Stock Market Guide: Make $2 Billion
By: nruhdal Date: September 26, 2013, 10:50 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Okay guys, a lot of you guys have been asking about the Stock
Market, so i'll start out with a guide related to the
single-player story. This is one of the only posts on GTAForums
that actually makes sense. My only problem is that i completed
the assassination missions BEFORE The Big One, so i really
didn't benefit from this. The way i've made bank is through
BAWSAQ, and i've gone from $50m to approximately around
$1.000.000.000 in 5 days.
When that guide is done i'll be found here:
HTML http://spittingllamas.createaforum.com/gta-v/stock-market-guide-bawsaq/
Anyway this is a ten step guide to earn $2 Billion for each
character:
Here is a ten step guide that will net you a crap load of money.
When it was all said and done I ended up with roughly $6.3
Billion dollars between the three main characters which each
having at least $2 Billion. I know there is already some stock
threads on here but the one has over 20 pages of clutter and I
wanted to post a simple and clean one post method that doesn't
over analyze anything. If you are not that far into the game I
suggest just restarting and skip over the cutscenes until you
get back to where you already are (skipping them makes the game
go twice as fast as I learned on a second play through). If not
start a new play through as I did. Skipping cutscenes and
already knowing where to go/what to do and I beat it in a day
and a half. I was able to purchase every property in the game
and I have been buying all the clothes, planes, choppers, cars,
guns, etc and still have at least $5 Billion left.
1. Lester's assassination missions are the number one key to
this. DO NOT do them until you have beaten the story line.
There are five of them total and the first one you are required
to complete in order to advance in the story but the remaining
four...don't touch them. The one assassination mission that you
will have to do you should make sure you put it off as long as
you can. Eventually the game will tell you to do it in order to
continue with one of the story heists so push it off until then.
Also, do not wait until the mission begins to buy the stocks
for these assassination jobs. Go all in with all three
characters on the correct company before you approach the pay
phone/lester (first mission is in person meeting).
2. Don't buy any properties or vehicles at all and don't waste
money customizing cars you already own them until after you are
done with the game...trust me on this. You want to build up as
much cash as you can early in the game. Don't buy the hanger
that they tell you to purchase with Trevor...leave it alone.
Tattoos, clothes, haircuts, cab fares, etc are all fine. Keep
the expenses to a minimum. You want to have as much money as
possible on your characters early on in the game for this to
work in full force.
3. When you do the first heist (jewelry store robbery) choose
the crap drivers and shooters. You will likely lose some of the
score because things will go wrong but it is worth it in the
end. Every time you use someone they get 25% better at what
they do but their minuscule 6-9% cuts stay the same. This way
once you get to the final heist you can use people that aren't
going to eat up a ton of the money but are now skilled enough to
get the job done. You will get significantly more money on the
last job ($32 Million roughly per character).
4. When you do the jewelry store heist mission the stock for
that company (Vangelico) will sink big time to about $50-$90 a
share (seems random). Go all in with all your characters
because it will eventually climb back up and you will make a
huge profit. This stock takes the longest to recover from my
personal experience though. Since you shouldn't be buying
anything until you get to the next step it shouldn't matter that
your funds are in the VAG stock waiting to go up anyways.
5. When you get to the mission where you do finally have to do
the first assassination mission (hotel assassination) spend
every single cent you have on Betta Pharmaceutical stock before
you even start the mission (so before you approach Lester on the
bench). Wait for it to max out then sell it all. Then go all in
with all your characters in Bilkinton while its down and wait
for it to go back up to make another huge profit on the same
mission.
6. Once you do the mission where you chase Molly through the
airport (movie director mission for michael) the stock for FlyUS
will crash due to the destruction of the planes. Go all in
after the mission ends and wait for it to recover (might take a
few in game days).
7. After you do the final heist...go all in with your characters
on the Augury Insurance stock company. Once you do the main end
mission after the heist the stock will soar and you will make
bank (you will see this increase after the credits roll and you
go back to your characters).
8. Not going to spoil the heist in case you haven't done it yet
but you will make significantly more money if you take the guns
a' blazin route vs the stealthy route because it requires less
crew so less cuts to hand out (made $24 million on stealthy
trial vs $32 million on the other option). Also, remember use
the crap guys from the beginning that you should have stuck
with. Their cut percentages will still be small but they will
now be good members and experienced from being used previously.
You should come out with about $33 MM per character here if you
do it right.
9. Now that story is done...go back to the assassination
missions and do as follows:
Assassination 2 (Multi): Go all in on Debonaire and then wait
for it to spike up then sell it all and immediately go all in on
Redwood. This is the biggest one..Redwood will recover and you
end up around 300% profit.
Assassination 3 (Vice): Go all in on the Fruit stock beforehand
and then cash out around 50% profit.
Assassination 4 (Bus): Don't buy anything up front. Once you are
done go all in on Vapid. This takes the longest to recover...I
found that if you just die a few times it will pass a few days
in game time and then it will go up around 100% so you basically
double whatever you put in which at this point should be
hundreds of millions.
Assassination 5 (Construction): Go all in on Gold Coast before
you start the mission. Usually peaks around 81% profit.
10. For the kicker...invest everything you have into the stock
called Tinkle with your characters and then find the man on the
east side of the map about halfway up. He is a random encounter
guy that asks you to take him to the airport and then once you
get there he tips you off on the stock Tinkle and that you
should buy it (you already should have). It will go up about 33%
then sell it. Going into this encounter I already had about
$1,600,000,000 from all the assassination stock payouts. This
extra 33% pushed me up to over $2.2 Billion on Michael. The
exact location for this guy can be found easily with a google
image search.
This is all pretty much by the book what I did and I finished
with over two billion dollars on each character when it was all
said and done and between the three I had about $6.3 billion.
Also...there are several encounters with random pedestrians that
net you good money. There is a woman you can save from two
dudes in the northeast portion of the map that will give you
$60K and there is a guy near the pier who will give you $100K
for saving his bicycle. There is also a weed farm northeast of
Trevor's trailer home that you can rob once a week using Trevor
only for $50-80K (seems random). You can find all these
locations on the map by googling them like I did. I would do
these early in the game because you want to have large sums of
money early on ($200K+) with each character because the way you
gain money in this game is a snowball effect so the larger you
start the larger you finish (stock market strategy).

Well i'm not sure you can benefit from it anymore then. Focus on
the remaining assassination missions (if any) or BAWSAQ :)

After completing this guide if you want to continue to dabble
and push your wealth to ridiculous levels, follow these two
sites and you'll quickly have more money than you can actually
use.

There is a cap on how much money you can actually have on your
character, same goes for total number of a companies shares.
Keep this in mind when buying shares at low prices and don't
ever use the "sell all" button on high profit stock if its over
2 billion. Cash out stocks using the + sell button up to the 2
billion mark.
Reason: "The number 2,147,483,647 is the maximum value for a
32-bit signed integer in computing."

Currently sitting at over 220 Billion after all properties
bought/cars modded. You just have to keep the bulk of your
profits tied up in stocks to get around the 2.1 billion limit.
Totally pointless wealth atm, but if, and I hope this happens,
R* patches in the ****/race track, high roller gambling will be
a blast. Loved the **** in SA.
