Just in case you didn't know ....
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 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 again saw the man nor his assistant, nor their money. Just monkeys everywhere!
Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works.

Areas of Baghdad fall to militias as Iraqi Army falters in Basra. Bring back carpet bombing. You cannot win a war without killing people!!
Iraqi police in Basra shed their uniforms, kept their rifles and switched sides. Nuking Basra has a certain appeal!!

Brown to ditch plans for 'Blair Force One' jet to fly royals and ministers. Kick them off the Royal Flight as well. Let the bastards go by Easy Jet!!
Royal Flight is axed for 12-seater plane. Keep the Royal Flight. Getting rid of it is just a Defence Cut by any othere name. And bring back the Royal Yacht.
Marriage hits lowest rate since records began almost 150 years ago. Welcome to the permissive society. Block Child Support to kids born out of wedlock and watch the marriage rate go through the roof.
Commonwealth soldier who fought with British Army in Iraq is denied UK passport - because he was serving abroad. A disgrace. Yet more crap from the scum at the Home Orifice. Send all civil servants on a 'tour' of Basra clad in a jockstrap and corps boots and armed with a feather duster.
So what are you worth? Obama taunts Clinton as he releases his tax returns. She has tax returns!!!!
Speaker's bid to keep MPs expenses secret is a hammer blow to Parliament's name, says Clegg. Martin is finished bar the hanging. Anyone got a rope.
My life in al-Qa'eda, by bin Laden's bodyguard. Don't interview him, shoot the bastard.
Moqtada al-Sadr orders Iraq PM out of Basra. I take it that the jumped up little Shite is still hiding in Iran dressed in a burka. He must love being Imadinnerjackets bitch!!
We'll give you a farm, says Robert Mugabe. Kill the bum.
RAF bikini ready for take-off. They did the same thing last year.
