Buying when prices are at their highest means they would only drop thereafter, resulting in a loss. If they were to rise again after a lengthy wait, you'd probably end up with a very small profit or break-even.
Buying shares when prices are as low as possible, waiting for the share price to rise again and selling them when they reach their peak is how you maximise your profit. Just remember to buy low and sell high, always keeping an eye on the markets.
I always have between 15 and 20 million invested with each character. Just over half of what I have in total. I've dumped virtually all of my cash into various companies temporarily at one point or another though.

I'm confused. I bought $100k of stocks in Bilkington last night. Stock were at $4.5 at lowest and the info says it's highest in the previous week was $22. The graph was going up and down all through last week. However, once I bought the stocks, I went to sleep and checked again.... no increase. I continued to do this for an in-game week, but the stocks never get higher than about $4.9 Will they every rise to £22 (or anything other that just a few points?) Cheers.

positive... the highest price recoreded in the previous week was $22
it shows:
High $22
Low $3
Value $4.5 (What I bought it at)
Last $11
The graph (last weeks) goes up and down daily with huge highs and lows.... but now I have bought shares..... nothing..... only tiny peaks.
Am I doing something completely wrong?

I guess it's every 3 hours. HAL shares are now at ~$6.40 each, I feel like an idiot for selling too early. Well, it's better than selling them too late. PIS shares are now at ~$4.20 after being at a low of $2.26 (which is the price I bought them at).
Yeah I dropped out HAL too early as well, when they started dropping. That has definitly been the best buy recently though, they were as low as .50, now 6.43. I think I bought at 1.50 and sold at 4.50.
I'm pretty certain the high value is all time high. Like for instance right now the 'High' value on Pißwasser is 151.12 but it hasn't been that price for a long time, the 'last 7 days' data is $21.90-$4.19, so it was at 21.90 at the start of the week.

I'm not so sure... the previous week graph definately has a peak going up to $22... you can see the numbers at the side.
The graph looks similar to this one. You can see the Highest was $266.78 and the graph shows that it peaks to this value on Tuesday evening

Buy low is the only tip you really need. If the high is $200 and they're currently at $195 don't bother. If the high is $200 and they're at $50, buy. Don't think they'll rise back to the high though, get out with a 10-20% yeild at best.
As for the BAWSAQ again look at the graphs and buy shares that are at rock bottom after a downward slope or just on the process of heading back up.
Keep an eye on Crevis. They've been heading downward all week. Wait for them to reach rock bottom and stabilise or start rising then buy. I bought too early, yesterday, and they've kept falling. They should start rising soon though.

anim8r, like I said in my post few pages back, the graph doesn't represent anything at all. It doesn't move at all while your game session is on, no matter if its more than one in game week even. It will only change (quite randomly) when you start a new session.
So only sure way is to follow a stock price yourself and see how it fluctuates.
This is concerning the LCN atleast.

The percentages are also buggy on the LCN, they don't seem to update. Some of the stock prices have been the same for several in game weeks give or take a few dollars and they still say -40% or something that they were ages ago. Like my Lifeinvader has been around the 45-50 mark ever since I did a certain mission but they still say -70% or something, even though they've been around that area for ages.

Yeah they don't change that often. But during yesterdays game I already saw HAL going over $5.5 while watching the SC site. Bought it in game for $5.34. Also bought some Ammunition and LSC. None of them moved in game.
Now HAL is over $7.2.
Have to fire up the game soon and check.
