With stock exchange, it all depends on what strategy you want to use. Stat fillers like G wallace and marion are great. I played last year and had a team of 3 or 4 guns and a few bargains. I also had another team of evenly priced guys. The former was better. This year i have gone for guys like al jefferson, bosh, joe johnson, but also going for cheapies like ridnour. Its always hard to make money. Ben wallace has gone up a lot (??) and guys who are bargains like tyson chandler have hardly gone up at all. Oden made me around $15. Id go for a team of half great players and half cheapies. Your team will have more success and if your guns fire and then you get cheapies like wilson chandler, tyrus thomas or ridnour to pick up the slack. I found that once you start spending over $40 on players, they start losing value. i.e. you can get around 27 fantasy points per game from okafor who started at $27. But you spend $45 on Nash and you will get only a few points more per game.
