Once upon a time a man appeared in a village 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 next announced that he would now buy

monkeys at $20 each. 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 scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let alone catch

it!

 

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each! However,

since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would buy

on his behalf.  In the absence of the man, the assistant told the

villagers: "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has

already 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 all their savings and bought all the monkeys for

700 billion dollars.

They never saw the man or his assistant again, only lots and lots of monkeys!

 

Now you have a better understanding of how the

WALL STREET BAILOUT PLAN

WILL WORK !!!!
