You ever roll down the streets of Los Santos and think, "Dang, I look good, but my bank account looks sadder than Franklin after Lamar robs him?"

That's right, we're talkin' about the glorious, glitchy, and sometimes sanity-bending world of the GTA 5 stock market.
How To Buy Stocks GTA 5 |
The Broker Who Won't Ask About Your... "Extracurricular Activities"
Forget fancy suits and briefcases, your stockbroker in GTA 5 is the internet. Yep, you can pull up the BAWSAQ and LCN Exchange on your phone or any laptop like it's a Tuesday night spent mindlessly scrolling through LifeInvader (remember that whole thing?). These bad boys are basically your one-stop shop for making more money than Lester makes off bailing you out of trouble.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.![]()
Pro Tip: Don't bother trying to understand half the company names. You got Fruit (healthy!), Facade (sounds fancy, must be good!), and Vapid (perfect for all your high-speed getaways!).
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.![]()
Million Dollar Tip: Don't Be a Chump, Follow Lester Like He's Your Shadow (The Cool Kind)
Now, here's where things get juicy. Our good ol' pal Lester, everyone's favorite conspiracy theorist with a headset, offers you a little somethin' somethin' special during specific story missions. He lets you in on a little secret about a company's stock price that's about to go boom thanks to, well, let's just say "unfortunate events" you might be involved in wink wink.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.![]()
This is your golden ticket. Buy a ton of those stocks right before Lester does his thing, and watch your money multiply faster than paparazzi around a car crash. Just remember, sell those suckers quick before the stock price comes crashing down faster than your escape helicopter after a botched heist.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.![]()
Bonus points: If you want to get fancy, you can also try to predict which stocks will go up based on in-game events and news reports. Just don't blame me if your bet on a company making self-lacing shoes backfires.
Remember: You're a High-Roller Now, Baby!
So there you have it, folks! With a little know-how and a whole lot of following Lester's shady advice, you'll be rolling in dough faster than you can say "diamond casino heist." Just remember, with great wealth comes great responsibility...like maybe finally paying off that pesky debt to Trevor (good luck with that!).
