Pumplösning

Pumplösning, also known as "pump and dump" or "pump and dump scheme," is a fraudulent trading practice in which a group of individuals artificially inflate the price of a stock or other asset, then sell their shares at the inflated price, causing the price to drop. This practice is illegal in many jurisdictions and is considered a form of market manipulation.

The process typically involves the following steps:

1. A group of individuals, often referred to as "pumpers," purchase a large number of shares in a particular stock or asset. This can be done through various means, including coordinated buying, spreading false or misleading information, or using bots to create the appearance of high demand.

2. The pumpers then spread false or misleading information about the stock or asset, such as claims of a new product, a merger, or a change in management. This information is designed to attract more investors, driving up the price of the stock or asset.

3. Once the price has been artificially inflated, the pumpers sell their shares, causing the price to drop. This can result in significant financial losses for other investors who were misled by the false information.

4. The pumpers may then repeat the process with another stock or asset, or they may move on to other fraudulent activities.

Pumplösning is illegal in many jurisdictions because it involves deceiving investors and manipulating the market. However, it remains a significant problem in some markets, and regulators continue to work to combat this form of fraud. Investors should be cautious when considering investments and should always do their own research before investing in any stock or asset.
