God I love this thread. And you guys

 

[careless mango]

I'm not playing online yet, just trying to finish single player and get some cash, but thanks anyway.

Seriously can anyone shed some light on this for me, here's my question again:

VAG is the jewelry store right? Mine has been in the red since after the heist and I've completed more or less everything now.

 

[todahawk]

I sold off everything, staying out of BAWSAQ until I see what happens. I think the goal of the big sell-off is to get the price of HAL and PIS back down to the $1-2 again so we can reinvest again and get the huge dividends like earlier, it's not to move on to a different stock. Why bother with WIZ? It's only down 4%, there's no gains to be made with that.

If reddit does what they say they're gonna do and start buying WIZ the price is going to climb, climb, climb.

What is the movement %? I think VAG bottoms out around -130% after the heist and stays there for a while. It took until about the 75% mission completion point for it to rebound for me, back to around 80% it's original price.

 

[brokenbeans]

Funny if this was all just ruse created by Reddit to raise the price of PIS and in the end they don't sell, just wait for HAL to fall and go balls deep.

Just a thought.

 

[Hamlet Machine]

Wait, so it works in real time ?
Like we players have an influence on the "market" ?

 

[Muffdraul]

I'm doing my second playthrough, and I've heard you can leave Lester's assassinations until the end to max out the investment profits. But apparently it's forcing me to at least do the first one in order to progress, Franklin says he can't do the second FIB job until he "does something for Lester first." Is that how it works, you have to the first one and then you can leave the rest for later?

Yes.

 

[The Albatross]

Pulled out of HAL today. Pulled out of PIS as well. I got in on the ground floor of HAL when it was $0.68 or whatever. I wish that I had more money then... I only had like $40,000 in it. Still got a great payout from that initial investment.

I pulled out of both in the chance that everything goes to shit tomorrow when online starts.

Yes, make sure you invest all characters into Betta Pharmaceuticals (on BAWSAQ) before talking to Lester.

Could be. Hm, will only sell half of PIS this evening, rest in the morning. And also there is factor 'everything will go to hell on 1st October when online starts'

 

[Alpende]

I'm going to pull out of PIS in a couple of hours. I'll check back tomorrow what everyone's investing in.

 

[Nymphae]

VAG is the jewelry store right? Mine has been in the red since after the heist and I've completed more or less everything now.

Yes the jewellery store. I read in a guide it's supposed drop to like 50 a share after the heist, then gradually rise again to make you a profit. I'm not seeing any movement in the stock prices and I don't want to miss the window.

 

[Muffdraul]

Thanks, I kinda figured that out during my first time through. =P I thought I was so clever, activating the assassination missions just to hear Lester say who to invest in, then reloading my save so I could have all three characters put all of their money into it. But it never occurred to me to wait until later to make more money, I just did them as soon as they came up.

 

[brokenbeans]

HAL up 8% for me for 12hrs investment I'll take it.

My VAG (lol) is at $14.6 right now. Don't really know what it was before the heist but I'm pretty sure I've never seen a green arrow next to it during my playthrough.

 

[dmg04]

Put a couple mil in WIZ

let's see how it goes

 

[Hayabusi]

Tinkle going down and down.

How are the chances that it will go up again? So I will just wait.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Lost a mill on HAL
but gained more than 8 mill per character on PIS

 

[DKehoe]

Want some advice on what to do with my money after the second heist

Spoiler

Just did the heist with Trevor in the submarine (I did the offshore version if that makes any difference). I'm expecting Merryweather shares to drop in a little bit as a result of it.Will they recover afterwards? Should I be buying Merryweather stock when I see it drop?

 

[tehPete]

I've had the market sheets open on my work computer all day; thankfully there's not been a downtick XD Bring on 11pm (10pm GMT BST)

[E92 M3]

I'm really hoping the online launch doesn't throw everything off -- though I am expecting the worst. (fingers crossed)

"The market is down for maintenance"

It has already begun.

Edit:it's back up again.

 

[Liquidsnake]

I sold off my HAL, made 100k.

I was looking at WIZ.

 

[Zok310]

Bawls is down for me, can't see my profile.
Sad face.
I hope there was no panic and everyone just rushed in to sell crashing the social club.

 

[VeryGooster]

PIS looks like it's still steadily climbing on the Xbox market. Will hold out until maybe another two or three hours.

 

[AlmostMilk]

Keeping a close eye on the market. As soon as I see the slightest decline, I am selling all.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

I just sold all my PIS. Just in case people got squirrely and sold before 6pm. Gonna see tonightght how far it drops then invest again.

 

[dmg04]

HAL and PIS are the only two with an upwards trend under $500

this shit is RIGGED!

 

[amrod]

so what stock should we be buying now?

 

[Moozo]

I just sold all my PIS. Just in case people got squirrely and sold before 6pm

Great

 

[Spazznid]

What should I invest all my monies in right now?

 

[Steroyd]

Must. Resist. Urge. To. Sell.

I've more than doubled my money at this point 1 hour and 15 minutes is so far away. ;_;

 

[ndawgdrake]

HAL just jumped 32 cents!

 

[brokenbeans]

What should I invest all my monies in right now?

HAL.

 

[greatgeek]

Is there a sell time set for HAL?

 

[Naudi]

PIS jumped up to 12

I wouldn't touch that stock because you aren't done running into them.

Greed is good, until you lose all your monies.

 

[brokenbeans]

No nothing set.

I'd urge PIS sellers to go balls deep in HAL.

Too early for WIZ people need to pull money out the price is too high.

 

[LkPr]

Yah I think I'm going to stay away from WIZ ... don't have a good feeling

 

[todahawk]

I'm selling as soon as I get home from work...

"Officer, yes sir, I know I was speeding but I'm gonna lose a shit-ton of money if I don't get home before 6pm and sell!"

 

[Aranath]

Just sold all my PIS stock. From a 15mil investment for each character, I made 36mil back. Definitely can't complain.

I won't be investing in anything for now. I'm going to be busy working all week and I don't want to risk not having the time to properly monitor this stuff. We'll see how the market is next weekend when I have more time and Online is in full swing (hopefully).

What's a cheeky 5 mil?

Hahahahaha.
Ask him, or her if they wants a cut. Then tell them to rush home and invest in PIS now.
Lol

 

[FairXchange]

So, why are people being conservative on investing when we have save states in this game?

You can put all your money in any fund using different saves, if one happens to tank, revert back to before you ever invested? Yes, the funds change in real time, but at least we'll never lose our initial investments.

There's zero risk in this whole process. I sold PIS this morning, then I saw it was worth more when I got home, reverted my save and sold even higher. I'm sure we all know this, but it certainly takes any perceived risk completely out of the equation.

 

[Neuromancer]

Is there any chance I could lose money on HAL? When I do this overnight I make two saves to cover myself, but if I buy HAL tonight and sell Friday I'll be playing all that time in between and don't want to lose progress if things don't work out.

Like I just said... That's fine if you're not playing in between, but reverting to an almost week old save would be really painful as I'm still working on activities and other side missions.

 

[amrod]

bought hal

 

[DKehoe]

I wouldn't touch that stock because you aren't done running into them.

Thanks for the advice!
