Everything you need to know about stock market (really)

[Sammun Mak]

I don't understand why people explain the stock market in such a complicated way. The rules you need to follow are very simple. This strategy isn't optimal but it's way up there.

There are 16 stocks. They have a "resting" price given by their position times 10, e.g. the stock's resting values are $10, $20, $30, ... all the way to $160. Buy the stock when the actual value is much less than that value, maybe half. Then, sell it when it gets back up to the resting price.

That's it! You can do more complicated things to figure out just how high your stock could go before you sell it, but it's not neccessary.

Yeah, the system is as simple as the rest of the game. You can math the crap out of it but it isnt really necessary.

Isnt the complain that there is no resting price knownable ingame? Like someone cant know about it without reading guides?

The system is simple yes tho, when you know about the resting price

[Basicball]

can someone post the resting price for each stock please?

All I know is that I read the entire stock guide and the entire stock section of the beginner's guide and was inundated with tons of information I did not need or want.

It's in order, you can just count up from $10. But if you want a reference, here: https://cookieclicker.fandom.com/wiki/Stock_Market#Stock_Market_Resources
The rest price is: 10*(ID+1)
You add plus 1 because the first ID is 0 instead of 1.

Buy low, sell high.

It still just ends up being random anyway. EGG which in theory has a resting value of $80 has been sitting at $7 to $9 for several days now, and the others aren't much better for predicting value or where it's going to go up or down. CRL with a resting value of $10 has been over $40 for quite some time, etc.

The main issue with the stock market is deciding when to do it, since you're basically lock yourself to that one ascension for at least a year more or less, unless you're really lucky.

It cycles every 60 seconds, you can get returns in days most of the time if you're careful. It definitely doesn't lock you into an ascension for a year.

It seems to me that whenever I buy something, the price tanks and stays down. Then if it eventually does go up, it goes up slowly. Then when I sell it, it shoots up and stays there.

And then when I start doing something other than staring at an idle game on my screen for awhile, I come back and see that 10 minutes ago the price of something either bottomed out(if I wanted to buy it) or peaked(if I wanted to sell) but is no longer... optimal.

All I have to show for it so far, according to my profit count, is a gain of just under 5 and a half hours of CPS from two weeks(it's my first run).


One thing to remember is that price changes are in percentages, so a price change of 2% is going to be a lot more dramatic at $50 than $5. It's actually bizarre though, I've seen prices of things like salt sit around $60 and rarely change more than $1 in either direction for days, while cheaper things like cereal and chocolate bounce like crazy(though rarely when I'm looking to profit).

i don't really know the math behind it i just buy all of a stock when it dips below 5 seconds of production and sell when it peaks or when it hits 10 and isn't looking like it will continue rising.
