Vulture investors buy distressed company debt cheap, convert it to stock, and pocket profits when the price spikes. Then they let it crash and repeat. The cycle drains the company while other shareholders get stuck holding the bag.

those companies where they play this game where they let the stock get close to looking like the company's about to go out of business, which just really gets pounded down to a low level. And then investors come in and— or buy debt from the company, convertible debt that they get to convert at the super low price when they bought the debt. And they do that and they give the company life, and so therefore the stock goes way up, and then they let it die again, and they do it over and over.
