After reading this article, you will learn all the intricacies of playing on the stock exchanges in GTA 5! And if you read to the end, you will learn how to earn more than 2 billion dollars on the stock exchange in the game without any problems!

Stock exchanges in GTA 5 are a very interesting and complex mini-game for which Rockstar has always been so famous. And if in the previous parts the mini-games were completely childish and only slightly diversified the gameplay, then trading on the stock exchange in GTA 5 is a truly exciting pastime, requiring not only the constant participation of the player, but also certain knowledge of economics and statistics. However, if you have neither the time nor the desire to study exact sciences, but still want to play on the stock exchange in GTA 5, then our article is just for you! Moreover, we can guarantee that after reading the material below, you can earn more than $2 billion from stock manipulation!

Stock exchanges in GTA 5

The general rule for working on stock exchanges sounds quite simple: buy shares cheaper and sell higher. But in addition to this golden rule, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the functioning of the market in a particular environment. This is what we will do.

There are 2 stock exchanges in GTA 5: LCN - Liberty City National Stock Exchange and BAWSAQ.
LCN is a “single-user” exchange. The rise and fall of the stocks traded there are only affected by internal events in your single-player game. To successfully play on the LCN, you need to carefully monitor what is happening in the gaming world. We recommend regularly listening to stock exchange reports on the radio.

Changes in stock quotes are mostly random or depend on your progress through the storyline, but you can and should influence the situation on the stock exchange. To do this, it is enough to interfere with the activities of companies represented on the stock market. By “interfering” we mean, of course, negative actions: damage to property and murder of company management. In reality it looks like this: there are 2 competing companies. At a certain point in time, you begin to destroy the property of one of them. As a result, on the stock market, the shares of this company are rapidly falling in price, while the shares of a competitor are rising. All you have to do is invest as much money as possible into shares of a “growing” company and sell them as soon as the share price reaches its peak. And it wouldn’t hurt to use the proceeds to buy the assets of a “collapsed” company when their price reaches a minimum. And after the price for them normalizes, sell them.

For you, we have prepared a list of competing companies in the world of GTA 5. A fall in the shares of companies in the left column will lead to an increase in the shares of companies on the right, and vice versa.

GTA 5: competitors on the LCN exchange
CoolBeans	BeanMachine
Burgershot	Up-An-Atom
Clucking Bell	TacoBomb
FlyUS	AirEmu
GoPostal	PostOP
Bilkington	DollarPills
Pisswasser	Logger
MazeBank	BankOfLiberty
Redwood	Debonaire
Slaughter, Slaughter & Slaughter	Bullhead
RadioLosSantos	WorldwideFM
ECola	Raine

Unfortunately, not everything in the game corresponds to logic, and many players complain that, for example, after destroying several FlyUS planes, they eventually discovered that the shares of AirEmu (FlyUS competitor) had fallen. Rockstar developers have heard a lot of abuse on gaming forums about these bugs and shortcomings. It is hoped that the PC version of GTA 5 will be devoid of them. In addition, even now this problem is not widespread and appears only on some consoles. Therefore, you need to check how your specific version of the game will behave. You need to check for different sectors of competition: if, for example, “intervention” in the activities of air carriers does not bring the expected market changes, then it is quite likely that everything will work out with the fast food market :).

The BAWSAQ stock exchange, unlike the LCN, is “multi-user”. Changes in quotes on it depend on the actions of the gaming community. In order to purposefully influence the stock prices of a particular company, the joint efforts of many players are necessary. There is no point in trying to do something alone. For this reason, playing on BAWSAQ is more difficult, although it can bring more money.

The main parameter by which one can judge the profitability of an operation on the stock exchange is the percentage of return on investment. If, for example, you bought shares for $100 and then sold them for $108, then the return on investment percentage would be 8%.

For the LCN exchange, the average percentage of return on investment for a successfully completed operation is 8 – 10%. Such a low value is due to the fact that the market in GTA 5 is very unstable, and the graph of changes in stock prices does not always have the shape as in the figure presented above. In fact, sharp peaks and troughs are possible. In addition, investments in GTA 5 are short-term,
the chart simply does not have time to rise higher before the next fall begins. Therefore, if you play on the LCN exchange and see that the return on investment percentage has reached 10%, feel free to sell and rejoice at the successful operation. The waiting time at this exchange is 5 – 10 minutes. If there are no significant changes, sleep and check again. On the BAWSAQ exchange, the return on investment percentage is significantly higher and ranges from 25 to 40%. True, you have to wait much longer here – 3 – 6
real time clock. The most profitable transactions on this exchange are carried out on weekends.

GTA 5 how to play on the stock exchange (Leicester missions)

Using the method below, you can earn $2.1 billion across three characters! The procedure is as follows:

1) Start going through the main storyline and do not look towards the exchanges until you reach a series of contract killings that Lester will order. The first of these missions is “The Hotel Assassination”. Without completing it, you will not be able to progress through the story. The essence of the mission is that you lower the shares of Bilkington, thus increasing the shares of Betta Pharmaceuticals. The return on investment percentage for after completing the mission will be 80%!

How to invest? Before starting the mission, invest all your money in the BAWSAQ exchange, and after successful completion of the mission, when the gain is 80%, sell the shares.

2) Complete the main storyline, but under no circumstances take other contract killings from Lester! The last mission of the main story will net you approximately $40 million per character, and then it's time to play
big time!

3) The second mission from Lester will be “The Multi Target Assassination”. The point is to deliberately increase Debonaire shares and, accordingly, lower Redwood shares.

How to invest? Before starting the mission, invest all your money in . After the mission ends, sell the shares. After that, buy shares while their price is at a minimum, and sell after the price of these shares returns to normal (you need to wait and check the quotes regularly). All transactions are carried out on the LCN exchange.

4) The next mission from Lester is “Murder – Panel” (“The Vice Assassination”). Here you will help Facade stock fall and Fruit stock rise.

How to invest? Before starting the mission, invest all your savings in . After completing the task, sell the shares. Buy shares immediately while their price is at a minimum, and sell after the price of these shares returns to normal (you need to wait and check the quotes regularly). All transactions are carried out on the BAWSAQ exchange.

5) After the Panel, Lester will give you the task “The Bus Assassination” ” ). This mission is a little different from the previous ones. The goal is as follows: reduce Vapid quotes, make investments, and wait for the rate to return to normal.

How to invest? Immediately after successfully completing the task, buy shares, wait for their rate to normalize, and sell. The percentage of return on investment should increase to exactly 100! Purchase and sale is carried out on the BAWSAQ exchange.

6) The last mission in a series of contract killings from Lester is “Murder - Construction” (The Construction Assassination). In this mission, transactions will only be carried out with GoldCoast shares.

How to invest? Before starting the mission, invest all your cash in, and after completion, when the return on investment percentage reaches 80%, sell. The exchange for conducting transactions is LCN.

After completing all the robberies, each of the heroes will have about 40 million in their account. Now you have a chance to increase these amounts on the exchange with the help of Lester’s tasks.

1 task - "Murder - Hotel"

Let me remind you that to complete the plot, you will have to go through the first mission - “Murder in the Hotel”. Although there will be little money in your account, you can increase the amount, as this will be inevitable. Before the task, visit the BAWSAQ website and invest in Betta Pharmaceuticals shares. Complete this for all 3 heroes, and then return to Franklin and begin the task. Once you kill the head of a rival corporation, the stock will rise. Wait until prices stabilize in the market and amount to 180% of the initial price (that is, rise by 80%). Start selling them before the price starts to fall.

Task 2 - "Kill 4 targets"

The second task - “Murder - 4 targets”, leave it for completion after completing the main plot. First, we suggest you pay all your money for shares of the cigarette magnate Debonair, which can be purchased on the LCN exchange. After this, begin completing Lester's quest for Franklin. Then everything is simple - wait until the prices rise, and then merge the shares back. After you sell the Debonair shares, buy the Redwood shares, which fell to pennies after you completed the task. It will be a long wait, but the shares will eventually be worth the same as when they started trading. Then you will sell them, increasing your account several times.

Task 3 - "Murder - Panel"

The third task - “Murder - Panel”, just like the past, will bring us quite a bit of profit on BAWSAQ. Buy Fruit shares before the mission, and after the mission, sell them and invest in the Facade company. Just like in the previous task, the shares fell greatly in price, but over time they will return to their initial level.

Task 4 - "Murder - Bus"

The next task will be “Murder - Bus”. There is no need to invest money anywhere before him. After you kill the victim, go to BAWSAQ and buy back shares of the Vapid company with all the money. Now they have fallen to $162 per unit, but after a while they will return to $320 per share. This will double your gaming capital.

Last task - "Murder - Construction"

Lester's last mission will be "Murder - Construction". Purchase all GoldCoast Dev assets on LCN and complete the task to the end. In a day the shares will jump by 80%, then sell them.

Additional task

You can earn money on the GTA 5 exchange not only during missions with Lester. As the game progresses, the task “Hitch Lift 1” will be available to you, in which you will have to deliver one trader to the airport, who is in a hurry to catch a flight to Liberty City. If you help him, he will help you and tell you who you need to invest money on in order to make money.

The gaming world of GTA 5 provides a lot of opportunities, one of them, namely the presence of the stock market in the game, will help you feel like the wolf of Wall Street. As the game progresses, events occur that affect the value of assets. By completing certain missions, you contribute to a collapse or, conversely, an increase in prices.

Before discussing in detail how the exchange works and which stocks to buy, It should be noted that before starting games on the stock market, it is best for you to complete all the heist tasks as efficiently as possible in order to save as much money as possible for investment. After all, everyone knows the truth: “To get rich, you need money.”

So, after the heist missions have been completed and the main characters have tidy sums in their accounts, it’s time to start completing Lester’s side missions, investing in the stock market along the way.

Stock jumps before and after completing missions

1. Mission: Murder - Hotel.

Before going through, go online from your phone or laptop and go to the exchange BAWSAQ and buy shares with EACH character Betta Pharmaceuticals (BET). Then you switch to Mr. Clinton, take the task from Lester, and after completing it, wait. After four in-game days, the price increase will be about 80% - then you sell them.

2. Mission: Murder - 4 targets.

Before we begin execution, go to LCN and buy assets Debonaire Cigarettes,and having gotten rid of the goals, expect an increase in prices forPC by 46-53%, for consoles up to 80% - this will happen within a few game hours. After that, we wait until the stock price Redwoodwill be $50 each.

Now, like a super-fast broker, you need to sell securitiesDebonaireand buy sharesRedwood. Further, after 3-4 game days, the increase will be 294-306% forPC, and on consoles this figure can reach 328%.

Upon reaching the peak, we sell Redwood shares.

3. Mission: Murder - Panel.

As before, it is better to buy shares before starting the task. We are buying securities of Apple's gaming analogue, the Fruit company, whose assets can be found in BAWSAQ. After completing the task, we wait for the exchange rate to increase byPCup to 25%, and on consoles approximately 50%. We sell what we had and buy assetsFacade, analogueMicrosoft. After waiting no more than 8 game days, you will receive an increase of 33% - the best time to sell securities.

4. Mission: Murder - Bus.

Breaking traditions at this stage, we first kill the target, and then invest in Vacid of the BAWSAQ exchange, the guideline for the purchase will be a two-fold drop in the exchange rate relative to the prices that were before the task was completed. After the company recovers - about 7 in-game days have passed, you can safely sell securities - your capital will double.

5. Mission: Murder - Construction.

Before completing the task, we buy securities of the GoldCoast company on the LCN exchange, and after completing the mission, you need to wait until 1 game day has passed. By this point, the increase will be more than 60% on PC, and more than 80% on consoles.

How to buy stocks to make money

In addition to Lester's static story missions, be sure to complete the side mission. You need a ride from a business analyst, who can be picked up at the highway exit, not far from the town of Chumash.

Before picking up a lucky passenger, invest all your funds in the Tinkle corporation of the BAWSAQ exchange. Having delivered a fellow traveler to Los Santos Airport and having received the coveted information, you need to wait one game day and then sell the assets. Thanks to these simple manipulations, the balance of your characters will be more than one and a half billion dollars.

In addition to scripted stock changes GTA 5 market, you can earn money by buying and selling shares, following the rule,- “Buy low, sell high.”

We go to the gaming Internet, go to the “Money” tab, select an exchange and on the “Markets” tab we decide where we will invest our money. We look for companies whose share prices are growing (green triangle icon next to the name), buy securities, and wait for the peak of growth - as soon as the shares begin to fall, we sell assets.

Every corporation has an antagonist, just like in real life. And, for example, if one company is attacked, its shares will begin to fall, and the assets of the antagonist company will begin to grow.

Below is a list of companies and their antagonists:

Company		Antagonist
Bilkington		DollarPills
Pisswasser
MazeBank		BankOfLiberty
Redwood		Debonaire
Slaughter, Slaughter & Slaughter		Bullhead
RadioLosSantos		WorldwideFM

CoolBeans		BeanMachine
Burgershot		Up-An-Atom
Clucking Bell		TacoBomb

GoPostal

In addition, a great move would be to buy shares of AugeryInsurance and then destroy city cars - you will quickly notice the positive dynamics of the assets.

Once again, I would like to emphasize that it is important to invest the money of each of the game characters to maximize profits. A little secret is that if you don’t want to wait, you can just go to bed, each character sleeps a certain number of hours:

Trevor Phillips sleeps 12 hours.
Franklin Clinton - 8 hours.
Michael stays in bed for no more than 6 hours.

On this page we present you a complete guide on how to invest in the stock market by buying and selling shares in GTA V. Firstly, there are two main indices, namely and.

LCN, is tied exclusively to single player and changes may depend on facts related to the main storyline or the actions of the players themselves.

BAWSAQ, related to services Rockstar Games and stock prices may change depending on the behavior of players and transactions performed by other players. That's why BAWSAQ works even when your console is disabled, unlike LCN. On PS3, the exchange will be available when you connect to a free account.

Lester Mission #2 - Assassination - 4 targets

The second mission, Lester, will become available only after completing the Lestar mission - “Murder - Hotel”. Before execution, invest all the money belonging to Michael, Franklin and Trevor in Debonaire Cigarettes (LCN), this company is listed on exchanges - LCN. After completing the mission, wait for the stock to rise by approximately 80%. The time it takes before they reach the peak is approximately 2-3 hours of game time.

Then we monitor the actions of the competitor Redwood. As soon as their price stops at $50 per share, we sell the shares Debonaire, and we invest all the money in Redwood, and then wait a few days in the game.

In our case, it took 4 days in the game to achieve maximum profit. As soon as the shares Redwood rise to 300% or so, you can sell them to make a substantial return on your investment.

In the table we have summarized the data for the two investments described above. In our case, starting with an initial capital of about $38 million, we made a profit of approximately $275 million with Michael.

Lester Task #3 - Murder - Panel

The third mission, "Murder - Panel", should only be completed after completing the main storyline, so to maximize profits, the mission is unlocked after completing the "Black Helicopter" mission. Before execution, again, we invest all the money belonging to Michael, Franklin and Trevor in Fruit (FRT), located in BAWSAQ. After completing the mission, wait for these shares to rise to around 51%. Afterwards we perform all the same steps described above.

It takes approximately three days in the game to reach maximum profit. As soon as the shares Facade will be increased by 33%, you can sell them and get a greater return on investment.

Starting with an initial capital of about $275 million, the profit was $560 million with Michael.

Lester Mission #4 - Murder - Bus

The fourth mission is “Murder - Bus”. Unlike other missions in this one, we will buy shares after completing the mission. After completion we buy shares Vapid(VAP) in BAWSAQ, with all the money of the three main characters.

Then we wait about 2 game days. And as soon as the shares grow by 100% +, we sell them.

Starting with an initial capital of approximately $560 million, profits were approximately $1.1 billion with Michael.

Lester Task #5 - Murder - Construction

Mission "Murder - Construction". Before completing it, we buy shares of the company Goldcoast in LCN for all the money of all three heroes.

Starting with an initial capital of approximately $1.1 billion, the profit was $2,147,483,647. which is the maximum achievable in a single player game.

Other investments

Many players fall into the category of those who have not invested in stocks by using the tips in Lester's missions. Therefore, we will show you other ways to make money on the stock exchange if the missions for Lester have already been completed.

Random Event #31

In Random Event #31 at the airport, you will have to accompany a businessman whose car has broken down. When you take him to the specified place, he will give you advice on where to invest your money. And he will advise you to buy shares of the company Tinkle (TNK) at BAWSAQ.

Once Tinkle shares rise to 33% or so, you can sell them to make a significant return on your investment.

With an investment of thirty million dollars, you will receive more than ten million dollars in profit. By investing with Franklin you will earn more than $500 million. Investing with Michael in this case is useless, since the maximum possible amount in the game is $2,147,483,647.

Competitors

Many guides have tips about rivalries between companies and actions that will be carried out to take advantage of the competition between them, such as destroying the Pisswasser wagons or killing the employees of the Cluckin' Bell plant in Paleto Bay. However, such methods, even if repeated many times, do not deliver a noticeable effect on the investment in action associated with these companies. The only rivalries that can truly be used in a player's favor are between Raine And Ecola.

Raine is the main competitor Ecola. After a certain procedure and destroying several vans with logos Ecola, you can achieve great success using stock rally Raine.
The procedure consists mainly of investing with one hero several million dollars in stocks Raine. It is indeed very likely that the stock will fall a few percentage points early on.
