' Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the ' villagers that he would like to buy any monkeys that the villagers could ' collect for $10 each. ' ' The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out into ' the forest, and started catching them. The man bought hundreds for $10 each. ' Eventually, as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their ' effort. The man then announced that he would now buy any monkeys for $20 ' each. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching ' monkeys again. ' ' Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to ' their farms. The man then increased his offer to $25 each. By this time the ' supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a ' monkey, let alone catch it! ' ' The man now announced that he would buy monkeys for $50 each. However, ' since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy ' the monkeys on his behalf. ' ' In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. "Look at all ' these monkeys in the big cages that the man has collected. Tell you what, I ' will sell the monkeys to you at $35 each and when the man returns from the ' city, you can sell them back to him for $50 each." ' ' So, the villagers rounded up with all their savings and bought all the ' monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant ever again. All they ' had now were monkeys everywhere and empty bank accounts. ' ' Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works. |
