lel just made 96k off Debonaire.

Going to do that a lot more


Wish I had opted michael and trevor into it ahead of time.

A couple questions.

1. Are these markets open 24hrs?
2. In Game, the % Change on the Markets tab, % Change since what? Price Movement since when?
3. I am not gasping how a stock can go down 410.73%. I bought some LifeInvaders early on, after it was tanking (like -95%) thinking I was getting a steal from panic sellers (in game, LCN). Next thing I knew it was down another "200%". Right now it says my portfolio is down 63.03% and the stock is currently 11.92 (-49.68) -410.73%. It was the only stock I owned until I made some real money and put it on HAL and PIS just now on BAWSAQ/360

The social Club wont work for me. i keep getting this error page.

Today is the first time I've ever tried it. What error page? Did you create an account and link it to your gamer profile on whichever platform?

 

[yenny]

So let me get this straight. If you buy a stock on bawsaq signed in and then it tanks overnight you can boot up the game without signing in and sell at yesterdays price. It only updates if you sign in. therefore as long as you check social club first your covered from any loss in price.

Correct?

Holy shit if true... need to test

 

[Codeblew]

You guys should wait for WIZ to uptick before dumping money in it. Wait for the change in trend.

Incorrect. If you're not signed in, you cannot use BAWSAQ at all.

 

[Phreaker]

So that HAL and PIS hasn't changed a penny in over an hour on 360.

 

[CannedHeat]

Incorrect. If you're not signed in, you cannot use BAWSAQ at all.

Correct. That's when you get the 'Market down/Site down' error when trying to access it.

 

[Naudi]

So PIS seems to be going up at .25 a tick....HAL like .10. WIZ keeps going down. I haven't put into WIZ yet.

 

[Derrick01]

Since I beat the game I thought I wasn't going to have to mess with normal stocks anymore since I had some assassination missions to do but I already did the 2nd one which is where most of the money comes from with that method. So I only ended up with about 115 million on each character, obviously way below what I need to buy the golf course let alone other properties after that.

Time to dump some major money back into HAL and PIS :lol

 

[Dmax3901]

So I don't seem to be very good at this stock thing.

 

[amrod]

After you do the

Spoiler

The Bus Assassination and then buy VAP-VAPID on all 3 guys

save your game, then load that save and it'll be at its peak ready to sell

 

[hitmon]

Just noticed the OP has a tip to sell PIS by 10 PM tonight. What timezone is it in reference to?

 

[Codeblew]

I wish we could short stocks on BAWSAQ.

Just noticed the OP has a tip to sell PIS by 10 PM tonight. What timezone is it in reference to?

I think it was GMT. So about 3.5 hours ago I think. I am still holding until it downticks. I am not convinced the stock is going to react quickly to everybody selling but it will be interesting to see.

 

[AnotherNils]

If the PIS sell-off occurred, it not having any longterm effect on the stock. Just signed on and it says its up the past hour.

 

[Shady859]

Well reloaded my save after sold PIS and bought all back in at current 12.88 (360). Ride that up wave still.

Anyone else watching AMU? as soon as it ticks up i'm dropping 20 million or whatever I have in it. and saving lol

 

[Bunta]

It passed already, and PIS is still rising.

 

[Lunzio]

Stay in PIS!!!

I think a lot of what may have happened might be due to back-up saves aka people having one save with PIS sold and one with PIS all-in. Then when they see PIS still improving, they immediately will revert to their all-in save.

 

[kingkitty]

I need some insider info. I'll repay with pizza.

 

[Derrick01]

People were buying HAL by the millions when it was stuck at $1 and it didn't move from there for a week. I think only Rockstar controls the stocks and they probably have some kind of dynamic formula or setup to determine what rises/falls and how.

Like I guessed back when the game came out I really don't think buying/selling stocks determines the price at all. It's the product or service the stock provides that affects it. So if a bunch of people buy guns at ammunation it'll go up.

 

[malfcn]

Confused with Tinkle.
It is supposed to go up 30% but it's a BAWSAQ stock. I thought that was a community market. How is it guaranteed to gain (after mission).

 

[todahawk]

I'll update OP and remove the reference and instruct to check the end of the thread... shit changes too fast.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

So this reddit sell off had zero effect on the PIS stock?

That's what it seems right now.

So what's affecting PIS? Can't be that many people getting drunk in game...

 

[Derrick01]

Isn't PIS one of those businesses that has a rival? You can blow up rival trucks to make the stock rise. I dunno I'm just guessing, no one knows how Bawsaq really works.

 

[Phreaker]

Are you guys all talking about the PIS stock on PS3? Because the 360 one hasn't moved since before 8:00 for me.

 

[Naudi]

Well every time I switch to Trevor he is always drinking..New strategy EVERYONE HIT THE BARS!

 

[malfcn]

If everyone playing the game invested in Tinkle from the mission, wouldn't it just go up and up? How is it supposed to crash?

 

[torontoml]

Incorrect. If you're not signed in, you cannot use BAWSAQ at all.

But you can go to your profile under lcn and from there you can sell all your stock, without being signed in.

 

[LifEndz]

Made almost Half a mil off of pisswasser between all 3 chars. Loving this game.

 

[duckroll]

But you can go to your profile under lcn and from there you can sell all your stock, without being signed in.

But when you click on sell, doesn't it connect back to BAWSAQ for the sell screen?

 

[hitmon]

Oh, hope PIS continues to rise then, I just ended up buying some of it. Anybody know how often the ticker updates? The price on the rockstar social club is different from in-game, which one is more up to date?

 

[torontoml]

But when you click on sell, doesn't it connect back to BAWSAQ for the sell screen?

Well I went offline to see if it would work and it did, but I may have done it to quickly.

I'm trying again now after reloading the game

Interesting...

 

[Naudi]

Yeah if that works then we don't have much to worry about if a stock plummets.

 

[torontoml]

Interesting...

Nope you were right, the game must just keep a short cache of the price.

 

[malfcn]

My posts are being ignored, but how is Tinkle a BAWSAQ stock but isn't effected by the community? Maybe people are putting too much faith in stock being effected by Social Club.

 

[RawNuts]

Just sold my Piswasser stock, made $38mil profit with Micheal; didn't invest in it with the other characters but probably should have.

 

[duckroll]

Damnit! I was hoping you uncovered a new exploit there. >_<

Not everything on BAWSAQ is affected entirely by Social Club.

 

[DietRob]

I'm really thinking I should take my gains and run. With Bawsaq being an online component I could absolutely see R* servers catching fire and losing all of our money on the Bawsaq. Maybe I'm just being paranoid but I've made plenty. I'm cashing out ahead of Online launching.

 

[cdkee]

Damn, I sold at 9ish on PIS. Reddit sell-off did jack. Oh well.

 

[Derrick01]

Alright so to make up the remaining money I need for the golf course and other properties I bought just under 7 million shares of pisswasser a little while ago. It went up a little bit since then and I'm already at $120k profit lol. I hope it keeps going way up at the rate it has been.

I JUST bought. I am holding long and strong for the BLAST OFF when online starts!

Still have seen no change on PIS or HAL since 8:00 ET on 360. (3hrs, is that normal?)

 

[VeryGooster]

Guess now is still an okay time to buy into HAL?

 

[Naudi]

Guess now is still an okay time to buy into HAL?

Has continued to rise, on ps3 anyway. So should be safe.

 

[ndawgdrake]

Where do people get this Reddit "insider" information from? Searched and couldn't find it.

Edit: Nevermind, I found it. Was searching on Google this entire time rather than this thread.

 

[hitmon]

Just checked PS3 and HAL is at 11.03 and PIS is at 12.97. Seems like its updating more than the rockstar site.
