Demand tends to push price up. Investors don't really know who's buying until later.
But yes, of course it's a toy example. I should probably have made the buybacks drive the price from $1.10 to $1.20 or something, with a much smaller reward for the founder & CEO. I got bored and kept it simple. (Or I got greedy for that $1 profit, maybe.)
All the working parts of the example are on display. You can make other examples that seem better to you.
Well there you go again, lying and making things up. The trades are executed in compliance with Rule 10b-18. If you want anyone to take you seriously then at least come up with a realistic example.
I'm talking about how equity works at the most basic level, in a vehicle worth 1000 USD. It's an ice cream stand, capisce?
You may well be offended because we were rude to each other. That's fair. But you're not telling me to stop being a dick. You're telling me my ice cream stand has to be listed on a major US stock exchange. That's not a strong argument, and it's not really on topic.
