This article shows you how to take advantage of the Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA V) stock market to make a huge amount of money. While there are no instant codes or other methods to significantly increase the money available to your character, there are some methods to take advantage of the stock market and achieve the same result.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Leverage Your Influence on the Stock Market
Step 1. Learn about the competition system in the stock market
On the GTA V stock exchange, each share is paired with another from a similar and competing company; destroy the properties of one of the rivals and wreak havoc in his business, so as to bring down the price of his shares and consequently raise the value of those of the direct competitor. The couplings are as follows:
- 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
Step 2. Find an action to collapse
For example, if your favorite in-game drink is eCola, storm every eCola-branded delivery truck you see.
This becomes more difficult for vendors tied to a specific location, but you can achieve the same effect by going to the company headquarters and attacking passersby
Step 3. Wait for the stock price to drop
Once the stock value of the company you attacked drops, you can either continue with the method or continue your assaults in order to drop it further.
Changes in the value of a company's stock can take a day or two within the game world before appearing on the stock exchange
Step 4. Buy the shares at a low price
Once your attempt to get in the way of a company's business has worked, the respective shares should have dropped significantly in price from the original one; now you should have a chance to purchase a good number of them.
The price of a share depends a lot on the company, the extent of the damage you have done and the current state of the market within the game
Step 5. Start attacking competitors' properties or customers
In the case of eCola, target the Raine brand; just find the delivery trucks and repeat the destructive actions you previously conducted with a new target.
Step 6. Wait for the shares you have purchased to increase in value
When you start causing competition issues, the stocks you invested in should go back up. Keep hindering the competition until you are satisfied with your profits, then repeat the operation as many times as you wish.
This isn't the most profitable way to use the stock market in GTA V, but it's still a good way to earn some extra cash early in the game
Method 2 of 2: Using Assassin Jobs
Step 1. Learn the concept behind the method
By investing in some companies before eliminating the owner or one of the partners of competing businesses with an assassination, you can make a lot of money. You will have to wait for the game's story to finish before you do so, as you won't have enough cash to make a sizable profit until you've completed the entire campaign.
- All assassin missions are completed by Franklin and assigned by Lester.
- Never complete the next mission in the series before you have made the most of your stock market investments.
Step 2. Play the main story up to the Hotel Assassination mission
You shouldn't complete any secondary assassinations for now, but the mentioned mission is mandatory to progress through the story. Before facing it, invest all your money in the shares that will go up in price.
Step 3. Invest all your money in Beta Pharmaceuticals
You will find these actions on the BAWSAQ page. Once the Hotel Assassination mission is completed their value will go up.
Save before continuing, to avoid problems in case something goes wrong after purchasing the shares and before completing the mission
Step 4. Sell the Beta shares immediately after completing the Hotel Assassination mission
This way you will make a profit. Now, in theory, you can wait three days of play, buy Bilkington shares in the LCN market, wait a week of play, then sell them, but that's not necessary and you won't make much money.
Step 5. Complete the story
To make money in the stock market, you need a good amount of capital to invest; complete the story of the game and you will receive approximately $ 25 million for each character. At that point you can continue with the murders.
Step 6. Invest in Debonaire before the Multi-Target Assassination mission
Debonaire shares may already have a very high price, but they will go up again after you take out the Redwood investors.
Step 7. Sell Debonaire shares and buy Redwoods after the mission
At the end of the assassination, by selling Debonaire shares on the LCN market you will get a large profit, while you will be able to buy the Redwood shares always on the LCN at low cost.
Step 8. Sell the Redwood stock when it reaches its original price again
It will take a few days for the market to stabilize, so spend the hours sleeping inside the game.
As always, save before making a large investment in the stock market
Step 9. Earn money with Fruit and the Vice Assassination mission
Buy Fruit shares in the BAWSAQ market, then complete the missions and sell them immediately afterwards.
Step 10. Buy Facade shares after selling Fruit ones
Facade's (BAWSAQ) price will be significantly lower after Fruit's leap forward, so buy as many shares as possible.
Step 11. Sell Facade shares when they reach their original price again
It can take a few days for that to happen, so be sure to save before purchasing and check what peak they hit.
You can usually sell Facade stock for 30% profit, thus reaching approximately $ 2 billion
Step 12. Purchase the Vapid shares after the Bus Assassination mission
Vapid will recover their original value two days after the mission, so there is no need to purchase them first.
Step 13. Sell the Vapid shares when they have reached their original value
Vapid (BAWSAQ) will return to 100% of its value, so decide when to sell accordingly.
Step 14. Invest in GoldCoast (LCN) before the Construction Assassination mission
The value of these shares will increase significantly after the mission.
Step 15. Sell GoldCoast shares after the mission
This is the last step to amassing an untold fortune in GTA V; even though you can keep investing in the stock market to make even more money, you should have enough to buy everything you want in the game.
