Holy cow, to coin a phrase. Speak of the devil, to coin another: <a new wife "fresh off the boat" from China, did not speak English until my dad started paying for her lessons but is learning.>
See, foreign devils right there in your family, taking over as we speak, but she doesn't, [not knowing English], but being good at body language communicates well-enough anyway.
<I think he wants to chase stocks that are going up because he loves to hunt (especially ducks) and fish.>
Oh dear. If he's good at hunting, he should think of the stock as the decoy, sitting there, quacking away, looking for all the world like a real duck. When it takes off, he intuitively reacts and goes for it, which is what predators do when the prey seems to be ready to eat.
Unfortunately, he is in trouble. He should think not of the stock as the prey, but the people and computers and concepts behind the mice and screens on the other side of cyberspace. But those people are not sitting ducks. They too are hunting. But they are not hunting ducks. They are hunting big game. Big game with money. They are hunting your father. The stock is just the bait.
If the hunter doesn't even know which is the prey, he's in trouble. As they say [so I hear] if you are in a poker game and don't know who the mark is, you are it.
