Traps, IMHO, we've been swimming with them for a while. Sharks that is! As "feeders" they are indescriminate! They've been known to beach themselves for the right morsel! They have a nose for blood which they can sense for miles in salt water!

Their landlocked cousins have risen from the deeps, their nose for blood intact, adding through the evolutionary process a nose for money (gold) displaying the same indescriminate heritage! Blood and money (gold) has "marked" their evolution with no end in site, leaving no stone unturned in their search for both!

Expect them to play "hard-ball," after all their game ain't slow-pitch! Whether they're digging for money (gold) or printing it, expect a few high hard ones, according to Yogi, its their specialty!

They attack without disgression once their "prey" is identified!

They appear to walk softly but never forget they carry and will use the "Big Stick!"

As evolutionary Neanderthals by comparson, we can at least match them, if not occasionally deliver a small victory, by remaining steadfastly patient, bitterly persistant, singlemindedly disciplined keeping our heads down with an eye on the ball! (a la Tiger!) Remembering, that at some point we must escape their clutches or pay the ultimate financial price which would be to be swallowed whole by one of these land-locked two legged sharks! Lock, stock and barrel!

Their appetites are insatiable!
