a true story for you from the wild west days of the mid 80's...
A bunch of guys in New Zealand bought a huge amount of some half arsed oil company stocks. they got two unknown actors and gave them something like twenty thousand in cash. The actors hit the town in Wellington (NZ's financial district) on Friday night partying it up and buying everyone in the whole bar drinks saying the were a couple of boys from the country working in the oil fields and had struck huge amounts of oil and were now millionaires YAY!!!! Next bar same again.
The word spread fast over the weekend and the stock prices went nuts on Monday. The guys holding the stocks sold late in the day.
