If a person or organization has deep pockets, it means they are wealthy or have a lot of financial resources. Now of course . this, this alludes to the idea that your pockets are deep. You know could be filled with money. So a lot more money could be going down. So if you got deep pockets that means that you must have a lot of money or again a lot of financial resources. So it's almost a little self-explanatory. Anyway, let's let's continue. Let's look at some of the examples here. Example number one. It is not easy to sue that company. They have deep pockets and can afford the best lawyers. If your case gets prolonged you know like extended. You know, anything could happen . sometimes in law cases. Or is caught up and appeals like even if you won maybe they could appeal again or maybe you might think that you could try to appeal again and these just tack on or add on more and more costs. They may have the money to do that but it might be difficult for you to do that. You get quite a bit appeals and they can afford it but you cannot. So be careful. You might not want to try to sue somebody that has deep pockets. Okay. Well, le's look at number two. That new enterprise, enterprise has attracted a lot of investors with deep pockets. Yeah. A lot of times we hear deep pockets used with investors so investors with deep pockets. Investors that have a lot of money. So maybe you don't need that many investors because these investors you know each one could offer a significant amount of money. They have deep pockets. Okay. And number three here. I don't think you can win a price war with that ... with your competition. They have deep pockets and you don't. They could easily afford to outlast you. So sometimes with price wars that's what you do. You both lower prices. You take lower and lower profit margins until maybe one of you gives up. And in this case if they have a lot of deep pockets and you don't, well then you know they might end up winning and you may not because they could make it last a lot longer. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
