Bull Market Rallies

If you were told that if you took out 50 dollars from your wallet and ran to the other side of the room that there would be a woman waiting there who would give you 500 dollars in return for hitting a big red button on the wall on the other side. Would you attempt to make it to the other side of the room?

What if you were told that if you were one of the last 10 people out of 30 to attempt to make it there that you would lose your 50 dollars and receive nothing in return? Would you still attempt it?

What you may know in the back of your head is that if you are already one of the furthest from the other side of the room that in the effort to be one of the first 20 people to get make it across that you may injure yourself, get sent to the hospital and end up paying 500 dollars or more to get patched up again?

Initially it may like a brilliant idea to attempt to be one of the first 20 to claim the reward, but when you start to see people push each other aside and become more and more desperate to hit that red button, it may begin to seem wiser to simply forego your 50 dollars…
