Tero, I agree, this paragraph was unnecessary and should be deleted: "...What further surprises me is that he isn't just some little guy off the street investing his own money. He probably has influence over 100s of millions, if not more. And yet is still too afraid to take a chance..." I didn't mean it the way it sounded, but I did mean it. As I said, I've personally seen professionals "throw" millions around. The fund was so big, they could practically bury anything. It was a fun and relaxed place to work, compared to your typical high pressure/stress investment house. It just struck me as odd when Mr. Fun implied Q's control over its proprietary technology wasn't a sure thing yet - so he wasn't buying. Few tech companies (that will still handsomely reward their shareholders) will EVER be sure things. To be sure, some are more so than others. But are INTC and MSFT "sure things" going forward? Is NOK a sure thing? If you think my post will drive him away, you don't know Mr. Fun. (He probably knows the guys I worked for at CREF and is laughing!) SI is here for him. He's surely not here for SI.
