Form a wall

So.

Group buys. 

I've been hearing about it being discussed a lot recently. For the uninitiated, it means that someone will tell a group of people to buy at an identified support. Like a wall. 

In the NBA, it works. As seen here in this video clip below. Turn up the volume to hear the coach tell it to his players.

Defenders literally just made a human wall to impede the person who is inbounding the ball to see the person he's going to pass the ball to. Easy. 

Now, in the stock market, it's a little bit different and sometimes doesn't work. Let's say the people involved in the group buying are the nova corp ships in Guardians of the Galaxy. 

When the 'leader' of the group says, let's all buy at this price to support our beloved stock! 

We cannot let it fall! 

We will support it as only we can! 

They will form a wall, like this:

Pretty impressive huh? 

But in reality, if Ms Market really wants to break supports, IT WILL BREAK SUPPORTS.

The wall that they built can come crumbing down with just a simple selldown.

And what happens to the people in the wall? 

Instant investors or 'ipits' just like the unfortunate pilot in one of the spaceships. 

So. 

Going back, group buys. 

Obviously I'm not a fan. We do not advocate it in the tribe. It only appears that way sometimes because we all follow one system. And in the unlucky instance that we are unwilling members of a wall, we know how to eject or cut fast to lessen the risk.
