bid (something) down
To decrease the value of something, usually a security, by offering to pay lower and lower prices for it. Only buy that stock if you are able to bid it down first. It's wild being on the trading floor and hearing traders buy and bid stocks down left and right. I think you could see quite a return on your investment with that stock, especially if you bid it down before buying it.
