A pool operation is a form of market manipulation that artificially and temporarily changes the price of a security’s shares in order to secure the pool's participants with a profit. Pool operations may deploy overlapping, but not the same exact, tactics as other forms of market manipulation, such as boiler room operations. Pool operations contributed to the Wall Street crash of 1929 and were the subject of multiple congressional hearings and investigations, including the Pujo Committee and the Pecora Commission. The existence of pool operations led to securities-related legislative and regulatory changes that arose in the 1930s, including the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Traditional and newer versions of pool operations continue to exist to this day in North America and Asia.
