heres an idea: why don't /biz/ get together and start pumping extremely low float stocks, then make massive profit? im guessing theres atleast 1000 people here. if we all buy a little, for example SSH (less than 500k float now) we can move it up quite a bit. people and algorithms will be jumping on the momentum and we will all sell at the same time for massive $$$$

>why don't /biz/ get together and start pumping extremely low float stocks
We do this all the time with cryptocurrency

cryptocurrency don't move much in a day
need something like a low float OTC stock or some low float listed stock no-one ever trades

That is actually a hell of a lot harder to coordinate then it looks and that is not how markets work.
>All sell at the same time
What if, once everyone puts up their sell orders, there are too few buyers for your sales to go through?
>We all buy a little of a stock
And what if that still doesnt push up the price enough?
What if 1000 buy orders at 3 cents more then the stock price pushes it up 5 cents, then it evens out? That would hurt the confidence of the group, and people would stop trusting the PnD.
Again, coordinating such an event would also be a hurdle. If you get 1000 people looking at this thread, chances are only 100 would be willing to take a small amount of risk on this. Of those 100, even fewer would be willing to market buy a good amount, which would limit the amount of the stock price rise.
It would ultimately be doomed to fail, just by the statistics alone. Most stocks have several hundred thousand shares.

In real time. It's fascinating to watch over the course of 30 minutes some shit memecoin get bumped up to a 5000% price gain, then all the suckers get sucked when the bagholder bails.

this CAN WORK.
take a look at SRSG (OTCBB exchange)
its priced at about $3, and theres only a float of 45k.
on 1/6/2017 it moved from $3 to $4 with only 1000 volume.
if 200 people just buy 50 shares of it, we can move this shit up by 50% then dump it when the idiots come jumping on

Also this. Crypto is unregulated. Stocks are regulated out the ass.

It's illegal and this shit board is already 80% pump and dumps and shitcoins
