Yeah, he probably made an automatic listing where he buys stocks after the price drops before his competitors to snatch up a lot of the stocks and make a hostile takeover or something.
There is also another type of stock trade( or you can trade in raw currency too ) where you can basically bet money on stocks/currency going up or down in value.
So you could technically make money on stocks falling in price, but doing that doesn't actually get you the stocks themselves...
It's more of a betting system than anything.
If he actually plans to use the stocks for something then it's not really an option, but if he just wants to make money out off it, then it could be a great way to earn money.
Doing that, however, is technically illegal in most countries though as buying/selling stocks with deep inside information is a crime.
( this could be
one of the reasons he has his friend do all the trading, we know its not the only one. )
A CEO, for example, isn't allowed to sell his stocks if he knows that the yearly logbook comes out tomorrow and he knows it's going to cause the value to drop on the stocks of his own company.
