10 Tips for new players (0-20 MIL)

Posted by: Port Value League Admin (a.k.a Rocket123) on Nov 14, 20:38

Just posted in my PVL league, though I would share for the newbies. There are many strategies and tips out there for various port sizes. However, for quick advancement, a basic foundation needs to exist. Trial and error works, but it is the slowest method avail. Thus, I offer these 10 TIPS for STARTING PLAYERS to consider. Read from Tip 1 to Tip 10, as they follow each other (bottom to top).

Tip#10 - Project Genome and Numbers are your best for starbonds, but they each calculate differently. PrG calcs based on CURRENT movie value. Numbers calcs based on projected delist value.

TIP # 8 - regardless of how big you get, DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH A LOSING STOCK! Everything in your port is for sale at some point.

Tip#7 - Free money is good. Play the "Earn H$" Games. Chance at up to 70K per day = 490K per week = 1.9 Mil per month = 25 480 000 per year of FREE money. Now, you won't win all the time, but it's still free money...free money is GOOD.

TIP#6 - you haven't made a penny until you exceed 2% growth on your investment. Then, you only break even.

TIP#5 - Watch out for the 1% commission. It hits you on both ends. Therefore, every sell/buy or flip is 2% more. Be sure that whatever trade you are doing is worth the 2%.

TIP#4 - dabble with the OW adjust if you want, but starbonds are where the money is after the adjust. Be sure to buy a couple/few weeks out for the big returns. The next week is usually a low $gain, but 3 weeks out or so and there are lots of H$ avail.

TIP#3 - Big movies have LOW DROI. Don't try to play with the big boys until you are one.

TIP #2 - one "word": DROI (Daily return on investment). Maximize this and you maximize your moolah!

TIP#0 watch for news, especially on the Announcements board. News moves stocks and bonds. {nm} ndmaster Nov 15, 13:22

While I don't disagree with this tip, I would argue that for small ports it is risky to buy/sell according to news that... Port Value League Admin Nov 15, 20:05

lets see...several bonds are attached to a blockbuster. other bonds are detached from said blockbuster. these are too risky? ndmaster Nov 15, 22:59

I don't have the corner of the market on good advice. I just thought it would be helpful to post some for a change. Port Value League Admin Nov 15, 23:36
