The Stock Market simply illustrated ... there is a lesson here?
Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for RM10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at RM10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at RM20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catchingmonkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to RM25 and the supply of monkeys became so littlethat it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it.
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at RM50! 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 RM35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for RM50.
"The villagers squeezed up with all their savings to buy the monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!!!!

Good Advice
A husband and wife decide to seek counsel after 15 years of marriage.
The counselor asks them what the problem is and the wife immediately goes into a tirade, listing every problem they have ever had during the
15 years.
She goes on and on and on.
Finally, the counselor gets up, walks around the desk, embraces the wife and kisses her passionately. The woman shuts up and sits quietly in a daze. The counselor then turns to the husband and says,
"This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?"
The husband thinks for a moment and replies, "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I golf."
