English term or phrase: It takes courage to be a pig.
Soros has taught me that when you have tremendous conviction on a trade, you have to go for the jugular. It takes courage to be a pig. lt takes courage to ride a profit with huge leverage. As far as Soros is concerned, when you're right on something, you can't own enough.

Explanation:
DEFINITION of 'Pig'
An investor who is often seen as greedy, having forgotten his or her original investment strategy to focus on securing unrealistic future gains. After experiencing a gain, these investors often have very high expectations about the future prospects of the investment and, therefore, do not sell their position to realize the gain.
