BAWSAQ is America's stock exchange in the HD Universe.
Description
One of their offices is located at the corner of Kunzite Street and Burlesque Street in Star Junction, Algonquin. The main building stands 1,043 ft. tall.
It is a parody of NASDAQ, which is situated in a similarly designed Condé Nast Building in Times Square, New York City. When BAWSAQ is pronounced it can sound like "Ball sack" which is a nickname for the male scrotum, the Scottish slang version of the word "Ball" is "Baw" further adding to the meaning behind the stock exchanges name.
BAWSAQ is often mentioned in Weazel News reports and by some people in Grand Theft Auto IV; however, the website is not available in the game.
In Grand Theft Auto V, it takes on a much larger role, where the player can visit the BAWSAQ website and purchase stocks.
