Why is me buying my own book to bring it to the best seller list any different than any other purchaser?

Stocks are supposed to be a share of ownership in a company, and the price goes up and down because being an owner of a company goes up and down in desirability, based on how well the company is doing.

Just like with buying your own book, buying your own stock artificially increases the desirability.
