    I didn’t see the step where Larry has to sell any stock, and hence puts downward price pressure on Oracle share prices. What is the source of the cash in steps 3, 4, and 7?

        According to the image of the steps, Oracle’s share price is going up, presumably more than it would have without engaging in these steps. How can that cost index fund owners? They would be benefiting from the share price increase.

      He doesn't have to sell. He can finance the deal with debt backed by his newly risen stock as collateral. Then the debt is used to further inflate the price of the stock. The flywheel metaphor is pretty apt.

  Same thing with the 1.3 billion EUR investment of ASML into Mistral. ASML -> Mistral -> NVIDIA -> TSMC -> ASML -> ...
