GTA 5 investment guide: What stocks to buy in 2023 and why?

One of the most unique aspects of GTA 5 is that Rockstar Games included a working stock market in the game and allowed players to trade and make in-game money from it. The gaming studio added two stock exchanges, which can be operated either from story mode or online multiplayer. However, many players are unaware of its utilities and trading tricks.

Trading in the in-game stock market is a complex process requiring basic knowledge about real-life stock markets. This article briefly explains which stocks to buy in GTA 5 Story Mode in 2023 to make the most profits.

List of stocks that will make you a millionaire in GTA 5 Story Mode in 2023

Before starting trading on the GTA 5 stock market, one should note that there are two exchanges through which you can buy and sell stocks: Liberty City National (LCN) Exchange and BAWSAQ. Players should focus on the LCN Stock Market since it is the only one that can be accessed and manipulated from Story Mode.

The following are the stocks that investors in Grand Theft Auto 5 should buy in 2023 to make the most profits:

1. Betta Pharmaceuticals (BET)
2. Bilkinton Research (BIL)
3. Merryweather (MER)
4. Debonaire (DEB)
5. Redwood (REC)
6. Fruit (FRT)
7. Facade (FAC)
8. Vapid (VAP)
9. GoldCoast (GCD)
10. Tinkle (TNK)

While the list is in chronological order, there are certain situations and conditions that GTA 5 players must meet to get the most benefits. Firstly, a significant portion of the trading must be done after the final mission, choosing The Third Way. Until then, players are advised to save money and not buy expensive items.

Secondly, the market behavior is directly related to Lester Crest's Assassination missions. Therefore, these missions must be avoided until you get the payment from the Union Depository heist.

However, before that, you must complete The Hotel Assassination mission (part of Lester’s Assassination missions) to progress in the story. The following are the events and stocks that should be traded accordingly:

The Hotel Assassination

• Betta Pharmaceuticals (BET)
• Bilkinton Research (BIL)

Finale: The Third Way

• Merryweather (MER)

Lester’s Multi-Target Assassination missions

• Debonaire (DEB)
• Redwood (REC)
• Fruit (FRT)
• Facade (FAC)
• Vapid (VAP)
• GoldCoast (GCD)

Hitch List random event

• Tinkle (TNK)

These missions directly impact these companies, allowing investors to profit from the situation. For a detailed explanation of when and how to trade these stocks, you can refer to the GTA 5 stock market guide.

There are definite figures for how much money you can make from the stock market. But, if you trade correctly, all three characters should become multi-millionaires by the end.

The next Grand Theft Auto game is also rumored to include a working stock market. However, Fans eagerly await confirmation after Rockstar Games makes a GTA 6 announcement.
