Once, in a country, a man well dressed, charming traits, with a suitcase in his hand announced to farmers who wanted to buy the tomatoes to 1 euro per kg. The peasants, seeing that there were many tomatoes, they went out in the fields and began to collect them. The man opened the suitcase he bought a lot of tomatoes to 1 euro per kg, but when the availability of tomatoes began to fall, the farmers stopped their efforts. All tomatoes purchased were placed in a warehouse in the country.
He announced that now he would have bought a 2 euro / kg. This renewed the efforts of the farmers who bought the tomatoes to 1 € in neighboring countries and resold them to 2 €. Soon the supply diminished gradually and the villagers began to return to their farms. The offer went up to 2.5 € per kg but the availability of tomatoes became so small that it was a real fatica trovare altri pomodori. I contadini andarono più lontano. Trovarono i pomodori e li acquistarono anche a 1,5 euro e li rivendettero a 2,5 euro. Tutti i pomodori acquistati dall’uomo vennero messi in un magazzino nel paese.
L'uomo annunciò che ora voleva comprare i pomodori a 5 euro al kg, tuttavia, dovendo andare in città per alcuni affari, il suo assistente avrebbe fatto da compratore in sua vece. In assenza dell'uomo, l'assistente disse ai contadini: "
Guardate tutti questi pomodori nel magazzino; ora voglio venderveli a 3,5 euro al kg e, quando tornerà dalla città, glieli rivenderete a 5 euro al kg ". I contadini misero insieme tutti i loro risparmi e comprarono i pomodori.
Then they saw neither the man nor his assistant, only tomatoes everywhere.
The countries are the equity markets. The farmers are part of the "horse park". Tomatoes are equities. In some cases
Wall Street but also at the Milan Stock has happened too.
