The BAWSAQ is by far the most interesting market. The BAWSAQ is an online market driven by the buy and sell orders of all 15M+ players.
Early on, before people started to realize how the market worked, I did some pump-and-dump schemes and made >$400M. That's a lot of money, even in GTA. Now that I have that much money I can drive stocks up or down and milk the market for all I want. GTA isn't just for blue color crime anymore.
I know that a few other players did equally well, I suspect they are doing similar market manipulating schemes.
"bawbag" is a Scottish brand of designer shorts - it is also a term of endearment between strangers in Scotland, so when meeting someone new it is traditional to shout "Hey ye big bawbag!".
With the BAWSAQ it's even easier than traditional pump-and-dump. If you pour a large enough pile of dough into a stock, it goes up a ton after a delay (1-2h). So, you can purchase all you want before the price skyrockets. Other players predictably pile on because they see the stock going up; which makes the stock go higher and entices even more players to invest in the stock.
You then sell all your stock for a tidy profit and watch the price, and the hopes of the other investors, collapse.
