Is Al A Monkey Man? His Properties say so!
Is Al A Monkey Man? His Properties say so!
Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared 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 further announced that he would now buy at $20. 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 little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let
alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 ! However,
since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now
buy on behalf of him.
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 $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can
sell them to him for $50 each.'
The villagers rounded up with all their savings and bought all the
monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant again, only
monkeys everywhere!
Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works
