most often, the whole reason hustlers put together a story and go public is to make a living....not because they expect to become another 'ibm' or 'microsoft'. they just enjoy living on our money. many have used several 'story stocks' to enjoy their lifestyles. lots of shells out there and lots of guys with a few bucks to use them to use us.
ajmho based on 30+ years of throwing money into this game for the rush of an occasional win. all in all, i would have had a lot of money if i did nothing but cd's or bought ibm....but i would have missed the action...lol
