The Greater Fool Theory

"There are two Arkansas farmers, one of which had a beautiful purebred hog. He sold it to farmer # 2 who held it for a period and then resold it, for a handsome profit, back to the original seller. Back and forth, these two farmers sold and resold this hog to each other, always for a profit. Alas, one day farmer # 2 sold it to a complete stranger from Iowa, to which, when told of this, farmer # 1 told farmer # 2 in disgust: "Why'd you go and sell that hog to that feller from Iowa fer? We was both making a good living selling that hog to each other."
