Stock Market
Once upon a time in a village a man appeared who announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys went out in the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and as the supply started to diminish and the villagers started to stop their efforts, he announced that now he would buy at $15.
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 offer rate increased to $20 and, in fact, the supply of monkeys became so low that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it.
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $60 each! However, as he had to go to the city on some business, he deputed his assistant to buy them on his behalf.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. “Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected, I will sell them to you at $40 each and when the man comes back you can sell it to him for $60 each.” The villagers queued up with all their savings to buy the monkeys.
After that no body found that man and that assistant, but only monkeys and monkeys and monkeys....
So if you want to make monkey out of you, play on the stock market.
