I sort of expected Rick to take Breathe Laser public, but the market for IPO's sucks right now, so I suppose he took an offer. He can always form another company, or buy shells like me. Either way, the shell game is over. We have a company, and that represents the termination of my plan. I like my shells under 50 grand. Anything higher than that, and I will consider hiring a securities lawyer to do an IPO. Either that, or I base the purchase on "details," and sales often on "lack thereof."
