It seems that something happened with you and the monkeys, and you are quite technical.....

A trader came to a village and announced that he would buy every monkey for 10 rupees.
The villagers caught many monkeys and gave them to him. A few days later, when the monkeys were fewer, he said:
> "Now I will give 20 rupees for each monkey."
People tried again and caught more monkeys.
Then he raised the price to 50 rupees. Now very few monkeys were left.
One day the trader went to the city and left his assistant behind.
The assistant told the villagers:
> "All these monkeys are in the cage, you can buy them from me for 35 rupees,
When the owner comes back, you can sell them for 50 rupees, you will make a profit."
The people, succumbing to greed, bought all the monkeys.
After that, they neither saw the trader nor the assistant, just monkeys everywhere.🐵🙊🙉
This is called the stock market..
........mmmmmmm......
