You have to make sure you invest in the right company. DON'T invest in the company whose CEO you are killing, and peak prices for stocks happen around 8 in game hours after the assassination, so don't take too long.

Also, if you haven't done the Redwood Cigarettes one, after buying and selling Debonaire stock, Redwood jumps back from the event so make sure you invest in Redwood and you'll make a fortune.

Also, if you haven't beaten the game, I'd save Lester's missions for after The Big Score for maximum profits. You could make upwards of 1 billion dollars with some smart stock market choices.

*SPOILERS* As far as I know there's only 5 Lester missions and the construction one is the last one, so I can't do any of those. I'm pretty sure I waited for more than 8 hours checking every minute or so, but the price of Gold Coast only went up tll about 50%. Oh well, i'm too far ahead already to reload. It's been down for quite sometime now, hopefully I it goes up a little at least and I'll sell it. What is the use of having all the money anyways? aside from investing it in properties to get you more money? With the first heist itself you have enough money to buy guns, mod cars and get clothes till your satisfied, so I don't really see the point. Kinda goes against the plot too, to have millions in your pocket. I guess it was meant to be done after the game is over like you said.

I did the same. I invested all my money on beta pharmaceuticals during the mission with Franklin, then with Trevor and Michael but I took the time to explore a bit and see where the stock goes and I noticed that after about 20 minutes (real time) it was at a peak high of about a 230,000 profit with Franklin so after I waited for a bit and it remained unchanged, I sold all my stocks at that point with all three characters. You have another chance at this. Invest in debonaire for the next Lester mission. But try not to save the game in a safe house because then you can't control if the stock drops drastically. Just quick save and maybe 1 side mission is fine (20 minute window) but if I were you I would restart to another save if you have any earlier saved games, because you should try to gain as much money as you can from betta pharmacueitcals then invest in debonaire with all you have for a max profit. Hope this helpsToejammeister
The only save game I have is after the construction assassination, and I've played like 5 or 6 missions after that even, so reloading is gonna be a pain but I guess I don't have a choice. Will try to load back and wait 20 minutes. Thanks for the advice.

*May contain minor spoilers*

From the get go I never really focused much on the stock since I don't have xbox live and one of the markets relies on being online. Anyways, I'm at 50% of the game and figured it's now or never. So, when I did Lester's construction assassination, I invested all of Franklin's money before completing the mission and Trevor's and Michael's money right after completing the mission (a guide said that you can still invest after completing if you do it quickly). That's 150k for Franklin and Trevor and about 550k for Michael. I've played about 2 side missions going on the third and maybe a couple days in game has passed, and when I check the market they only make half of it back, even Franklin. Did I do something wrong?


P.S. Do you unlock more missions by buying properties?

I sent about 5 people up there and on the sixth one (the runaway bride), I got dragged in the camp as well at gun point. I was like wtf I've been serving you guys so well, but I figured that's just the end of that story. Today after playing a few hours I get another hitchhiker and I can't send her there anymore. Tried looking online but no one seems to have had this ending. Anyone else experience this? Why did they attack me?

[QUOTE="Aesthete18"]It depends on what you're into. I just got my S4 a month back as well, and I've sampled many apps. I've tried comic book /book readers, security systems, photography apps, games and wallpaper apps. If any of this interests you, I could recommend some good apps.ACL0V3R

 

All of these do :D.  Recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 

Not sure if you'll still see this but I'd recommend ComicRack for reading, All-in-One Toolbox for security and Zedge for wallpapers. I only play Drawsomething and Where's my Water, so can't really recommend any games. Aside from that some of my favourite apps are Pocket Casts for podcasts, Airdroid for transfering stuff from/to PC and 8tracks

I'm sure there's a way but I can seem to find any help online. I've got all these great HD wallpapers but everytime I set them as wallpaper I'm asked to crop it. It there any app that can fix this? I'm using an S4 btw.

I was only going to post when I fixed the problem but I've spent many hours on it and can't get Kies to work.

Thanks guys for the help.

If anyone is having this problem and can't get it fixed. I've started using AirDroid, it's very effective and useful. You can transfer anything with it. You can also use SyncMe Wireless to backup your files.

I have nothing but problems using Kies, and I am not the only one.

I just avoid using it all all costs. I simply use Windows Explorer to add media or whatever to my Galaxy Tab 2.

The only other thing I would think of using it for is firmware updates. But even that has other methods.

It is just a very buggy program.

Edit: Keep in mind that Kies will also install the MTP driver. So if you installed one beofre hand, it just got overwritten by Kies.

I eventually just uninstalled Kies and the MTP driver and then did a clean MTP install, not installing Kies again.

Good luck.

So I've read, I'll try to look up other ways if adamosmaki's suggestions fails to solve it. Did you try the customer service? I accidently stumbled on the US Live Chat Support. She was helpful but I was redirected to my own country's chat support which turned out to be a joke. I spent 20 minutes answering questions about where I purchased the phone and where I downloaded the Kies. He never even asked me to describe the problem or anything. I eventually called them up and the guy said reinstall Kies and if that doesn't work bring in the phone for service. I'm like are you **** kidding me?! This is obviously not the phone's fault since it's clearly a universal problem.
