Random event allowed me to score huge in stock market.

So Im messing around after completing the story, buying up all the outfits and things, and on the way to one of the properties I wanted to purchase, I passed a guy who was stranded on the side of the road.

I stop to pick him up playing as Michael, at night. He says he has a flight to catch and that if I can get him there on time, he will make it worth my while. Problem was I only had a little over 2 minutes to try to get him nearly from one end of the map to the other. I picked him up at the northern part of the map, right outside the area where you can purchase the "Hookies" property. I had to get him to LSI in about 2:15, and I was in Michael's car.

On the way, he tells me he's an accountant from Algonquin in Liberty City, and I get the feeling I know what his reward is going to be for making it.

I get this guy to the destination with about 12 seconds left on the clock. Crazy. He tosses me 100 bucks and says "Buy stock in Tinkle now, you wont regret it."

I check Tinkle's stock and its in the toilet. Shares are going for 150 bucks each, so I go ahead and crank out 10 million bucks for Tinkle shares on all 3 characters and see what happens. I waited for a little while and when I checked it, my profit was already sitting at around 5.5 million dollars. Checked it again after that and it was sitting at 6.7 million.



Im thinking of selling, because that's a nice chunk of change right there, but the greedy part of me wants to leave it in there to see if it will go any higher. I don't know how long it will rise, and it was in the toilet before that random event, so I really don't want to push my luck.

I could buy a Tank and Attack Chopper for all 3 of my guys if I just cashed out now, so I may go ahead and just do that.

Pretty damn sweet reward just for giving a stranded dude a ride.

I had the same encounter except much earlier in the game when I could only put about 10k into the stock. I hope it's an encounter that will occur again

Dammit, I got this when

Nice find, The Stinger! Looks like these random events are pretty cool.

Yeah got this event too, didn't put too much on it. Went for a couple hundred grand and it worked it quite nicely. Not bad for a quick drive to the airport! Hadn't really been keen on the random events until I got that little tip that worked out for a quick profit.

I got this when I had 110,000,000 hahaha

I cant find this guy..help please.

He's at the top left of the map by the main highway. I made 32 million from him haha

Random as far as I know. I was using Michael, and it was at night when I found him. Not sure if these are time of day related or not.

If youre having trouble finding a stock, keep in mind that there are two different sites you can go to. LCN, and BAWSAQ.

If the one youre looking for is not there, its likely in the other one. They go in alphabetical order as well, so that helps a lot.
