Well, I just submitted
my order form and payment for more shares. I provided full SSN and didn't bat-an-eye.
Hell, I'm more concerned that this will drag out and I'll forget all about BCIT (as I did years ago), or become obsessed and spend all free time here, than I am about giving out personal numbers.
My job includes lots of travel (now in Afghanistan) and I've had to replace 5 credit cards in as many years. So far, it hasn't cost a dime. Pony-up for a system that watches your overall credit and choose cards from reputable companies (if there is such a thing). Then you can pull up your big boy pants and buy, buy, buy -- The travel thing, multiple third world countries, is far more hazardous to your credit well-being than this could ever be.
Sure hope I didn't just throw away more money. Gotta love the Casino located on Wall Street. . . Dave
