I guess its when something is in the negatives/red you should buy since if it goes to positive you sell and will be able to make profit?

Broadly speaking, you want to look for stocks that are falling on the price graph, and are preferably near the listed low price. Then you wait for the stock to rise above the price you bought it at.

When you go to your portfolio, the rightmost value is your total profit or loss if you sell all of that stock at that time, and the middle number is your return on investment. Ideally, you want to aim for a ROI of around 15%, though if you are having trouble getting used to it, maybe aim for 8-10%. ROI is how much of your original investment you get back as proffit. So if you buy 1 million in stocks and sell out at 10%, you would get 1,100,000 back, or 100 grand more than you originally invested.

It takes a while for stocks on LCN to rise fall, since they are tied to game time, so you may want to repeatedly sleep to pass time quickly. Turnaround on a stock is usually around 5 days if you find a good one (everyone will have a stock that rises and falls fairly steadily on a 5 day cycle).

I would avoid the BAWSAQ index since it's tied to global online activity, and it's easier to screw up. Once you get comfortable, BAWSAQ can offer better ROI though over a few hours of real time.

If you want to play the stock market with Lester's assassination missions, only do the first one, DO NOT do any of the other assassination missions until AFTER completing the main story so that you can use the combined sum of all the heists there were pulled off.

Follow this guide, it's a great help: http://gta.wikia.com/Lester%27s_Assassinations
