Hehe.. came across this phrase recently: "Bulls make money, bears make money but hogs get slaughtered."
Basically, in terms of buying and selling... a bull is someone who is buying - with the believe that prices will go up. A bear is someone who is selling - with the believe that prices will go down... The term bull and bear is derived from the way these animals defend themselves... A bull will use the horn in a upward strike, so it is like pushing the price up... A bear fights by striking things down with their paws, like pushing price down...
How about hogs? Hogs are described as greedy individuals.... They are tempted to buy shares which they cannot afford because of their greed to make quick cash... So if there is fluctuations in the price which happens very often, they get panic and they make bad decisions... That is why they always get slaughtered in the end... But if their bet is right, the shares they buy do go up... They will have the tendency to wait till the price go higher then they sell, but they often end up falling down the clift.... They may have their planned their moves in the begining.. Like hogs planned to go out and search for food... But greed always win and cloud their decisions and plans... In the end... They fall into the trap... That is how people use food to trap hogs.... Hehe...
Sheeps are great followers... They don't have to make decisions... All they need to do is to follow the trend or tips.... But one thing is for sure, the stock market is a very highly competitive place... People don't give away tips.... For they need to stay in the front in order to get the profits.. Real tips are not revealed, and those revealed are lousy tips... So, sheeps who get tips, get slaughtered as well... Those that follow trends always happen to be the last and the most foolish of the block... They always enter the uptrend late and when smart people are making their exit.... So, they alone ride the slide downhill....
So, which one are you? If you are the sheep or the hog, it is still not too late to upgrade yourself into a bull or bear... Hehe... Knowledge, skill and wisdom is the only thing that can transform you.... So, good luck.....

To go along with this, is my own input:
If it calls you on the phone,
it is not an 'investment'.
Learning this has cost me several thousand over the years.
Nice post. Surviving the stock market pits and falls needs good observation and analysis.
