John, I agree.
<<The real risk taking visionaries of the world are no longer the venture capitalists and insiders who start these companies, but the the online retail stock buyers at SI.>>

I hope that was in jest Huey. Retail purchasers of stock from the comfort of a warm seat in front of a computer, are only risking the money they put up, and perhaps their pride if they are proven wrong.

Principals and employees who worked for years putting this grand plan together, risking careers and incomes before it ever went public...they took the risks. Their OEM partners, who dropped the technology of the day to sign on with the technology of the future...yes they were risk takers. At prices below $5 per share many of us felt we were taking risks, too. However, now it appears to me the most certain investment I have ever made. A once in a generation opportunity.
