Talk:Lester's Assassinations

Why monday?
The article says it should be monday while starting a mission. I did two of these missions on other days and still got payed, so what's with the mondays? GMRE (talk) 15:15, June 14, 2015 (UTC)
 * I *think* the relevance was that some-to-most stocks might-or-might-not surge-or-depreciate around Sunday-Monday, and if you started on Monday, you may theoretically get a better return on the competing stocks (Debonaire, Fruit, GoldCoast), as well as the potential for an added benefit a week later just after the recovering stocks (Redwood, Facade, Vapid) finish recovering. Personally, I've never noticed any significant impact or difference between starting these stock exchanges on Monday vs not-Monday (on PC, since v1.4). But, that doesn't mean that this wasn't the case in a previous version, or still may be the case on a different release. Dsurian (talk) 14:10, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

BAWSAQ Stocks
BAWSAQ stocks seem to take significantly longer to mature than indicated here. I just did the Bus Job, on Monday, and it took until Saturday for the stock to mature up to 50% value.
 * I'd generally agree with you, but the problem with making any changes to 'old facts' is you generally have to confirm that 'old versions' (Original Editions, X360/PS3 in this case) have also changed, such is the standard of this wiki (... which is especially awkward in this case, since I don't think the Social Club is supported in the Original Edition anymore, which the BAWSAQ numbers depend on). In regards to recovering stocks (such as Vapid, in The Bus Assassination), in my experience (on PC, after v1.4) they generally take an in-game week; an immediate crash, followed by 4-5 days of stagnation, after which it takes ~1 day to fully recover in earnest ... so, all the 48-72 hour claims in the article would be false, imo. BAWSAQ might have a slightly different timetable, but it has the advantage of usually being very precise, so - assuming you invested immediately after the mission - you should receive a 100% return on investment after a certain amount of in-game time has passed.
