## Definition

In a first step, shares of mostly foreign companies are recommended, especially in - stock exchange letters as well as by telephone calls and e-mails. - Allegedly independent experts certify the paper an imminent high price increase. - When the turnover and the price have risen due to the artificially generated demand, - the advisors sell their stocks acquired before the recommendations at a high profit. - The securities, which have now fallen in value again (often to zero) as a result of this market manipulation, give the buyers a loss. - See investment recommendation, cheap copy, blue-sky laws, steam room, dingo stocks, frontrunning, secret tip, glamour stocks, field hockey stick offer, Internet offers, capital market, gray, market abuse, one-hit wonder, push, rebbes, scalping, spam mails, consumer complaints. - Cf.
