how the market works
 
Once upon a time in a village in India , a man announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10.
The villagers seeing there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at $10, but, as the supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts.
The man 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 rate increased to $25 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 act as buyer, 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 $35 and when he returns from the city, you can sell them back to him for $50.'
The villagers squeezed together their savings and bought all the monkeys.

Then they never saw the man or his assistant again, only monkeys everywhere!

Welcome to WALL STREET.

Are you trying to say Indians are stupid? Because that's just racist, and racism isn't tolerated on Revscene.

Indians are smart. An Indian bought monkeys for $10, $20, $25 and sold them back for $35.














Relax it's just a story you could replace Indian with Chinese, African, or European.

i think you got it wrong. indians are dumb - or indian villagers are dumb[in this context].


they sold monkey foor $10 , and they bought back the same money for $35 - thereby losing $25 ...
