In this specific stock exchange, you must take into account the news on the radio, as they sometimes indicate the good investments that can be taken advantage of at a given moment.
BAWSAQ
It's one thing to invest in stocks that will only depend on what's going on in your offline game, but in the case of BAWSAQ, this exchange is interconnected to the online universe of the game. Therefore, all actions and investments of other players will also influence the value of your shares. And while the returns can turn out to be astronomical, you have to keep in mind that the risks are also much greater here.

Investing in Murders
If you follow the story of the game, there will come a point where Franklin will have access to a series of missions proposed by Lester, all of them consisting of murders of important businessmen. Fortunately, each of the affected companies has a rival competitor, which means that the failures of one will be reflected in the fortunes of the other.
To reach the end of the game's main story, you'll have to complete Lester's first mission, but after that, it's best not to take any more missions until the end of the main campaign. Then, with some money to invest, go back to these missions and use the stock exchange to take maximum profit from your business interferences.
Check out the investments that should be made in each assassination mission:
- Hotel Assassination: invest your three characters in BetaPharmaceuticals (BAWSAQ) before starting the quest. Eventually the stocks will start to go up and once you reach 80% return, you should sell them.
- The Multi Target Assassination: buy Debonaire Cigarettes (LCN) shares before the mission and sell them when you reach 80% return.
- The Vice Assassination: before starting the mission buy Fruit shares (BAWSAQ) and sell them as soon as you reach 50% return.
