GTA Stock Market & Insider Trading Thread: Scratching that BAWSAQ itch

As a new investor, what do I do with my newfound profits? Leave them in and continue to grow, take out and reinvest, what?

The only character really reaping the rewards is Michael, thanks to the 2.1 mil from the Epsilon mission. How can I get the others in on this?

How far in the game are you?
 
Yesterday I told my friend to go all in with HAL but he was hesitant so he went with 50/50 HAL and PIS. All of my money has been in PIS but I am changing it all to HAL now. It jumped like crazy over the past three days.

I keep chasing dat paper. Get money, get paid.
 
I've got 3 saves now. Invested everything in Hal, everything in Pis and nothing at all. I'll continue to play with whatever grows the most in the coming days.
 
I cashed out today and did one of the Lester missions and then immediately reinvested in PIS and HAL. Hopefully this pushes me up over that 200 mil mark. Want that golf course.
 
I invested in HAL by mistake after Lester's very first assassination mission (the one that had to be done to progress the story). Had i not realized my mistake i would be rolling in it right now :( lol.

I've split my earnings between all 3 characters on AMU, PIS and HAL now. Fingers crossed that i make some money, knowing my luck i have missed the boat and everything will start going down.
 
Damn it. Just finished the game on Sunday and did only one Lester mission. Everyone has 70mil in cash but I forgot to invest that money into PIS/HAL and holy hell at that HAL spike.

Only had around 400k invested in PIS when it was at 8$...

FYI that Golf course is $150m.

I cashed out of PIS with Trevor last night. He strolled up to the golf course in nothing but his old man underwear and bought the place. :)
 
All of you have yet to finish Lester's missions, you don't need the stock market - billions can be made from Lester! Though, this is more fun, lol.
 
I just realized HAL didn't spike on the PS3, which I find strange. Knowing that, I'm surprised PIS isn't doing much better on that platform. This is all so confusing, but I'm making money, so whatever.
 
Sold my original PIS investment and reinvested it back. Have some 60million invested in it now.

Not particularly expecting it to jump much higher. But I should be earning a bit more per small bump now. (made more than half my initial investment back today).
 
It slowed down last week, then picked up ALOT over the weekend. So, I'm kinda waiting it out as well. I've already more than doubled my investment.

But now I kinda want to know how high this goes.

Is... is this what gambling is like. Cause it feels wrong. And yet, so right.
 
Once I have enough money as Trevor to buy the golf course (should be within the next day or so), I'll probably create a new save after cashing out just in case PIS suddenly crashes. Otherwise, I'll probably keep riding it as long as it keeps going up.
 
I think there's easily another week left in PIS yet ... I bought at around the $30 mark and now I'm debating whether it's best to cash out completely and re-invest all of the profits straight back into it?

Same here. I told myself if it goes down then that's fine. But I really want to ride this out. Plus I have to wait now anyway because my ps3 is all packed up until the weekend. Would love to get a huge return. Really wish there was an online social club trading capacity.
 
finally finished the single play storyline and picking up on the Lester missions. Only did the first two so I think I'll be in good shape. Lots of shit to buy!

Really wish single player had massive garages for a fleet of personal vehicles.

Lots of things from Online should have been in SP :(
 
Doubled my money on all characters after the Ammunation rebound earlier in the week. Can't imagine its going to climb much higher though.

Has the HAL bubble burst? I'm still holding on...

Hahah - HAL has hit a temporary plateau it would seem. People can safely sell HAL now or hold on -- it'll be stable for a bit (might even go up again). That said, no bubbles are bursting - remember guys: HAL is a company that manufacturers weapons and with Online taking off, don't expect it to crash too much. And I am still on the PIS train! Choo Choo

You should do some kind of weekly BAWSAQ market analysis post.

You're the Jim Cramer of GTAO.

I sold HAL in a panic. thought i would cut my losses as i bought shares when they were already sky high, need to be more on the ball and buy them before they skyrocket instead of when they have already pretty much peaked lol.

Did very well with AMU and PIS stock <3, i have nearly finished the story missions before i then go crazy with Lester's missions and making money there. But through playing the stock market over the last week and a bit, i've made 1.2 - 3 million per character, which is not too shabby.

It's okay, HAL stabilized for a while, so it's safe to sell. In fact, guys, this is the perfect time to cash out on HAL and not feel guilty. I feel like it'll be pretty static (maybe dollar up or down) for the next 4 days at least.
 
PIS is teasing now, stuck right below $100. Haven't played all week while profiting, so I'll probably cash out once it crosses and reinvest the profits in HAL for the next jump.
 
Can any of the three characters buy the golf course? I just passed the $150 million mark with everyone, so I'm just about ready to
Cash out. If I'm not mistaken the other properties are fairly inexpensive, right?

Edit: just looked it up. There's a few in the double digit million range. I guess I'll hang on for a bit longer.
 
Ah, BAWSAQ, I love you so.

I had 30M finishing the game. I dumped it all into HAL when both were below 10 dollars. Cashed out in the teens and rebought PIS when it was 18 or so.

Went from 30M per char to about 200M per char now.

Awww yeah.

Ha, I put $200-300m with each character in PIS when it was $6.88. Now I can't sell (it all) or I'll go over the limit. Takes all the fun out of it.

Had the same thing!

Played a couple of days ago, put 25 million of Michael's money into HAL, just checked back and got 90% profit. How the fuck, I don't even know but it's great nontheless.

The entire BAWSAQ mechanic is shallow as hell. Just dump your money into HAL or PIS [whichever has higher profit percentage], wait a day and sell shares.

How high can stocks go? From the looks of things once they hit around 100 they start to drop.
 
So is that limit of just over 2 billion still in effect? Cause I have an old save where I bought into PIS at under $3, stand to make a profit of over $4 billion per character if I sold now.

Both HAL and PIS look like they're going to hit their market high pretty soon. Maybe in a week or so. I wonder what happens then.

Actually, HAL has already surpassed it's initial market high. At this point, I think all of the market highs are still arbitrary. I'm very curious how the stocks will look like 6 months down the line.
