...this one is good: pump and dump....a little analogy Mr. Ten runs a toy shop. New furbys are released and Mr.Ten gets an idea and assembles a group of people to pool their money and buy 1 million furby's. They get the furbys and they have more than 1/2 of all furbys around. The price goes up because of the demand and they sell all of them. The price goes crashing down because all of a sudden there are 1 million more furby's. Mr. Ten and buddies make a good profit but now they but back a million more shares i mean furbys at a rock bottom price and bam the price goes up. Then they flip it again . Mr. Ten becomes very rich.
