ZOMG ANOTHER THREAD ASKING ABOUT INVESTMENTS. 8D

*fixes her caps lock button*

Anyway. But no really, I AM asking all you guys' advice, because I suck at reading the economy and I hate being a market/exchange whore. And I have a few questions about what I should do with my money to maximize my investments.

First of all, I'm a bank(see signature). This means I have pretty much a steady stream of income as far as gold goes as more people sign up for my bank to get free gold. Obviously it is up to me to make this gold for them. I'm not a market/exchange whore as I stated above; I don't have the time or the patience, and I don't really want to hire someone else to do the job for me. So instead I must use my gold for good long term investments that I can sell easily.

The items that the bank owns, I can do whatever I want with. Since I store items for people as well, that isn't necessarily what I'm wearing. I actually have a lot of items but right now I'm not exactly.. uh.. sure what they are. sweatdrop BUT I do know the prominent items I have invested in:

October 03 Letter
AFK Hat
OMG Hat
Nitemare Scarf
Angelic Sash

Those are the big 03's. I will need to go through all the items that everyone else has in order to find out what else I have invested in. sweatdrop I also have ~785k in gold.

I am wondering if anyone here has suggestions for what I ought to do with those items, along with my gold, to maximize my investments in the long run. I'll be adding the lesser items I have, soon. Thanks!

EDIT: Okay, here's the master list of all I've got, not including the 03 items.
2 Aug 04 Letters(also, 1 Golden Laurels)
4 Sept 04 Letters
2 Oct 04 Letters
Halloween 2k4 Set
Zombie GCorp Lab Coat
Human GCorp Lab Coat
3 Angelic Bracelets
1 Jan 05 Letter
1 Feb 05 Letter
2 March 05 Letters
4 April 05 Letters
4 May 05 Letters
1 June 05 Letter
7 July 05 Letters
3 August 05 Letters
5 Sept 05 Letters
3 Oct 05 Letters
4 Nov 05 Letters
3 December 05 Letters
Nitemare Parasol and Sno Yeti
2 Coco Kitties
1 Kiki Kitty
1 Demon Horns

To be honest, I'm.. not quite sure how all of that happened. o_O; I know some of those are really bad investments, so.. can I get some help? I know it's a lot. Even only a few suggestions would be a big help. I really need to consolidate this stuff. @__@

Heheh, not to mention the April 04s!

I think they were meant to be short term because at one point they were rising, but I never ended up selling them...

But my bigger question is, what would I buy instead? Should I get more Demon Horns? More 03 items/letters? Should I downgrade my Octobers? What about the 05 items, they are still pretty cheap, which of those should I get tons of? Should I get rid of some of my Nov 04 letters? The list of questions goes on... @__@;;

Basically I am saying, if you had all those items and 600k to play with, what would you do with it? What's the "ideal" investments you would buy the most of? Would you get the rarest donation letters you could or buy many different kinds? sweatdrop

Okay, thanks guys. I made some changes to the master list, as well.

I got rid of all my April, May, Nov, and Dec 04s, and bought a full set of 05 items. Thanks for all the help so far! heart
