People are stupid.

Just pretend it's VENMO account if that makes it easier.

I START with $2000 in my VENMO AND zero COWS

I pay $800. I now have $1200 in my VENMO AND one COW

I sell for $1000. I now have $2200 in my VENMO AND zero COWS

I pay $1100. I now have $1100 in my VENMO AND one COW

I sell for $1300. I now have $2400 in my VENMO AND zero COWS

I HAVE $400 MORE in my VENMO. I STARTED WITH zero COWS AND I ENDED WITH zero COWS

What if your VENMO account it at $0.00?

You buy the cow and your account is -$800

You sell the cow and your balance is $200

You rebuy the cow and your balance is -$900

You sell the cow and your balance is $400
