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...

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

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.

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.

This is absolutely THE best advice for young people starting out in new jobs!!
I would say contribute the MAX amount the company will let you do. Do it as soon as you can so that you won't "miss" the money coming out of your check. If the company matches your contribution then you are setting on a gold mine for when you retire. Do yourself a favor and search out investment calculators on the net and just see how much your 401K will be in jsut 10 years, let alone what it will be worth when you retire.

LOL.....um no

If you are around 20-25 401k will not be around when you retire just like SS will not be. Companies are phasing their 401k and other pension plans out as we speak.

You cannot depend on anyone else for retirement. If you do you will be burned.

Best thing you can do is long term CoDs and bonds for long term capital. Also find companies that have high dividen returns to invest in. Stock traders are after opporunity to sell and make a profit. They also lose a lot of money as well doing this. Best thing is finding that high dividen stock investing and sit back. Take the dividens from your stock and invest it elsewhere.

Gold is another way to go as well. Gold is the basis of our money system. Since inflation is on the rise you are about to see a huge jump in gold prices if the trend continues. Buy now while its low and wait.

401K will be there.. company matching may not though. If you have company matching, always do in your 401K at least the minimum to get maximum matching. Hey, it's free money. Don't also forget that 401K investments are pre-tax dollars, so $100 per month will lower your check by less.

It's just smart.

Without company matching 401k might as well be another savings account. Company matching is the only benifit. If you loan against it early you will get huge penality fees.

For my generation its not a very good idea. Budget your money wisely. Work out a savings plan and stick to it but leave yourself enough room to make adjustments as the econemy changes.

Anyways if you like stocks there is only 2 type I'd invest into. One is toy companies. They will always have a steady market because kids are being born everyday. Children also out number adults and very easy to make many follow the same paths through advertisements. Toys are always very expensive and dirt cheap to manufacture.

Oil is the other market. Don't look to the big brands though. Many times small brand oil companies pay higher dividens then the big guys and will make you more money. Either way you will make money. You want gas and they have it. Its the current day monopoly. Right now alternative energy is in its infancy. It will be many many years before they will have any serious competition. If the current studies that show that oils is being synthisized within the earth and is a renewable source its grasp will get even tigher.

Anyways food for thought.
