The birds of prey of the financial market do not waste time on trivialities. They do not make speeches. They do not try to please. They know what they are and what they want: quick, sure profits, and, if possible, without fanfare. They fly high, they observe everything, but their gaze is not one of admiration; it is one of calculation. They do not dream; they plan.
They are predators by nature, but never sloppy. While the market loses itself in optimism or panic, they remain high, waiting for the perfect opportunity. They don’t hunt by instinct; they hunt by strategy. A misplaced rumor, a piece of information that no one noticed, a temporary weakness in a position; that’s when they swoop in.
In the financial world, birds of prey have no scruples because they cannot afford to have them. They understand that hesitation is death. If they need to bet against, they do so with conviction and coolness. There is no room for blame when the goal is to survive chaos; or rather, prosper in it.
They are also the silent manipulators of the market. A mass selling movement here, a buying frenzy there. For them, the market is not a living entity; it is a machine that they know how to disassemble and reassemble. Every decision is a stroke, and every stroke, a work of precision.
Although they may seem ruthless, they are not just villains. Their role, although often questionable, is necessary. They are the ones who maintain balance, who test the resistance of structures, who expose the weaknesses of inefficient systems.
But the truth is that birds of prey don't care about balance. If the market falls apart after an attack, it's the problem of those who didn't know how to fly fast enough. They do not live to protect or destroy; they live to profit.
They arrive when the market is vulnerable, when sentiments are too high or too low. They are a warning that what goes up will not always keep going up, and what falls may be deeper than you imagine. When the sardines flee and the bulls tire, the birds of prey remain.
There is no morality in their actions. There is no lesson to be learned. Just a brutal reminder: the market is not kind, and those who hesitate; sardines, bulls, bears; become prey. Birds of prey, on the other hand, are always predators.
