It's all clear to me now....

 Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy wild pigs for $10 each.
The villagers, seeing that there were many wild pigs around, went into the forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at $10, and as supply started to diminish the villagers stopped their effort.
He then announced that he would now buy wild pigs at $20.
This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching the pigs again.
Soon the supply diminished even further, and people started going back to their farms.
The offer was increased to $25 each and the supply of wild pigs became so scarce that it was an effort to even see a pig, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy wild pigs at $50!
However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would buy on behalf of him.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers.
"Look at all these wild pigs in the big cage that the man has collected.
I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each."
The villagers rounded up all of their savings and bought all the wild pigs in the cage.
Then they never saw the man nor his assistant again, only wild pigs everywhere!
Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works.
