Any given species of fruit would only be available for a short time every year That's why humans evolved such big brains... so they could remember where and when each kind of food ripens in the jungle. Our brains are hardwired to recognize and exploit annual seasonal patterns. And that leads directly to our current dilemma with the stock market.
