Carl,

>>>
As for the private companies, keep me posted if the one you like is ready to IPO. INFA and EPNY are two recent ones that have just exploded. If you establish a business relationship with the company you want to own, keep asking them if they will direct some IPO shares to you. Most companies direct a portion of IPO shares to customers and friends.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know about allocation of shares sometimes to customers and friends.

I will keep you posted when I find out about IPOs.

*** Millionaire Next Door ***

Can you answer "yes" to these three questions? Millionaires typically can.

1. Were your parents very frugal?
2. Are you frugal?
3. Is your spouse more frugal than you are?
