GTA 5 recently made a return to Game Pass as well, and many players have jumped once again to play this amazing game while waiting for the next installment of the series. In both story and online mods, players have the option to invest in different stocks and sell them for a profit. Like in real life, the value of stocks gets high and low, so here are the best stocks to buy in GTA 5 Story Mode.
The Best Stock to Buy and Sell in GTA 5 Story Mode
Rockstar Games is known for making its in-game world realistic as possible. While GTA 5 may not be the most realistic game it has made still some mechanisms work the same way as real life. Stock Market is one of them where players can purchase and sell stock to either make a profit or lose a lot of money. So same in real life, it is important to understand how Stock Market works and how to use it in the best way possible.
Each time something happens in real life, it has a direct impact on the stock market. Now that change can happen in 24 hours and then everything goes back to normal or may take longer. So you can either go full stock-market-broker in GTA 5 and constantly check the stock market to make a profit every second, or simply wait for the right moment. We recommend the latter because it is definitive you will make a profit and it is the fool-proof method of making money via the Stock Market in GTA 5.
Same as real life, a tragic accident to the CEO or a key member of a company will have a direct impact on their share prices. In GTA 5 there are a series of assassination missions that Lester gives you, all of which are persons with direct impact on big companies like Debonair Cigarettes or BetaPharmaceutical.
So the first tip we have for you is to wait until you’ve finished the story mode and completed all heists to have more money which means you can make more profit. You can also use this method with lesser money, but the profit will be less also. So the choice is yours, whether you want to make the most profit at the end or make less profit while playing the story mode.

Executing the method is quite simple. Before completing an assassination mission, you will buy a series of certain stocks which we’ll list below, and then sell them a few minutes after the mission is completed. Then you wait 2-3 days and purchase another stock, wait another few days, and sell those again. Check the list below to understand better when to purchase and sell which stocks.
Missions | Stock to Buy Before Mission | Stock to Buy and Sell After Mission |
Hotel Assassination | BetaPharamaceuticals (BAWSAQ) | Sell Beta After the Mission. Wait 3 days, and buy Bilkington (LCN) stocks. Wait 4-5 days and sell them. |
The Multi-Target Assassinations | Debonair Cigarettes (LCN) | Sell Debonair stocks after the mission. Immediately purchase Redwood (LCN), wait 2-3 days, and sell Redoowd. |
The Vice Assassination | Fruit (BAWSAQ) | Sell Fruit stocks after completing the mission. Buy Facade (BAWSAQ) and wait 2-3 days, and then sell. |
The Bust Assassination | None | Buy Vapid (BAWSAQ) after completing the mission. Wait 2-3 days, and then sell them. |
The Construction Assassination | GoldCoast (LCN) | Sell GoldCoast after completing the mission. |
Now depending on how much you’ve invested, you will make more or less profit. The last tip I have for you is to make sure you invest with all three characters and not only with Franklin. There is no good to have a single character with millions while the other is broke.
