a bird in the hand


what you have or know is better than something you do not have or know Investors are focused on the bird in the hand, and not looking for new opportunities very much these days.
Usage notes: based on the full form, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, which is rarely used
Etymology: based on the idea that a person should catch one bird that is easy to catch rather than hoping to find more somewhere else
