Obviously he didn't have ethics for the people of the village. Maybe he justified it in his head by saying greed gave them (the village people - not the music band) what they deserved. Probably even convinced himself that they would do the same if in his position. Call me naive or crazy, but I like to think that what goes around comes around. And I don't mean in some spiritual or voodoo type of way. I believe if you play with fire enough times it will eventually burn you. And all it takes is once. Maybe you get away with it, but maybe not. Maybe...
it's so easy to rob the poor beacuse they are dying to be rich, thats why they didn't keep the money, they saw an easy $15 profit and went for it, thats greed for you.

Absolutely. You won't get any disagreement from me on that.

It's interesting (to me at least) how some people are successful at making money and some are not. I think most of the wealthy fall into two categories. Some are good at BSing their way to riches and some were actually good at something that paid well. Though both the rich and the poor are vulnerable to the pitfalls of greed.

true, because most traders think about the money first then the business and most don't like the business just the money part and thats when you lose, you must love what you do to make money

The story suit best to the stock market.
facebook stock=monkeys

The forex market is more efficient...Currencies can be converted into
other things . stock=monkeys can not... you are stuck... they are not worth nothing to start (imaginary value)
and could end up the same...

Works well as long as there are plenty of other villages to go to but ethical? Try it again in the same village no -- villagers have become educated (I hope) and now they quit and go on holiday with their $20

The assistant never stole the money, it was just a plot, they never wanted the monkeys, a clever way to rob the villagers to the amount of $15 for each monkey.

They moved onto the next village and bought squirrels from them

No, they didn't fall for it this time, they had learnt something about forex and didn't get greedy but took the first profit and closed their trades.

How The Forex Market Works.

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...
AWESOME !!

is this story true tho or based upon a real story
Alternatives are more important than the plan itself

LOL !!!

So moral of the story seems simple enough.... walk away with the money you have and dont be greedy untill the next man shows up demanding another animal (Not monkeys because theres none left).

BUTTT THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION!!!

HOW DO YOU NOT GET GREEDDDYY IT IS INGRAINED IN OUR HUMAN DNA!!!

I think it is more ideal and suitable to be applied in fried stock
