User:Meyersd9/When the ducks quack, feed them

There is an old Wall Street adage that states "when the ducks quack, feed them". This saying relates to buyers (the ducks) that badly want to buy a hot stock or trend. Wall Street feeds the "ducks" by selling stock at high prices. This trend was especially prevalent during the tech boom of the late 1990's. Wall Street delivered many tech IPOs that "the ducks" eagerly purchased. In a short few years the brokers had large profits and the ducks had nothing.
