How the Stock Market Works

Years ago in a village, a man turned up and announced to the villagers that he would purchase monkeys for 10 dollars each.

The villagers went out to the forest and began catching monkeys.

The man bought thousands at 10 dollars each and as supply started to decrease, the villagers stopped their effort. The man further announced that he would now buy at 20 dollars each. Therefore, the villagers started catching monkeys again.

Soon there were few monkeys and people started going back to their farms. The offer price increased to 25 dollars and the supply of monkeys became so small that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!
