RE: Absolutely Insane!! Reminds me of an old story ...
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 all their savings and bought all the monkeys . Then they never saw the man nor his assistant again , only monkeys everywhere !
remember there is no sure thing ...
Good luck
