| [OT] Any stock gurus amongst us?
This morning as I was checking my dailies (which includes a visit to BBR Team discovery ) I couldn't help but notice a challenge on my home page (MSN.COM) »stockchallenge.msn.com/?ocid=B00···T1=44002
This is definitely off topic, but I though it's something some would enjoy here. It's free to sign up and play. With a chance to win prizes, so I guess you can't go wrong there. I guess we can also use this post to follow how each member is doing that wants to be part of this. It would be great to win something, although I am not holding my breath. Good luck to everyone.
Regards/ Slava |

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 saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!
Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works.
