I have a story for you... 13 or so years ago, my husband and I had our first "mad money", $20,000. There was this young kid in town, who had started a company from his dorm room, the very same dorm where I once lived... We thought long and hard about investing in his company when it was first available for sale, but decided it was too risky... I think we could have bought about 5000 shares @4.00 each... (that was a long time ago, my figures may be off!) For 13 years I have thought about buying, but always said it was too high!! Can you imagine what those 5000 shares would be worth today?? I could be a Dellionaire!! Kathy
