    Slim Suity goes contracting and earns £9 per hour, with all his new money he goes off the rails and starts to eat all the pies. Now Fat Suity he still earns £9 per hour but now has to buy a new wardrobe and cannot get on his bike because the wheels have buckled.

    I hope I've answered your question.

    Both good points. However, Slim Suity used to buy a 6" turkey sub and a bottle of water from Subways at a cost of £4.50 but since going off the rails is now procuring 4 corned beef pasties and a can of Tango from Greggs for a total of £3. The wardrobe is a red herring since he only wears elasticated tracksuit bottoms from JD Sports.

      It's not clear from the info we have that slim suity was following a healthier diet. It's entirely possible he was make himself vomit behind the bins round the back of Gregg's.

        I think make[sic] (puntastic high five) is probably redundant considering he's just consumed 4 Greggs Corned Beef Pasties. But this has now blown my original theory out the window.

          The amounts being invested weren't part of the original post though. Buying half a company will tend to trigger share price moves for reaaons other than pure supply and demand e.g. takeover speculation.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              Suity will be round shortly to hold a stakeholder requirements workshop.

                  That's what they're referring to when they say "pump & dump"
