So first things first; this guide applies if you’re working your way through GTA 5 Story Mode’s main questline, and have not done the Lester Assassinations, using Franklin (the Jay Norris one carried out by Michael doesn’t count).
If you’ve already used Franklin to complete all of Lester’s Assassination missions, you’ve missed the boat on game-breaking money – but there’s still a good chance you can make enough money to buy just about everything, with this guide (show thumb for other investors’ guide); there’s a link in the description below.
So for this guide; I’m going to assume you’ve never used the in-game stock market before, and this is one of your first playthroughs. …and I don’t want to harp on it; but for clarity: Do not do the Lester Assassination missions without your seed funding and investments in place.
That means you do not visit the L on the map with Franklin when it becomes available. Can’t stress it enough. Also; don’t buy any of the business’s just yet, either. Steer away from vehicle mods, clothes, and tat’s, too. If you already know what you’re doing with the stock market, know how to quickly jump forward in time; and know the save scumming trick; you can jump ahead to the timestamp shown on screen – or use the shortcut in the description below. Righteo; the Stock Market in GTA 5 operates like the stock market in real life; stocks go up and down based on in-world events, announcements, and general happenings.
This can include market reactions to Heists; the untimely death of CEOs, and news from rival companies; there are also some random fluctuations, but we’re not going to worry about those. Instead, we’ll be concentrating on major market movers. Now before we get into the actual stock tips, there are a few things we need to cover first. Starting with the basic mechanics around buying and selling stock. The stock market is unlocked not long after Michael sorts out Jay Norris, in Friend Request; where we meet Ricky. To purchase stock, open your phone. That’s up on your D-pad for a controller, or the up-arrow on your keyboard.
