Originally posted by Pondlife View PostBoth good points. However, Slim Suity used to buy a 6" turkey sub and a bottle of water from Subways at a cost of £4.50 but since going off the rails is now procuring 4 corned beef pasties and a can of Tango from Greggs for a total of £3. The wardrobe is a red herring since he only wears elasticated tracksuit bottoms from JD Sports.

Slim Suity goes contracting and earns £9 per hour, with all his new money he goes off the rails and starts to eat all the pies. Now Fat Suity he still earns £9 per hour but now has to buy a new wardrobe and cannot get on his bike because the wheels have buckled.
I hope I've answered your question.Originally posted by speling bee View PostThis is a very useful analogy. It is also important to consider the impact on share prices at Gregg's and Fat and Fabulous menswear.

And don't forget the bid-offer spread. You may be able to buy at 6p but the bid price will be lower and so you will only be able to sell them at a lower price than what you paid for them.

Only if they can sell 300k in one go. What usually happens is other people jump in when the price is rising pushing the price up further before the sell. They are the ones who get stung by the pump-and-dump.

@4p HF buys 100,000. Costs 4K.
@5p HF buys 100,000. Costs 5K.
@6p HF buys 100,000. Costs 6K.
Total spend 15K.
HF now sells 300,000 at 6p. Total back = 18K.
Now, if these jumps in sp were soley due to the buys from the HF, did they just make 3K out of thin air?

The first 100,000 he picks up for 4p, and then the market is begining to notice there is a demand so sellers stick the price up, he then picks up the next 100,000 for 5p,price goes up again and he then picks up last 100,000 for 6p.
When he sells it goes in the opposite direction.
Therefore profit=0.
