Ok, BAWSAQ is at a different price for each character in my game, for example:
HAL
Michael - 7.69
Franklin - 5.56
Trevor - 5.69
What? Am I missing something?

Ah ok a thread!
DROP IN THE OCEAN
These guys are organized and trying to manipulate the market http://www.reddit.com/r/GTAVstocks/
Going to repost myself from OT
Going to consider taking part in the insider trading at /r/GTAVstocks but I have a feeling it's going to be messier than they expect. They have a scheduled selloff on Monday for Pisswasser, but I imagine the hours leading up to that are going to be absolute chaos and anybody who actually waits for the scheduled time is fucked. I'll be waiting to buy into whatever their next choice is as soon as they announce it (might try to predict it -- so far they just pick whatever's lowest), but I'll play it safe and sell it as soon as I see a good return.
But I think I like BurgerShot best so far. No community to muck it up. Buy at $3.XX, sell at $5.XX (or high $4.XX) -- decent return, predictable. I've done that several cycles so far no bruises yet.
I'm also considering investing in prep for GTA:O (stuff I imagine players will be buying in-game, mostly weapons) but it's hard to tell if player activity will have as big of impact as trading activity so I'm not sure how reliable it'd be.

Ethics aside (ethics in my stock market lol), is saving a game, betting it all on something, and loading a previous save if the stock hoes bad a viable option? At least on the LCN?

Sometimes I find that it says it's down when I first load the game up. If I switch characters, it's immediately up again.
It's all up for me ... I bought in with all 3 characters when it was just $1 and some change ...

Invested in Eyefind. Hope i made a good choice since it was going up.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
I would say it's almost a certainty. I'd have to go rewatched but I thought it was mentioned in the online trailer.

I have 105 million shares in PIS that I bought at 2.40. Oh yeah!
Oh it seems completely random except for the Lester assasination missions.

I think in Rockstar's attempt to avoid the rags to riches cliche in IV and V they have taken away some of the appeal to property ownership, but left all the busy work involved.

I find it annoying that they compute percentage change. It's supposed to be amount change divided by original price, not amount change divided by the new price. A stock can not lose more than 100% of it's value, damn it.
Another example of the poor life lessons GTA is teaching our children.

I took the money from the first heist and turned it into 3.2/1.2 million from HAL and PIS stocks.

Oh my god, as you hit + for buying a stock, a song comes up louder and louder the longer you go. The song says..'Smiling faces, smiling faces~!' I don't know the song name though. Hilarious.

Try buying some TacoBomb stocks, then go destroy their trucks (edit: Cluckin Bell trucks) and fuck em up a little! I did this but instead of TacoBomb i bought BurgerShot stocks and kinda worked! It did go 0.75 up in a few minutes and i sold!
Here is a table with the rival companies:

I'm up thousands of real world dollars in a week since buying TTWO as soon as the blowout sales figures were released. Haven't reached the stock market in the game yet.

Tried many times with different rivals but earned more from random stocks.

You sure? Market changes every hour so maybe by the time you switch, the price goes up or down.

If you're destroying Clucking Bell trucks, they routinely drive in and out of their HQ in Paleto Bay. Oddly, I found the PostOP headquarters there but the truck that keeps spawning there is a GoPostal van
I believe it was Andrew. in the OT thread that mentioned you can spend 30 million on a stock, sell it all to get it right back and repeat and that counts towards the 200 million spent goal.
So yeah, I'm still unsure what you have to do to even BUY stock in something. Nothing ever brings up what location I go to to buy into something. It would be nice for the story line to impact how much money to know how to add money for the story line to impact in the first place.
Like, do I have to complete the main story to be able to play the stock market? Do I have to drive to a specific location? Visit a site in-game? Use the Social Club? I've yet to see where you actually make the investment at!

Does it have to be over 30 million? I have about 17 million per character.
I'll try it out right now.
EDIT:
Thanks for the tip, I just got the achievement by using my millions that I had.

Vote this gets posted to the OP.
Will try that when my PS3 controller finishes charging up. Any site in particular?
