The assassination missions you can do as Franklin (through Lester) are fun in and of themselves, but with a little know-how, you can also use them to make truckloads of money. Enter BAWSAQ – the GTA5 equivalent of Wall Street, accessible through your phone (more on that in the How To Navigate The Stock Market section).
Each of these missions is followed by a brief turbulence in the stock exchange. Taking advantage of these can be a bit tedious, but with enough to invest you can make dizzying amounts of cash. A few things to keep in mind before you start:
The window of opportunity can often be short; remember that saving as Michael or Franklin advances the time by 6 hours, while saving as Trevor advances it by 12. The quicksave on the phone doesn’t advance it at all.
The stocks are divided between two markets: the BAWSAQ and the LCN. The former is online only, so it requires a persistent connection to the internet and the Rockstar Social Club.
The market is dormant during weekends, so make sure you start each of the missions on a Monday.
Don’t forget to invest with all three of the characters.
How To Navigate The Stock Market
All of the stock market transactions are done through your phone, so you can buy, sell and check current prices (using the “My Portfolio” tab) regardless of your location. To buy, you should open your phone, go to the “Money” section, select the appropriate stock market (BAWSAQ or LCN), click on the company you want, select “Buy”, then click and hold the “+” sign until you’ve bought all you can, then click “Buy and Confirm”. Deciding when to sell is done by choosing the stock market, selecting the “My Portfolio” tab and checking the “Return Percentage” column. When you decide to sell, you just choose the market, enter “My Portfolio” and click the “Sell All” option.
1. The Hotel Assassination
Before the mission: Make sure it’s Monday. Switch between the characters and invest everything into Betta Pharmaceuticals (BET) using your phone. After the mission: Wait for the return percentage to rise to 50%, then switch between the characters and sell everything. This should happen after about 18 hours. If you choose to advance time by saving, be sure to check after every save.
2. The Multi-Target Assassination
Before the mission: Advance time until it’s Monday. Cycle through the characters and invest everything into Debonaire (DEB) on your phone. After the mission: Wait for the return percentage to hit 80% (after about 8 hours), then sell everything. After that, buy as many Redwood (RWC) stocks as you can. The return percentage you’re looking for this time is a whooping 300%, which should happen sometime between 48 and 96 hours after you invest.
3. The Vice Assassination
Before the mission: Check the clock and see if it’s Monday. If not, advance time until it is. Invest all of your characters’ money in Fruit (FRT) using your phone’s browser. After the mission: Wait for the return percentage of 50%, then sell (this should happen after 6 or so hours, so you shouldn’t advance time). Invest your freshly made cash into Facade (FAC). After 48 hours, the return percentage should be at 33%, which is when you should sell.
4. The Bus Assassination
Before the mission: Make sure it’s Monday. Do nothing else. After the mission: Invest everything your guys own into Vapid (VAP) using your phone. Wait for a 100% return percentage, then sell. It should happen about 48 hours after you buy.
5. The Construction Assassination
Before the mission: Advance time until it’s Monday. Invest everything you have into Gold Coast (GCD) on your phone. After the mission: Wait for about 24 hours, and look for an 80% return. Sell everything.
We managed to make somewhere around 2 billion thanks to these missions, which is more than we could ever spend. Now go forth, brave stock broker, and milk that BAWSAQ for everything it’s got.
For this mission, you will need to buy GoldCoast (GCD) stocks before you take the mission. Once it is completed, sell the stocks after they rise on the LCN to about 80% return percentage.
Brief overview of Lester's assassination missions in GTA 5
This means that the players must purchase shares in rival companies before the assassination and sell them after the operation is finished. BAWSAQ and LCN are the two markets in which participants can invest their money.
Devin Weston gives Michael, Franklin, and Trevor repo jobs and does not pay them at the end of it. This angers the protagonists and they finally get their revenge against him after he even tries to get Michael's family killed and asks Franklin to kill Michael.
Invest all the money of all three protagonists in Bilkington (BIL) stocks on the LCN site. Wait a few in-game days before selling the Bilkington stocks so they can reach their maximum value; the maximum percentage of return is ~80%.
While no investment is guaranteed to be recession-proof, some tend to perform better than others during downturns. These include health care and consumer staples stocks (or funds tracking those sectors), large-cap stocks and income investments.
This time, players should invest in Fruit (FRT) before the mission. After the return percentage hits 50%, they must sell all the stocks invested and reinvest in Facade (FAC), which tops out at a max return of 33 per cent, at which time, players should sell all the stocks.
The day trading strategy involves investing money in Lifeinvader stock and then checking the price changes every ten minutes. If it goes up you sell. if it goes down, you buy. This will make the most money in the long run.
The Redwood Cigarette Assassination: Invest in Debonaire Cigarettes before the mission. After the mission, sell all of your share of Debonaire when it reaches maximum profit (around 80%).
Before and early in a recession, stock prices often fall, making it a good time to buy. If you're one who continues to dollar-cost average into your 401(k) plan, IRA, or other investment accounts, buying as stock prices fall pays off in the long run.
If you have $1,000, starting an IRA at an online brokerage is a great way to start working toward long-term wealth generation. For 2022, investors can deposit as much as $6,000 into an IRA -- and another $1,000 if they're older than 50.
