Would be good - and productive too.
...

I thought one had to start the business for it to be a productive investment. Buying a second hand business, or buying a second-hand shareholding in a company that runs a business, was not productive. However, in addition, is it also if you buy an established business and work in the business too., then it is also productive. If you buy an existing business but get a manager to run it, then it is not a productive investment. Do I correctly understand the point (which I disagree with) you were making previously?
