If you are a clever little mouse, you will be able to predict which way the elephant will move and collect a
regular stream of yummies from your counterparty skooshed mice. But sometimes elephants take it into
their head to go off in unexpected ways when they see yummy foraging somewhere else, which might turn
out to be a mirage of shimmering wheat. Which means they stop flicking wheat to their riders and nobody
wants to buy a wayward, waning, elephant roaming around, lost in the desert.

Best analogy of the present US I've read.

:o)

Thx

Hello Maurice, you are being too literal.

Look, I traded a bunch of paper on something you own with someone else just like me. I won, he lost, and you are not the wiser, therefore also lost, because you could have been trading those pieces of zero-sum papers, but didn't.

Chugs, Jay
