Sure enough, on this day, the stocks of the Tianyu Group plummeted at opening, dropping about two percentage points before being stabilized by a powerful force.
This deterred many investors who had planned to short Tianyu Group's stock but did not get the chance to do so.
Some of them continued to stay bearish on Tianyu Group's stock, but they wanted to pick a good entry point. They thought, wouldn't it be better to short the stock when it was pumped up to a higher price?
Some more cynical investors speculated that the scandalous videos of Tianyu Group that suddenly appeared on national portal websites might have been a self-directed act by the Tianyu Group itself.
They wondered if Tianyu Group had found a profitable project and its executives were planning to shake off the retail investors, buy back the stocks, and carry out this self-directed act.
After all, the scandalous videos of Tianyu Group had spread too quickly; nobody would believe that there wasn't a force behind it.
