speculate to accumulate

A phrase used by potential profiteers to remind prospective investors that returns can only come from good investment. Really a buzzword (or buzzphrase) to get money from others to squander on fruitless and flowerly ideas. See European union, Belgium.

"Speculate to accumulate!" cried John, asking steve for the last crispy notes in his wallet. Eyeing up the tail at the bar, steve gladly turned over the contents of his wallet to John, who promptly brought the ladies a drink each. After some thirty minutes, John threw up over one of the fine females, making the money a write off due to his poor ability to handle drink. Steve's brother then started to insult one of the lasses, and they stormed off.
