Why you should control your greed at trading

You must have heard about the story of ‘the Gold Egg Laying Goose and The Greedy Farmer’ when you were young. This tale is about a farmer who had a magical goose. The goose used to lay gold eggs every day and the farmer used to sell the eggs in the market to make ends meet. But the farmer was not at all satisfied with only one egg each day. He wanted to sell more eggs and get rich overnight. With that in mind, he hatched a plan to kill the goose and take all the eggs from its body. So, one day, he executed his plan and killed the goose. But when he tried looking for the eggs, he found out there that there wasn’t a single egg in its stomach. That way, the ill-intentioned farmer lost his magical goose out of greed.
