Lions vs. Jackals Found this on another thread...the 'fat cats' are the 'HOUSES'. Be the Jackal...take small profits 'till stinking wealthy ala RR! cowgirl ------------------------------------------------------------ Rande Is . . . HOME To: maverick61 who wrote (38486) From: a_chameleon Monday, Oct 16, 2000 12:55 PM ET Reply # of 38526 OT This market, as it is now, and the trading associated with it, reminds me so much of a jackal at a lion kill. I have been fortunate enough to be within 40 yards from two huge male lions that had killed a buffalo in the African bush.....they were so full that they could hardly move. Real fat cats. There was a black backed jackal lurking just out of easy reach of the lions. The jackal knew that his speed was far greater than the bloated lions could hope for.....he would sneak in, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, and then swiftly grab a piece of whatever he could get hold of, and dash off...only to return a little later. Little by little he would get his fill. There would be numerous charges by the lions to protect their kill, but as long as he did not get greedy, or too close, or tried to bite off too much, he too got fed in the end. Greed would mean sudden death at the swift sweep of a huge lion paw.
