Stock Market FAQ
What is the Stock Market?
The Gaian Stock Market is a place where you can invest in companies and hopefully make a profit by trading shares with other people.
What are Stocks?
A company can choose to offer a percentage of itself to the general public. This means everyone can invest in this company if they want to. When you want to buy a portion of a company you need to buy a share. A share is the name given to that portion of the company. This doesn't mean you own the company, it just means you have invested in it.
Is there a limit to the number of shares that I can buy?
It really depends on gold shortage. So for right now, you may only cash into 1000g a day.
How do I choose which stock to buy?
This is completely up to you. Buy stocks of products that you believe in, or think are a good business idea. It is usually good practice to also buy stocks that are quite low in price, this way they usually will go up and not down. Alternatively some people prefer to invest in stable stocks that have always been high.
How do I buy stocks?
To buy stocks, send a trade to my account with the name of the company you wish to invest in, and how many shares you want. The companys pricing will be listed below.
How do I sell stocks?
PM me telling me the stock you wish to sell. I will erase how many shares you wish to sell and send you the gold for those stocks.
When should I buy my stocks?
It is generally better to buy stocks when their prices are quite low, although you should be quite confident that the stock price is not going to fall lower. Try to follow what a stock price has been for a few weeks before buying. If the stock price suddenly dips, that is normally a good time to invest.
When should I sell my stocks?
It is generally better to sell stocks when their prices are high, or they have increased since you bought them. The aim is to make a profit by selling your stocks at a higher price than you bought them for. If a stock suddenly shoots up, it could be the right time to sell.
Can you make gold on the Stock Market?
Yes, if you sell your stock at a higher price then when you bought it then you will earn gold, but remember if you sell your stock at a lower price then you will lose gold!
What does Open mean?
This is the opening price of a stock - the price that it had at the start of the day.
What does the Qty mean?
This is the number of shares that you have of a particular stock.
What is a Bull Market?
A 'Bull' market is when the market is up. This means stocks are rising and things are looking good for most companies.
What is a Bear Market?
A 'Bear' market is when the market is down. Stock prices are falling and things are not looking too good for the companies.
What is a Commission?
A commission is a fee that someone charges you for using their service. Whenever you want to trade shares remember that I will charge 100g commission on each trade you make!
How do I view my stocks?
All stocks will be listed below.
