IT WAS autumn. The Red Indians at a remote reservation 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 do .
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."
And that, my friend is how the stock market works!
