No, Autosime, you get locked up for that sort of behaviour.
However, I do remember a situation in 1969 when Tasminex came out with a great nickel find. The shares took off like a rocket,40 BAGGER ,
so too did all the companies that had leases close by. My newly wedded wife had shares in a company next to the Tasminex lease and she sold
at an excellent price and it paid for half a house and we secured a bank loan for the other half which meant we ended up with one whole house.
Those chaps had done what you suggested and ended up in "THR BIG HOUSE" to coin a phrase.
