To make sure you succeed, we'll tell you how to earn money in Story Mode and become the Warren Buffet of Los Santos in our GTA 5 stock guide.

Take a look at our GTA 5 tips guide if you need help with the story mode. Furthermore, we also reveal all GTA 5 cheats in a separate guide.

How does stock trading work in GTA 5?

The stock market in GTA 5 works similarly to the real world. Optimally, you buy cheap shares of companies in an upward trend to sell them afterwards at a higher price. The development of the stock prices is linked to the story mode of GTA 5. Consequently, unlike in real life, you can directly influence the value of the shares and earn as much money in story mode until your account is overflowing.

To become the Warren Buffet of Los Santos, you'll have to approach stock trading in GTA 5 strategically and have a basic understanding of the market. In the economic world of Grand Theft Auto, there are several companies that compete with each other. If a company is doing badly, its share price will fall.

However, the direct competitor benefits from the competitor's bad situation, which is reflected in a rising stock price. So, if you buy the GTA 5 shares of a company and make sure that the competitor's business doesn't run anymore, the value of your portfolio will increase and you'll get rich.

In the following, we will introduce you to all the companies listed on the stock exchange, as well as their industry and competition:

How do I buy stocks in GTA 5 in single player mode?

You buy stocks in GTA 5 using your in-game cell phone. There are two stock exchanges available to you in the "Finance" section. The prices of BAWSAQ shares are determined by the supply and demand of the online community. Check out our GTA online guide to making money if you're looking for investment tips.

In our GTA 5 stock guide, we'll focus on the LCN (Liberty City National) stock market, which is affected by your activities in GTA 5's single player mode. When you take out the CEO of a company in Lester's assassination missions, the stock prices of the competing company will rise.

If you use your insider knowledge skillfully, you can make profits of several hundred Percent with GTA 5 shares. Absolutely, your profits will be higher if you complete the associated assassination missions as late as possible and you have already saved up a small fortune beforehand.

How to earn billions with assassination missions

The first assassination mission, "Hotel Murder", is the only mission you need to complete in order to progress in the story. First, make sure that all three characters are selectable before heading to Lester (L icon) and starting the first assassination mission in GTA 5. Seize the opportunity and invest all the money of each protagonist in BettaPharmaceuticals shares (BET).

Start the mission with Michael and take out the target. Allow a few in-game hours to pass after you complete the mission and check your deposits. Unsurprisingly, you will notice that BET's stock prices have increased significantly shortly after the assassination. To find the best possible time to sell your GTA 5 shares, go to sleep (without saving!) until the share price stops rising.

Then, sell your BET shares and enjoy your first big stock win in GTA 5 story mode. Immediately invest the profits in the securities of the ailing Blikington Research Group. Like any stock in GTA 5 single player, it recovers after some time, so you'll earn even more GTA dollars.

We recommend that you complete the rest of the assassination missions only after completing the story mode, when you have the most cash to invest. Your investment strategy will remain the same for all other assassination missions. Of course, you'll be trading GTA 5 stocks each time, which will be affected by the mission progression:

GTA 5 stock guide: earn money fast

There are also other methods to profit from the stock market in Los Santos. For example, try trading airline stocks and do the following: Invest in the stock of an airline of your choice (AirEmu or FlyUS). Then go to the airport and destroy the planes of the rival of which you don't have GTA 5 shares in your portfolio. Rejoice at the rising prices of your stock and take moderate profits.

Trading Lifeinvader shares (LFI) is even easier and more lucrative. To do this, check the current LCN prices of GTA 5 shares and wait for the moment when the security has fallen by more than 60 percent and is worth between 2 and 4 GTA dollars per share. Then you go to sleep (without saving!) until you sell the security at a price of 6 to 9 GTA dollars.

Following the same scheme, you can get rich with all the stocks in GTA 5, provided they are traded on the LCN stock market. This is because every stock is subject to an invisible cycle and always reaches highs and lows. You just have to be careful to buy cheap and sell expensive. If you accidentally buy a stock at the high point, unfortunately you will never make money with it.

Disclaimer: Save the game before each investment round. However, it is important that you do notsave while sleeping, otherwise the strategies of our GTA 5 stock guide will not work. Also, if in doubt, overwrite your save, so all your money will be lost forever if you make a mistake.
