i say nothing ventured, nothing gained....
A number of years ago I was living in the Seattle area and a good friend of mine was working for this little company up there. I had just received a small settlement from a motorcycle accident I was in, and he told me I oughta take $1000.00 and invest in this company he was working for. The company was a very small coffee roasting company with a couple espresso stands. My response was something like "No way. that company is selling coffee for 2 bucks a cup, there is no way in hell they'll be around for 2 more years". Yeah the company was Starbucks and I am still kicking myself in the ass for it.
Only invest what you can afford to lose, and realize that most investments of this nature mature slowly over time. Stay in it for the long haul and ya should do well.
