Bulls are unlike pigs, because bulls know when to take profits. They are happy with a realistic gain since they believe that there are a whole host of other excellent stocks with great upside to shift the profits into. Bears love market uncertainty and interest rate hikes, because these things hurt the market. They believe in price depreciation among stocks and the markets, and employ strategies to make money when things are heading south. Bears are like courageous chickens in that they are fearful and wary of the market, but instead of fleeing they use their caution to their greatest financial advantage.
Chickens are afraid to commit, or to lose even a single cent.
This fear overrides their need to make profits, so they often turn to money-markets and bonds for safety, or steer clear of the markets all together. This is all well and good, since you should never invest in anything that you lose sleep over. You should never put non-risk money into a risky investment. Leave that to the pigs . And The Pigs Get None.
