**** OT ****
Holy Chit, Man !! You got some real cojones !! Just like those bow-legged Boots & Coots fellers !!!! <<gg>>
I must vehemently disagree with your assessment of risk and advise you that there are no sure shots in this business. But, of course, you know that. You've just rounded up the 99.9% for convenience !! <<GG>>
Seriously, best of luck to you, my friend. If I was your age and playing with "savings" instead of my "retirement" I might well do something "silly" like that, too !!
I must tell you that you have me reminiscing now because I took a similar shot a long, long, long time ago !! I was still single and it was my first stock purchase ever with all of my not very large personal savings plus all the money I could borrow from my banker and from my family. I put it all into a little junior oil company called Banff Oil. They were rumored to have made a big oil discovery. Turns out that they had. The field was called Rainbow Lake. Banff, with only a 5% interest in the play, got bought out by a 45% partner pretty quickly, thank you very much !! That was my very first and my very best stock play, ever !! It set me up for life !! God, it was easy back then !!! <<gg>>
Again, best of luck to you. You only get a few really good shots at the brass ring and I do not disagree with your perception that this could very well be one of them. I hope your wallet gets so damn thick that you'll need an oxygen mask when you sit down !!!! But, I will tell you now, you are definitely going to "grow" from this experience !!!
Later,
