CHICKEN

Investor who is afraid of losing because investing. In general, a chicken will shun most investments, even low-risk ones, since almost all investments have associated risks. These investors prefer Treasury bills and bank deposits even though they may be nervous on the credit rating of a central bank or the possibility of bank failures. Chickens are highly cognizant of the perceived investment perils, they may be oblivious to the insidious dangers of eluding risk totally, specifically the loss of purchasing power in times of moderate to high inflation.
