I put all of Franklin's money into one of Lester's "tips" after the previous two small investments paid off. Has moved 0.3% since

The Bawsaq page on the social club shows amunation up 140 over the last 7 days with no negative points at all - Im sure leaving cash there will never be a bad move!

The stated increase is usually not real and is a little broken or at least it was, for stocks to always go up the company has to continuously improve compared to yesterday.

Bawsaq seems to be working properly now with the prices updating correctly

I had a decent amount in HAL which was $1 each share at the time and now after a week of the game being out and the shares price being slightly broken it's jumped to $1.2.

Put $7m into it now, if the price hits the past high of $50 I'm buying 2 golf courses.

Is that even possible?

The bawsaq market never changes in my game - everything stays the same price. No matter how many times i've restarted etc.

For those blowing up the competition (I bought Air Emu stocks, so was destroying around 50 Fly US jets at least on Friday and yesterday), it's a very slow and tedious process. You'd be better off starting a new game or going back to an old save, and just leave the assassination missions till after completing the game.

Last time I checked, after investing $20M on Air Emu, in all that time I focused on destroying Flu US jets, I only have 1.65M profit so far to show for it.

bawsaq is controlled by online player base and it's starting to work a bit now, a load of stock actually went up as well as down yesterday.

If it would work for more than 5 minutes at a time it would be very helpful!

Can someone explain to me what would actually cause the ammunation stock to go down? They have no competition and people will constantly buying from them, I don't see what could go wrong.

As I said earlier - The one time I got into bawsaq amunation had 0 nil zilch fluctuations, it either leveled or went up - No other stock does that.

Can you hold up an ammunation? Or constantly bomb their stores. Might affect their price but I'm just speculating.

For stock price to go up it needs to be selling more and continuously doing better.

For ammuination the stock price will likely level off and then rise during the weekend and fall off on monday and during the week as less people are playing at that time and hence less are spending money there.

It seems Rockstar overreached with the whole stock market thing. I'm 70% finished with the game and that seems to be the Only way to make Big money (heists aside), the whole property things is terribly delivered, how can they have made it so imbalance when they had it so right in VC..... and when it's all said and done, the stocks don'r work like you would expect them to.... except in assasination missions.
Let down by this big time

Checked again today and it is at a record low. 5 hours earlier (as in before I was playing) it was a record high! :mad:

Did you check your portfolio rather than the stock price movement?

Yeah, hadnt moved much so I looked at the history graph to see if it was doing anything, and seen a rather quick drop. Checked the highs and lows thing beside it and it went from record high to record low.

Other than the first Franklin/Lester assassination mission, which is mandatory to progress, they're best left until after you've finished the game. I've just finished the last mission, and this is the nest egg I'm sitting on...

Which mission was it? Because I know for the Vapid investment, I had to blow up a few cop cars for the price to rise.

The others tend to rise a few seconds after you complete the mission.

Yeah, buy yourself some RPGs, sticky bombs and go on a tear against the cops. It doesn't matter if you survive btw, just make sure you destroy a good few cars in about 10/15 minutes.

Nice!

Is that just from assassination missions?

How much are you left with when you complete the story, roughly?

Pretty much through the assassination missions yeah. I'd made $38 million from the final heist, and added to what I'd built up from the story, I'd a shade under $39 million to play around with in the investments. For those, I'd remembered what company I was investing in from when I finished it the first time, so went all in.

Brilliant, can't wait!

I haven't really bought much, only spent about 400,000 altogether and I still have a good 20 missions or so to go, plus the rest of the assassination missions.

Kinda wish they had a shared bank account, its annoying having to switch and invest all the time....but it's great watching your profit going up!

There is a temptation to maximise your profits, but be careful. When they top out, they really only stay there for a short time. Time enough to switch through all the guys and sell everything. If you leave it too long, then they drop. And the drop fast.
