There's pretty much no risk with the Lester's stuff, just listen carefully what to buy.
What I'm interested in now after missions, what could be good ways to get some cash. With a quick look I saw some mentions about destroying company X's airplanes while having company Y's stock, and stuff like that.

Also, don't sell immediately after the mission ends. When I did the pharmaceutical assassination, my investment was +55% straight after the mission finished, but topped out at +80ish% about half an hour (real time) later.
I also made $110,000 for returning the stolen item on one of the random encounters

The single most important tip regarding stocks: Don't do the Lester Assassination missions until you finish the story.

Too late for me :sad:
I didn't really care about stocks at the time and all I remember Lester saying was not to invest in certain stocks. I don't remember him telling me who to invest in.
Has anyone tried to increase stock prices by destroying rival companies? Taco bomb vs Cluckin bell for example. I'm trying to increase Air Emu stocks by destroying Fly US aircraft as recommended on IGN but hasn't worked yet...

I've noticed the stocks for Los Santos Transport go down during the night, and then pick up as the day goes on, before dropping again. If you time it right, perhaps you can make a profit buy buying shares at night then selling them during the day? I'm just about to try this 👍

I was curious about this also, as per IGN suggestion I went and bombed the pants out of the Clucking Bell Factory - well, any gas tanks, and all the trucks, along with a number of trucks leaving on the highway.... did it work?
No... the Clucking bell shares rose by a few tenths of a percent, whilst the Taco Bomb shares didn't really move at all.
I suspect this type of practice doesn't work, the people that reported that it does probably just got lucky with timing.
Also, I see there's no mention of sharetrading in the Brady guide.. so maybe it's just that much of an active element in the game outside of the Lester missions.

I always seem to lose money when I invest, so I ain't really gonna bother with it. I wonder how it will play out online?

Well I spent some time mainly just looking at the LCN yesterday. And first of all, this concerns only the prices moving on their own without any in game action involvement (mission or something else). After completing the main story in my case.
One thing to note for starters.. The blue graph lines that you see for the index and all of the stocks, you can forget about them. They stay completely static all the time and do not change AT ALL. Only the days on the bottom keep moving to represent the day you are in the game. Also when looking at the market list, all of the precentage changes you see do not move AT ALL either. The info that you see there about the highest and lowest prices next to the graphs is also pretty much irrelevant, the stocks will never reach those levels, unless they happen to be already very close to one of them.
But still, the prices do change obviously, not by much, but they do. The thing I noticed was they seem to change by few decimals at a time, quite slowly, whether its a lower price stock or vice versa. So in that case for any reasonable profits, you'd only want to look for the cheapest stocks. It's all about percentage after all.
I started watching the 3 cheapest ones in the list for a while. Which were Lifeinvader (LFI), Redwood (RWC) and Logger (LOG).
During few in-game days, their prices moved like this (lowest-highest price spotted):
LFI: 2.66 - 3.29
RWC: 7.0 - 9.11
LOG: 8.17 - 9.47
Naturally they didn't go from lowest to highest in a linear way, but there were ups and downs in between. With only LFI I managed to make $200k quite easily couple of times, with a 10m buy. So thats only a 2% profit. 10% or close seemed easily possible for all of those stocks.
Of course I can't say if the general price ranges are same for everyone. These should be the cheapest stocks for everyone I'd think though.
Easy way to follow the movements is just to buy one stock of anything, and keeping an eye how the stock price starts to move.
Thats it for now.

Lifeinvader is still going down for me, it's at $2.30, how far does it go down?
It doesn't work. Many people have tried on the GTA forums and nobody has gotten it to work, some just got lucky.
For casual trading not related to any of the story just buy low sell high. When the stock dips to its lowest value buy it and sell it after it goes up.
