Question... (try to find the trading lesson)

You have a tall apple tree full of fruit that is about to fall. If apples hit the ground they are spoiled and no one will eat/buy them. You only have a hand held fishing net with which to catch them. The sun is very hot....with temperature nearly 40 degrees (Celsius) in the shade. 
 
What strategy would you adopt ? 
 
1) run around trying to catch apples as they fall.
 
2) leave the net set up in one position and revisit every hour to collect those that fall in.
 
3) Use Strategy 2 but move the net to a different position each time you visit it (perhaps based on where you see the most fruit falling)
 
4) any other ideas that spring to mind.
 
The key is being satisfied with whatever you decide to do....whatever happens you are going to miss a lot of apples!
