quick thanks for all the tips in this thread, my ports worth 125m and I still know so little about trading and this game in general. {nm} Exogen Nov 10, 11:08

You are already on the right track! Reading forums and asking questions, that really improve your tradings. {nm} DiNar0 Nov 10, 18:42

If you hold stocks less than 24 hrs that's daytrading to me. New players need tips that don't require constantly checking their ports {nm} JDolphin Nov 10, 17:35

Yup. Hours online is not for everyone but Starbonds adjusting within a month are more essential to any strategy. Almost guaranteed profits. DiNar0 Nov 10, 18:38

Yeah Starbonds are essential but most of the gains are absorbed or pre-absorbed to it's harder to find the untapped diamonds. Baron_Darcon Nov 10, 22:44

Or you could just go to howprofitable.com/hsx and click the date you want {nm} JDolphin Nov 11, 13:35

Big profits comes with big risks. Almost guaranteed profits are normally minor profits hence easy money. {nm} DiNar0 Nov 11, 10:17
