Investing in Stock Market
One of the best ways to earn some big bucks in GTA 5 is by investing in the stock exchange. There are two main Stock Exchanges in the game namely; LCN and BAWSAQ. Check your phone at regular intervals to keep up with them.

LCN stock market is directly influenced by the events during the game. Pay attention to what’s going on around you. Whenever your actions are closely associated with some company listed in that stock market. Listen to radio for stock tips, they help.

Listen to the pre and post mission briefing attentively and you might get clues to how the upcoming events will affect the stock market.

For example, during assassination missions, you will be getting rid of certain people to influence stock prices. This is a perfect opportunity to make some quick cash since you will be one influencing the market.

BAWSAQ is basically a Rockstar Social Club run stock market, which is directly influenced by the overall GTA 5 community. For example, if the whole of community decides to robe a certain car type, it will affect the stock related to it on BAQSAQ.

You can also affect the stock prices directly by destroying the rival of the company you have invested in. For example, investing in an automobile company and then destroy the cars of all its rivals.

Similarly, if you want to buy the stock cheap and sell high: first step would be to destroy company’s assets; second step would be to buy its stock because its price will be low due to losses in first step, and finally, destroy its rival’s assets to restore its price.

Right now, it is best to invest in companies manufacturing weapons. Eventually, their prices will shoot and yield a profit. Read our Stock Market Guide for in-depth review of all the options you have when it comes to playing the stock market.

Strangers & Freaks / Random Events

These missions pop-up on your mini-map at different intervals and demand not much of an effort! At most, you will be asked to deliver a car, tow a car, or steal a car.

Completing these missions successfully will reward you for your efforts.

When it comes to recovering cash, you should really consider an alternative. Instead of returning the money recovered, just keep it because that’s more profitable.

Rob Citizens
While free roaming the city, you will come across many ATM machines. Lurk around the area and wait for someone to use these machines and then rob them for all their belongings to get their hard-earned cash.

Find Stolen Goods

Robbing a Bank
Nothing gets you more money than carrying out a heist. The peril is certainly there but it is worth the rewards. However, make sure you have all the recommended items like guns, armor, and vehicles before carrying out this operation out!
