 A secondary market is like a work-out machine because the person buys it like a security for their body (they are buying form an investor in order to invest on their own body).

The mother swan is guaranteeing her offspring security and closely watching them, as one company offers financial assistance and oversight to another company; the public act of feeding the chicks is like going public because the mother is sharing her private foods with them (the new investors).
