PM for Decals
Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the
villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.
The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out
to the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish,
the villagers stopped their effort. He next announced that he would
now buy monkeys at $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 offer increased to $25 each and the supply
of monkeys became so scarce it was an effort to even find a
monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each!
However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his
assistant would buy 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 already
collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns
from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each.'
The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys.
They never saw the man or his assistant again, only lots and lots of
monkeys!
Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works!
