Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs10.
The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at Rs10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers
stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at Rs20. 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 rate increased to Rs25 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 Rs50! 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 Rs35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs50.'
The villagers squeezed up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.

Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!!!

4:Yes, trading when done by those with business sense can be a real value. But when people who are lazy (have no busines sense) start trading, it would become gambling!

as we all know, the number of real business men are only few % compared to the number of lazy men in this world.

9:CAN U READ BETWEEN THE LINES ?

JUST LAUGHING........Laugh everyone Laugh

BANDAR KYA JANE ADRAK KA SWAD

A very famous quotation in hindi

let me try translate this in english...though i m not good at it.
Monkeys cant be made to understand why ginger is good even after its pungent taste and peculiar smell.Humans have understood its benifits and therefore included in his regular diet to keep them healthy...once they felt the real benifits
they became use to its pungent tatse.

Pls correct me if i didnt do right and justifyable translation...this is how I look at this traditional saying.
one needs to read in between the lines even when its not mentioned but with positive thinking.

I just mean positive creative and useful interpretations.

hahahahahahha.....

I just want every one know...there can be humor without creating misceonceptions and stockmarket guys know how to laugh and make others laugh tooo apart from making serious statements those benifit at large.

I just mean positive creative and useful interpretations.

Does it make sense?

Pls let me know

regards

11:Yesss its nice to laugh it out when market envoirenments help to laugh louders WITHOUT VARIFYING THE FACTS .. . I differ...... Stockmarkets arent for Villagers and Monkeys are not traded there, they are based on companies performence who are doing millions worth of business.... They are meant for people with a apptitude for doing seroious business and ready to work hard to earn money along with creating long term capital assests bit by bit.

Thes above story fits best for people who look at financial/stock markets from the sky and just want make fortune without doing serious efforts.....the only business every one wants enter close to top when News papers journalists start drawing attention....that tempts common man to make a fortune in the shortest times.

Investments in stockmarkets are like any other business but need skills to be aquired before even jumping first time in the sea. The skills need no pre-qualifications....just COMMON SENSE.

People lose money because of their own Greed and lack of knowledge and finally blame Markets of being bad( THE EASIEST WAY TO JUSTIFY ONE'S OWN INABILITY ).

THRUST BLAME ON OTHERS AND YOU WILL BE NEVER GOING WRONG

Pls check my blogs:

http://blogs.siliconindia.com/stockline

one can learn how to earn in stockmarkets even in bad times....IN FACT THE CURRENT TIMES ARE THE BEST TO RESEARCH AND GET IN STOCKMARKETS FOR LONG TERM CAPITAL GAINS.

GOOD OPPORTUNITIES ALWAYS EXIST ....WE JUST NEED TO SPOT THEM AND ACT. Opportuities are more or less depending upon the market sentiment prevailing at a particular time.........THE JUST PRICES CAN NOT BE SEEN WHEN MARKET SENTIMENT IS RUNNING HIGH...

IT TAKES JUST FEW HRS TO LEAN INTRODUCTORY .... BASICS IN FEW DAYS .......ADVANCE IN FEW WEEKS.....PROFESSIONAL IN FEW MONTHS

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF VIRTUAL ASSETS ....THAT GIVES U REAL MONEY WITHOUT DOING REAL FIELD WORK...JUST CARE FOR FEW PRINCIPLES.
THE MOST FELEXIBLE PART OF THIS BUSINESS IS EVERYTHING CAN BE DONE IN INSTALMENTS.... AT YOUR WISH ...AT YOUR CONVENIENCE...ANY TIME..... ANY WHERE

INVEST SOME TIME BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO INVEST IN STOCKMARKETS
