Elephant and Economics

Everyone is talking freaking simple economics. Everyone is talking supply and demand. Everyone is speculating. I heard something in a high profile meeting from a high profile guy. “I am more comfortable with three guys guessing the same thing rather than one”. Sums it all up. Everyone is guessing in some form or the other. All these different circumstances intertwined in each forms “the market”. Each market is unique to its own situation and is governed by latent as well as blatant connotations. You have the players working the market and pushing it in the direction that they want. The smaller players follow the pack. Everyone is under the assumption that someone else knows more than them. The someone else who knows better than them rolls the dice based on that fact that they have the money to spend. Money makes money and the rest of the idiots follow suit. The market leaders gain the most and also stand to lose the most. Like the titanic they sink or rise like the phoenix. Sometimes, the bigger players are so big that nothing makes a difference. It is a drop in the ocean. The bigger you are, the easier it is to stay big. Like an elephant trudging along and crushing anything along its path.
