That's a very negative way to describe buying a share in a company.

I'm pointing out the reality.

As I said, I'm not a person that thinks that correct allocation of capital isn't a useful role. Really good VCs and investors are really really important.

However like art - it can be both simultaneously true that art has intrinsic value and that the art market is seriously corrupt.

Sure Paul adds value - but I'd humbly suggest not as much as he has extracted.
