Buy a new pool and piss in again to sell new soaps.

By the time that the cow is bled dry, someone is stuck holding the bag while some people made out like bandits.

That is the stock market for you. Create no value, just wealth transfer.

Create no value, just wealth transfer.

In this case it's creating a kind of anti-value - harm, I guess.

Also I bow to your superior and brazen use of mixed metaphors. You got double what I did. "Bleeding" a cow dry? It adds impact over the usual "milking" even!

Milking assume that you don't kill the cow, which isn't the case here.

Some people are specialized at being hired at startups to prop up the startup to be sold and make a quick buck.

Then they move on to the next startup, wash rinse and repeat. It tells a lot about the state of innovation.
