An attempt to manipulate the stock market through fictitious sales in which no change of ownership occurs. By increasing market activity in a particular share, stock-market manipulators can attract new buyers and raise the value of the shares they own. In transactions known as wash sales, manipulators create the impression of hectic activity by buying and selling shares to themselves. Such activities are illegal in Canada. 2, record 1, English, - wash%20sale
