    Not possible because the price will rise as you buy. Your broker will not even accept a deposit of “infinity dollars”. None of this is possible because moving large amounts of money doesn’t happen that quickly, for good reason.

      Yes, well OP also doesn’t say that there will be no consequences. I feel like everyone’s answers are just ignoring the tax burden that would result from realizing this income.

        You sell 50% of the stuff you bought to pay it. Or maybe more because the prices probably crashed. But you have a lot of time to do that, actually - you have at least a quarter to pay estimated taxes, plus it’s just fines and/or interest to kick the can even further.

        It’s not that big a deal.
