I actually figured out the stock trading stuff on my own when I got to Franklin's first sniping/assination mission. Lester's makes it very clear to trade stocks, so everyone should get that (if i got it, no one should miss it) Some additional tips and questions from me. Referring to the 'Hotel Assination' mission, which is around mission 23. 1. Make sure you buy the Betta Pharma stock BEFORE you actually kill your target. I killed the guy at night and then invested most all of Franklin's $214,000 dollars into the stock (most of that cash came from mission 12, 'The Jewel Heist') Thing is, the stock starts climbing almost immediately after the kill, not the next morning. The pre-kill price was $190 and within minutes it was $195 and climbing. I got most of Franklin's money invested, but when i switched over to Micheal, it was already $220 and climbing. Unless I am doing something wrong, it takes forever to buy shares banging on the 'A' button. WTF. It took like 8 to 10 min to get $200,000 of MIcheal's money invested (he had $545,000) and by then, the stock was at 260. Frustrating. I never even got to Trevor. Is there a faster way to buy stocks? Rather than clicking on the '+' sign with 'A' over and over hundreds of times?2. I made about $74,000 with Franklin, going from $214,000 to $278,000 on the trading. Micheal went up about $28,000, but then in the next scene, his son drugged him and I think some of that money disappeared. WTF!!! 3. I ended up having Franklin buying the scrapyard for $275,000. Not sure if that was smart. It supposed pays $175 per wrecked car? Has anyone done this? Aidsx3? What's the payout like? Thousands? More? It better be a lot, because I think i screwed up because now I don't have a large purse ready to go for the next assination/stock trading mission. I used all my cash. Even Micheal. I spent $80,000 buying a bar/nightclub up by Chiliad. Not sure how good that will be. It seems better to just buy stocks, but with that, I know you need to buy five properties to complete one of the 16 'Misc. Events' criteria to get 100% completion status. Question. I noticed some small little gold skulls on the map. But when i took a character over to them, nothing happened. What is the symbol? What's there? What does it mean? This raises a larger question with the symbols on the map. How can one tell who should do what mission? Especially the "?" symbols on the map. It's a pain in the azz constantly switching between characters for the 'Stranger & Freaks' missions (the '?') Are some specifically for certain characters? Flight school was a PAIN in the azz. Get that sh1t out of the game. Lame. FRanklin's new house is the sh1t!!! 1. Hold down the A button. 3. It really depends on what you do. I get maybe 5k/wk out of it. Question: All of the events on the map are color coded. Blue for Michael, green for Franklin, Orange for Trevor. Those skulls are Rampage missions for Trevor. Really fun, I think. To reiterate, you can leave the rest of the Lester missions until you do the last heist. The last heist is worth several million dollars for each character.

Thanks. I feel a bit stupid, but I would swear I tried that (holding down) and it didn't work (buying stocks)
Thanks on the skulls! Yeah, only in GTA could a person have fun with a mission called "Kill 25 Rednecks!". I felt like I was right back in Fayetteville WV!!!
I am red/green color blind, so ok, that's why i am having issues there. The colored Letters all pretty much look the same to me.
As far as the Lester missions, don't you need to do the prep missions for him?

OH ok. Thanks. I'll leave those be for a while.
On to something new. Has anyone else noticed that there is kind of an easy free pass in the sewer system, in terms of getting away from 4-star chases? Talking about using the hole in the side of the main ten-lane freeway, right in the heart of the city. This hole was used in the 'Heist' mission, and leads to a underground construction zone beneath the city. A huge system. This leads to a subway connection, which leads to a work zone underground, and if you keep traveling, to a very long set of sewer tunnells. It takes forever to walk it (maybe 30 minutes?)
At least a 4-star chase, they can't get you. Work the initial tunnells with a sniper rifle and an self respecting CoD player will simple mow down dozens of cops and fully armored SWAT soldiers coming at you. After a while, 10 to 15 minutes, they slow down and if you move away, the pursuit ends.
Haven't tried this on a 5-star yet but it seems like a ridiculously easy 'Get Free' technique to use.

I did it. I parachute directly into the hanger with the single fighter in it, and immediately take cover behind some crates in the back. Snipe soldiers as they come in, throw grenades at jeeps. Tanks show up, but they can't get through the wreckage, so this motherfuc ker GETS OUT OF HIS TANK and tries to rush me on foot. It's too good a chance to pass up. I kill him, sprint to the tank, kill the other two tanks in it. I drive the tank to the "gunship" furthest from where I was holed up, and switch vehicles. Reinforcements come, but it's too late. I'm halfway down the runway. I clear the fence by <10 meters, the AA rounds don't. I sail into the southern sky with my new toy... ...except the thing doesn't actually have any guns on it. Pretty gay, right?

NICE
props to Aidsx3
What he did sounds a very difficult. If you haven't played this game, the military base has some very aggressive AI soldiers in it. That wasn't an easy achievement.
Self portraits kicks ass.

For those who haven't beaten the game yet, I'll say this in the simplest, least spoilerific way possible. Pick C.
On a separate note tanks are awesome. Beast mode at it's best.

Well damn, Rockstars' emblem editor kicks the shit out of Treyarchs' -- you get a way bigger variety of shapes, options and can have over 64 layers if you're so inclined. :3

That's a lot of cash, at least at the level I'm at. Like, more than my total career earnings up to this point (at level 27). That buys any car in the game with one or two exceptions, and I'm pretty sure any apartment/garage. Nice.

I just created a crew to try and piece some cool people together from other places including here. If interested look below. My 360 GT is *The Blur 77* and I play most nights a little before midnight ET or just after. socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/hollow_points_crew

If anybody didn't know you can be in several crews at once and you just have to switch to the one you want to play under at that time.

Bought myself a nice new apartment; Majestic Richards, Apt 51. Has perfect view of the ocean and the ferris wheel, all for just $253,000. :3

What's with all the bad sport nonsense? If you're really a dick then your friends can just not play with you simple as that.

What's with all the bad sport nonsense? If you're really a dick then your friends can just not play with you simple as that. I think it's a nice idea, just implemented badly. I think "bad sport" points should only result from quitting or deliberately failing jobs (hard to quantify that, granted). The fact that destroying other people's personal cars (they lose a few hundred bucks) makes you a Bad Sport while killing them (they lose 2k) does not is a bit baffling. Also, I dislike the way the Bad Sport system trumps player invites. One of my friends is a Bad Sport currently, and he can't accept any job invites from non-Bad Sports, and we can't accept his. I think at very most you should get a warning when inviting/joining a Bad Sport. Being prevented from playing with a friend full stop punishes me as well as him, and I did nothing "wrong" (still a funny concept to me in the context of GTA).
