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.

when ever the actual online BAWSAQ is up and running and stable, i have a hard time believing anyone trusting their money with something Rockstar could easily influence.

"oh no your stock market collapse...welp good thing theres micro transaction money packs to buy!"

Indeed, I have mentioned that the trends will be unknown once it goes live in Online -- especially how they are already pushing us towards micro transactions.

It says $46.73 on PS3 here. The market high is $50.38.

Ah - right, I'm on 360.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

So I beat the final missions and then did the assassination missions and each character is sitting on around $200 million.
I want to go back and mop up everything I've not done yet, especially buying properties, but want to play some other games for a week or so 1st.
Where do you think is a good place to stick my cash until I come back?

pißwasser and hal loosing steam, any recommendations where to put money now?

How did you come to that conclusion?

Looks pretty strong to me.

Crevis. It's growing like crazy since yesterday. I earned more than 5 millions overnight with 65 millions invested in it by all 3 characters, which means 8% of profit.

 

[Grinchy]

Hopefully, PIS crashes back down to pennies and starts over on its climb to $150.

It can very well still bypass it's market high -- other stocks did so

 

[elektrixx]

Badger is getting pretty cheap right now. I've invested with another save just in case it outperforms PIS when I wake up.

 

[MBS]

I missed the PIS/HAL train. Is it safe to invest in one of them now, or i should wait for another stock to rise? (Badger looks extremely profitable, if it starts rising).

 

[robertsan21]

did Rockstar fix that bug when money goes to negative when you have more than 2billion?

Piss and Hal have given me 600% and 1400% return and I would like to cash out..that will give me around 5billion per character.

I think Badger is going to go lower -- gonna hold.

They did not - just keep some equity in stocks and cash out what you need.

 

[POWERSPHERE]

BAWSAQ hadn't been online once when I'm playing. Is it ever? I can't do the first Lester mission till it is.

 

[Miles X]

Badger is $6.16~ right now, can it really go lower?!

Edit - spoke to so, $5.61.

 

[SpecX]

I can't believe PIS is still rising. Had some family matters to attend to over the weekend and didn't get to play as planned and I'm glad I didn't with the rise still going.

Like I said earlier -- I think it can still go lower. Personally, I'm waiting till tomorrow to invest a shit-ton for fun (don't really need money, but it's enjoyable to mess around with the market).

I'm gonna jump in around $3.

 

[Caesar III]

Based on the social club Badger is 12.18 for me which is the alltime-low as well? Where are you getting 6.xx?

Assume you're PS3?

It's $4.42 on Xbox right now

 

[Caesar III]

Ah, up there is the platform switch, alright

 

[reminder]

Badger and ZIT are on a low, maybe getting even lower. It seems i'll make some more investments soon.

 

[Miles X]

Badger slightly rising, think it hit its low.

 

[E92 M3]

Badger slightly rising, think it hit its low.

It's been fluctuating, but I am going to go in on Badger now -- low enough and fun to see where it goes.

 

[thesuperfunk]

PIS is almost touching $125 on the PS3 now ... how much longer til the bubble bursts?

 

[Codeblew]

It's been fluctuating, but I am going to go in on Badger now -- low enough and fun to see where it goes.

I might sell some of my PIS that I bought at $5 soon and invest in this.

 

[Miles X]

I think it's just steadily rising now, jump in fast!

 

[chrominance]

Got in relatively late on the PIS train (though still enough for 350% profit!) so I saved a new game after selling about 60% of my PIS holdings and dumping it all into Badger. FINGERS CROSSED, BABY. Also, I feel a bit like I'm in the movie Primer, what with all these save games I'm juggling (a game where I haven't sold any PIS or HAL, a game where I sold all my HAL but kept PIS, a game where I sold both HAL and PIS a few days ago...)

 

[elektrixx]

Invested in BDG when it hit $4.01 maybe an hour ago. Feelin' pretty good about it.

 

[Mastah]

Yep, 20 millions in just few hours. I'm on 100 millions with all 3 characters, so the golf course is a matter of days now

 

[saunderez]

Yeah I put every cent I had in it at $4.59. This is gonna be a good one, reminiscent of the climb of Ammunation after it bottomed out. Everyone get your Badger on whilst the growth potential is enormous.

What did Ammunation bottom out at?

 

[E92 M3]

What did Ammunation bottom out at?

IIRC about 24X.XX.

And yes, Badger will be fun to watch.

 

[Zdrutz]

Hope that talk of Badger skyrocketing is true, i just sold all my PIS and HAL and invested 150 mil total in BDG across all chars.

 

[duckroll]

That's still only a 4x return at most right? Badger seems like it could be much, much more rewarding if it actually starts climbing again...

 

[chrominance]

Badger's $7.18 on 360 this morning, so says the GTA stocks site. IT BEGINS.

It might be a slow climb - but it will climb.

Absolutely more rewarding -- with such low share prices, one could easily make billions of Badger. At the price 4.XX a share, buying Badger was essentially a guaranteed profit.

Based on trends, our huge profits won't come overnight, but they'll come. It's funny, I don't even play much SP anymore - but the stock market is super fun.

 

[SonnyBoy]

I just invested heavily in Badger per GAFs predictions. I'm nervous. Lol.

How will I know when to sell? What if I'm at work when it starts to decline?

 

[robertsan21]

They did not - just keep some equity in stocks and cash out what you need.

That sucks. why cant they fix such an easy bug?

Don't worry, I'll try to keep this updated with latest trends and will give my recommendations on when it's best to sell. And even if it declines while we're at work, the difference will be pennies per share. There's a very low chance that stock will just crash within a span of a few hours. Also, take into consideration that Bawsaq updates every few hours. You'll be fine, lol.

I am not a programmer, but remember someone saying it has to do with how the game was coded. Yes, that's a rudimentary response, but that's all I know, unfortunately. In terms of patching it - I don't think that there that many billionaires complaining right now.

 

[rallaren]

I bought Badger at 4.x and it's now 8.x. So far so good.

Even my second game chars got into it with their 100ks!

That's really great of you, much appreciated.

 

[SonnyBoy]

Oh, follow up question. Is the market only available for the SP characters to invest in? Or can my online character invest also?

Market is shutdown for Online right now -- between fixing glitches, opening up new ones, nerfing missions, and freaking about their economy, the last thing R* wants is the market to be open. Also, once it's open, expect heavy manipulation from R* -- their precious money cards can't be overshadowed by people becoming millionaires from stock. It's cynical of me, but everything they have done shows that they hate when people make too much money and nullify the purpose of purchasing GTA$ with real money.

The largest signed 32-bit integer you can have is roughly 2.7 billion. It's a computer architecture limit. There are ways around it (you could make the integer unsigned, or have a second variable to represent a "33rd bit") but I doubt they would be trivial to implement, given how fundamental the value likely is to many game systems.

Get on PIS, I think you can still manage to get a little out of it (xbox360) around $123 now. I think its previous high was $148

 

[Bunta]

It wouldn't let me buy 315 million worth of stocks at once. I had to split it up.

I agree with everything you've said. Thanks again.

 

[Bunta]

Just invested all my monies into Badger. Hope it shoots up.
