Interesting. I don't think it's the guy I deal with. The last time I bought 700 shares, I asked him if he thought I was crazy. He laughed and said, "yes". For me, buying Torvec is a big deal. For some people having 10,000 would seem like an easy decision. Once you have the expensive fleet of cars and the house or two to 'get away', why would you hesitate to buy space on the ground floor of working technology that addresses the driving issue of every crisis, foreign oil?
They barely let me in at UBS, but it's amazing sometimes how many people have a LOT of money. At least by what I consider a lot.
