You're too late.
My ex got it all.
Now she is a cash cow.

Chios78 has got this closest. As for the rest of you all I can say is nice try. I'm an MBA so I know whereof I speak. Chios is right this refers to one stage of a product's lifecycle. The concept was developed by the Boston Consulting Group who created a matrix based on market share and business growth. The other 3 stages are Question Mark (low mkt share, high growth), which can go either way, Rising Star (high mkt share high growth), which is actually the most desirable product to have, Cash Cow (high mkt share, low growth), meaning a product is still generating lots of cash but the market is fully matured, and Dog (low market share low growth) for which its time to divest. You want to hang on to Cash Cows and milk them as long as they don't become Dogs. But if you really want to find something new and more profitable in the long-term you need to find some Rising Stars or some Question Marks that are poised to turn into one.

A cash cow is a place where you can get repeated business. So the best way to get one is to earn one. When you get a good customer treat him well and you'll be able to "milk," that cow for a lot of business.

A cash cow is a reference to something that uses a lot of money. So you probably don't want one.

The golden goose is just like the cashcow! But like my grandma always said, why buy the cow, when u can get the milk for free. So my advise is look for a sucker! (You) who can find the cow and he reports back to the others (actually just myself) and we (I mean just myself) can milk that cow dry!

It is a company that is not growing very much but is well established very profitable. Large corporations with many businesses use this term to describe what stage of the business life cycle a specific company is in. If I knew how you could get one I would have many of them for myself and not have time to tell you this.

You can buy one at the same farm that sells the golden goose.
