I just got this idea during a run my group and I are doing where we have to trash (Re: we have to make people not want to live in it, so we're going to poison the water supply just enough to give people upset stomachs, but not enough to kill them, etc) an Ares Arcology, and it is a fairly simple plan, I think.

I just want to buy a massive amount of stock in Ares' biggest competitor (whoever my GM has it be in this scenario) before we trash the place, and then trash the place, and then sell the stock again. It seems like it'd be fairly simple to do, and I'm just wondering if other people have done this and what problems they've run into.

Thanks a bunch!
