This is the real way to make money folks. Not violating the EULA and RoC that keep the Game Economy Safe and stable by selling fictional gold to posers, and in the end getting your accounts banned.

You want to make real money sitting on your butt playing a game?
Try owning the stock.

For my modest investment of 25 shares in NCSoft (036570.KS) since Mid February I have already made over $400 hard currency, just by sitting back and playing my game legitimately. If all goes as I expect when Factions goes gold, I anticipate that doubling practically overnight.

If Factions even does 1/2 what they did in growth from Chapter 1, you will be rolling in cash by Qtr 3. Not to mention the upcoming releases of AutoAssault and Tabula Rasa. Its a good time to own NCSoft...

Get in while the getting is good...

Lol man, you I think you used that title us poor people to find a money making scheme that will be used time and time again to the better of the "slum" conditioned persons such as myself to better this idea in hopes of a rich life in where everyone controls a little bit of Guild Wars in the virtual world...but I like the stock idea too.

yea its a small shameless plug, but I think many often forget that this release will be huge... The FPE proved that. And the stock is El cheapo atm... I just could not resist it...1 US$ is like 970 Korean Won... so the price is not that bad actually...

Joh · Apr 08, 2006, 12:08 AM // 00:08

Yeah, I'd probably invest in Nintendo too. Revolution will probably raise those stocks like crazy. o.o

twicky_kid · Apr 08, 2006, 12:20 AM // 00:20

If I had money I'd be investing into DIRECTV.

In 4th quarter 05 they had a growth of 25%!!!!

most companies do good with an 8% growth.

I'dunno. Revolution will do good in Japan but not in America. I've heard my little cousin and his friends talking, which kinda represents the gaming market today. They don't care about graphics or quality, they just want cool sounding games with good titles. Dumb little shits.

If anything, when Apollo Diamond goes public that will be the company to invest in.

I think the problem here with most of us is that you actually have to have money to make money

Unfortunately i'm entry level on my career path so im not making to terribly much money right now, and student loans will be eating me alive soon so i wont have to terribly much extra money to invest. Also my attempts at investing have been futile :P I've lost money every time.

The way that the Revolution has been buzzing with "actual" gamers, I'm pretty sure that it will do fine here and in Japan.

For those of you who are blue collar like me, the answer to making money is
"401K". Time passes you by very quickly, and believe me, the little you put away now adds up over the long run.

How much US did your 25 shares cost you?

Englishkid · Apr 10, 2006, 08:37 AM // 08:37

Use a currency converter such as this one:
http://finance.yahoo.com/currency
to get the conversion rate for Korean Won to US Dollar.

Then go back to the NCSoft stock price graph that the original post linked to.

With those two graphs you should be able to calculate the approximate US Dollar price per share at any time in the last year. I leave the graph lookup and calculation as an exercise for the reader.

You need to have a brokerage or trading account. Check whatever bank you normally do business with. They might have a related brokerage firm. Go to their website and look for brokerage or investing links.

You could also click around on the little stockbroker banner ads on that stock price page linked in the original post, or just type "stockbroker" and "uk" into Google. If you are from somewhere other than the UK, substitute the appropriate location.

If I had the money I would be investing it in my bank account ^^. Not old enough to own stock :S :S :S

Count to Potato · Apr 11, 2006, 07:59 PM // 19:59

This is Guildwars not real life, who cares if you made real money?

cyberzomby · Apr 11, 2006, 08:16 PM // 20:16

ahaha nice job Ingram.
Tempting to invest a little bit 2. Would be my first investment.

Wondering If I can, and If the shares arent to high at the moment.
Never ever tought of investing in game companys like NCsoft that got a golden game but are tiny.
