huge problem with lester stock market missions

[Nexures]

so i just finished the main storyline, and im going for the multi target assassination. i invested all my cash in DEB before the mission, slept few days after to get the return % to max (50%), sold all shares and bought redwood. the guide says you were suppose to wait 48 in game hours to get 300%+ return, but ive already slept like 15 times and the return% just drops for me. anyone can help ?

I don't know if it helps, but for reference, Michael sleeps 6 hours, Franklin 10, and Trevor 12. I noticed one time with Trevor I slept right through the stock peak, so I reloaded a previous save to be more careful with Michaels short sleeps.

Morale of the story: use Michael if you're unsure, check stock after every sleep, and save before you even start the mission from Lester. Also, check multiple sources online, they vary a little. Here's the one I used: http://ca.ign.com/wikis/gta-5/Assassination_Investor

I started the stock trading at Vice assassination (after completing storyline), and still ended up with 170,000,000 per character.

You gotta reload a save or redo a mission. Sleep without actually saving. Use quick save when you get a good return, if reload the save. Takes a lot of save and reload if you want to get close to the max turns stated in the guides. If you manage to get anywhere between 1.5 to 1.7 billion it's good enough. You can then do the side mission where you pick up a guy and take him to the airport within 2 minutes and he will give you stock tips with 30% max turn.

i used igns as well, and for the 2nd mission my stock doesnt go up to 80%. it goes as far as 50...

thanks for that darkzeroneo. i never knew about that :D

i just did the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ missions again ;/ i dont know what the hell is going on. I bought DEB shares BEFORE the mission, sold DEB shares AFTER the mission, only it didnt go up to 80% for me it only went up 50. So now i bought RWC shares, and it was suppose to spike up to 300%, but for me its only -43%. what the hel;?

[Nexures]

the highest return % i ever got for RWC was 150%

It's possible if you manually wait and check every ingame hour but you're generally not going to get the max % stated in the guides on your first try.

Did you do the assassiantion and investment on a monday?

I'd also take the guides projected % returns with a pinch of salt - many were written 2 years ago and some of the returns have been tweaked with successive patches.

Took me tons of reloads to get it to 78%.

it doesnt matter guys. i just went ahead with the numbers i got, and all together (with the random event) i got 1.1kkk for each character
