Monkey's Business

Rumors, which are usually not truth, where some people spread it for their own benefits, with certain motive, which sometimes also destroy one's reputation and bring trouble to a person, an organization, or even a country.
This is just a very general definition of mine concerning rumors.
Do you know how great the impact a rumor can bring to a person?
I hate rumors.
Sometimes a small insignificant incident happened can be spread to the whole world to know.
Worse still, during the spreading process, the 'story' is altered, 'salt' and 'vinegar' are added into the story and at last causes serious misunderstanding between parties that are involved.
Rumor brings disaster.
Next time, think 1st before you open you mouth.
This got nothing to do with anyone, just a random thought.

Have u all heard about the story of 'Monkey Business'
I guess most(or some) of the people out there had heard it before, especially those studying economy.
A story that my dad told me on my way to Mano's Tuition today, in the car.

Once upon a time, a man (I'll name him as X) with his konco came to a village and saw the villagers were working hard on their farm to earn money.
He is a smart but cunning person.
And he was thinking how to earn/take all the money from the villager.
He noticed that there's many monkeys around the village
He called up the villager and told them :'' I am buying each monkey for 5 bugs."
And the villagers were happy to hear that news and all of them were busy catching monkey to sell to X, cause monkeys are easily available and the price offered was good.
They think that selling monkey now can earn more than just working on their farm.
And as time passed, the monkeys in the village became lesser and lesser.
So X offer higher price, now each monkey cost 10bugs.
After that 15 bugs, and then 20 bugs.
And 1 day, X told everyone that he want to travel to other place for a period of time, and he said that after he came back he will buy each monkey for 50 bugs.
After he left, his konco told the villagers :''I understand that the monkeys in your village is getting lesser and lesser and it is very hard for you all to catch them, especially at this time where my boss offer such a high price."
And he continued:"Now my boss had left the village and he definitely don't know what we are doing, why don't I sell back the monkey to you all at the price of 35bugs and when he comes back , you all can sell the monkey back to my boss again at 50bugs, like this you all can earn 15 bugs from each monkey!''
And the villager were very happy with the suggestion and they bought all of the monkeys from the konco.
At night, the konco met up with X and said :''The plan was successful."
The next morning, the villager can no longer find X nor anyone that's related to him.
Now, they are left with empty pockets and many monkeys.

This is a story to reflect our society now where those cunning 'share master'(don't know the proper term) who control everything. They invest on the share untill very high and spread rumours to public that the share will keep rising, but at the same time actually he is selling his share out and he got all the money and at last the public spent all their money but got only the 'monkeys'.
(Hope this explanation is understandable, cause I don't know the English term concerning share)
