Financial Trap

Many people save diligently their entire lives to accumulate 200,000

Capitalists organize a scheme to drive the price of silver from 8 to 34; some people bought at 20 and sold at 22, making a few thousand. Later, seeing the price surge, those people couldn't resist buying back in at 30 with all their money, 200,000. The next day, silver dropped to 18, turning 200,000 into 120,000. In a panic, these people sold their houses and cars to gather 180,000 again at 18 to go all in, and a year later, silver dropped to 8.

With just a little thought, capitalists can wipe out countless people's lifetime wealth.
