IIRC the stock values update every 2 hours so you can wreak havoc on a company from 4pm-6pm, buy a bunch of stock between 6 and 8, then check back every couple of hours to see how it's doing. AFAIK the LCN stock won't change while you're not playing, but BAWSAQ goes round the clock so you have to be a little more careful with your gambling, but on reddit and the GTA forum's everyone's kind of agreed to just dump all of their money into 1 stock for a week and then mass sell it during a 2-hour window on the weekend, and start over next week with a cheap company. That's why PISWASSER is (or was until recently) the most expensive stock on the market, it went from like $3 a share to $15 over a just a few days.
