Cornering the market

   Also found in: Legal, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Cornering the market
Purchasing a security or commodity in such volume as to achieve control over its price. An illegal practice.

Cornering the market. If someone tries to buy up as much of a particular investment as possible in order to control its price, that investor is trying to corner the market.

Not only is it difficult to make this strategy work in a complex economic environment, but the practice is illegal in US markets.
