Tips

memory

Per CC-CEDICT: 'rat warehouse' — a fund manager secretly builds a personal position cheaply, then uses the client fund's money to pump the price and profits personally. The 老鼠 (rat) imagery is about sneaking a portion of the grain store into one's own hole — an old-China barn metaphor transferred to finance.
