Here is how stock market works, 🥱
Once upon a time, in a small village, a man came with a big announcement:
> “I will buy monkeys for $100 each!”
The villagers, thinking it was easy money, went into the forest and caught as many monkeys as they could. The man bought hundreds of them.
Then he said:
> “Now I’ll pay $200 per monkey!”
The villagers got even more excited and searched the forests day and night. They brought more monkeys, and the man bought them all.
Then he said:
> “I’ll pay $500 per monkey!”
The villagers were nearly losing their minds. They scoured the forests, but now monkeys were very hard to find. Still, they managed to catch a few and sold them for a fortune.
Then, suddenly, the man disappeared.
A few days later, his assistant came to the village and said:
> “The boss had to leave, but I’ll sell you the monkeys he bought — for just $300 each. When he returns, you can sell them back to him for $500 and make a huge profit!”
The villagers, seeing a chance to get rich, bought back the monkeys they had originally sold, spending all their savings and even borrowing money.
But the man and his assistant were never seen again…
