1) I'm not amazing at playing the stock market so you might get better tips than mine but I've found the best approach is to look at the historical graphs of the stock's performance. If it is an all year low, the chances are it will rise again at some point in the future so worth putting a bit of cash into. Although "past performance is not a guarantee of future returns."
2) If a stock's value starts to plummet and you've already lost capital, especially after you've bought in at a historically low price, don't panic and cash in as it is better to sit tight and wait for a rise (which it almost inevitably will do at some point). Some stocks can be good be useful for short term gains but others are much longer term.
3) Although the old adage says 'don't throw good money after bad', in the real world (my work actually involves investments in shares) it can often be a good idea to put more money in if a stock value falls, if you have confidence in the stock rising in the future (again, the history of stocks can be a good indicator of this), investing new funds in at low cost can split your potential losses while giving rise to greater gains in the future, as the average price at which you bought the stock is reduced.
4) Think about what potential stock benefits you may want. For example, free energy cans or FHC can be useful for stat gains, increased interest rates useful for banking (although I believe the returns are fairly neglible). As I already am comitted to remaining in such stocks, I often buy more when the value falls and then sell when they're in the green. This means I'm slowly reducing the price I paid for them while also retaining the stock benefit.
Hope this helps, although like I say, some more experienced Stock Traders on Torn might want to weigh in to give advice (and if I'm wrong - tell me haha)
Been away from Torn and quite a bit has changed! I've googled/searched on here for info on this but was wondering whether someone can give me advice on drug free training?
My options appear to be cans of energy drink, hotel coupons and dvds but I'm unsure as to the best combo to effectively train my stats up.
If anyone has any advice or can point me in the direction of a thread that would be great. (Also if you could avoid jargon as I'm not torn savy...basically assume I'm an idiot and you're half way there ;) )
Does anyone know whether the type of armour would have an impact on dexterity? For example, heavier armour would help more with defense but might decrease dexterity, resulting in more hits being scored.
I tried looking through the forums to see if this had been raised but turned up nothing.
Hell, even if its not a feature, would be good if it was!!
It would be relatively simple to put something in place such as a minimum sell price, i.e. if it falls below 'x' amount then it won't sell. I've played around with AIM shares in the UK and this is a real life feature which could be implemented in Torn.
I've only found a handful of items but one of them was a pair of Boxing Gloves stat enhancers. Think they were worth a couple of hundred million at the time (this was a couple of years ago!).
Definitely helped getting me started in Torn!
EDIT: You'll need about $700mil to get enough FHC shares though I think. Ouch!
ColdStranger posted some good links and are worth checking out. I recently wrote this for someone asking the same question:
Obvious one - Buy low, sell high haha.

Excellent Krystal thank you!! Much more than I was expecting.
Yeh I know drug free is a silly choice, I don't know but I'm happy with it.
From these links (especially bogie's) it appears that best solution would be to max happy with dvds, refill using points and refill using hotel coupon.
