In case anyone is interested, fun fact, insider trading only became illegal in Australia in 1974. My point being that markets evolve as technology evolves so regulators are always playing catch up.

Also, those numnuts over at AVZ should think before they Tweet.

I would also say that we blame the BEOT for pumping and dumping but there is also some SEOT engaged in pumping up share prices. For example, the Gamestop thing was a social media pump (without a dump so far, although the share price is now about half what it was at its peak) that came about from a grass roots anti-shorting campaign designed to cause a short squeeze on shorters (a good thing in some cases!).
