OFF TOPIC:Silicon Investor-less
By Barton Crockett
MSNBC
January 13, 1998 1:41 PM PST

They're investment pros on the
cutting-edge of cyber-finance --
brothers Brad and Jeff Dryer, the
Generation-X co-founders of Silicon
Investor, a top-rated stock discussion
area on the World Wide Web. So why
can't Brad get an apartment without
having his mother co-sign the lease,
and why was Jill -- their only employee
-- very quiet in the morning?

BECAUSE THE DRYER brothers are
investor-less in the Midwest, after
turning down several multimillion-dollar
financing and takeover offers and
moving away from Silicon Valley.
Remarkable forbearance, for
money-men of modest means.

"We thought long and hard about what
we wanted in life," said Brad Dryer, 27,
the younger of the two brothers. "We
weren't sure what we would do if we
didn't have Silicon Investor. It's what we
want to do. It's an adventure."
