Read something interesting on the internet recently. Said a famous author was looking into writing a novel roughly along the lines of the movie Wall Street - going to call it Arizona Mining.
The article said the plot revolves around some company executives who sign a contract for financing development of a new mine. The executives of the company and the executives of the financing company agree to keep the contract secret for a year while they buy up company stock at penny stock prices. Then they reveal the contract and rake in the profits.
Strictly fiction, of course - anybody think the book would sell?
