    Well ... i think it would be more accurate to say that turmoil and chaos create opportunities ... not necessarily profit. Money is all good and well, but power is better. What you do is play both ends against the middle. Get the two sides locked in a bitter feud ... then go in and bury the survivors after the battle has ended. Divide and conquer !

    Business is a metaphor for war .... you see ?

    It's done all the time in fishing and construction crews. You got the Captain of the boat. He's the boss. He makes sure to keep his deck hands set against one another and competing for a better position on the boat. They're so busy fighting amongst themselves ... they are never a challenge to his position of leadership & authority.

    Look ... i know that a lot of folks wouldn't put much stock in reading but there was a book written back in 89 that pretty well details out how it all works. It's fairly well respected. It's called:

    " Strategy of the Dolphin: Scoring a Win in a Chaotic World."

    Opportunities to gain knowledge can give you a competitive edge in business.
