How the stock markets work.

It was autumn, and the Red Indians asked their New Chief if the winter was
going to be cold or mild. Since he was a Red Indian chief in a modern
society, he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be. Nevertheless, to
be on the safe side, he replied to his Tribe that the winter was indeed
going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to
be prepared.
  But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He
went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked "Is
the coming winter going to be cold?" "It looks like this winter is Going to
be quite cold indeed," the meteorologist at the weather service Responded.   So
the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more Wood. A
week later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it going to be
a very cold winter?" "Yes," the man at National Weather Service again
replied, "It's definitely going to be a very cold winter."

  The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every
scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later, he called the National
Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to
be very cold?" "Absolutely," The Man replied. "It's going to be one of the
coldest winters ever."

  How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked. The weatherman replied, "The Red
Indians are collecting wood like Crazy."
