... Lots of volume spikes with no movement occur on BFX.
"...[The book] was about an Earthling man and woman who were kidnapped by extra-terrestrials.
They were put on display in a zoo on a planet called Zircon-212.
These fictitious people in the zoo had a big board supposedly showing stock market,
quotations and commodity prices along one wall of their habitat, and a news ticker, and a
telephone that was supposedly connected to a brokerage on Earth. The creatures on
Zircon-212 told their captives that they had invested a million dollars for them back on
Earth, and that it was up to the captives to manage it so that they would be fabulously
wealthy when they returned to Earth.
The telephone and the big board and the ticker were all fakes, ofcourse. They were
simply stimulants to make the Earthlings perform vividly for the crowds at the zoo- to
make them jump up and down and cheer, or gloat, or sulk, or tear their hair, to be scared
shitless or to feel as contented as babies in their mothers' arms."--KVJ
