pyramiding
Pyramiding is a trading or investment strategy where an investor adds to their positions in order to leverage gains or increase the size of their position as the investment increases in value. The goal is to maximize returns by adding to a successful investment. However, it can also refer to an illegal practice in business similar to a pyramid scheme, where a company promises profits to investors primarily from recruiting new participants into the scheme rather than actual business activities. The usage and context determine the meaning.
