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 
n 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, only monkeys 
everywhere! Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works.
