Re: Mind's Eye Facebook IPO rip-off?

I am thinking about starting a small business (partly to employ
grandson) Allan. Even Amazon has made no real money and I can't see
FB doing anything after all the hype. The smart money is only
interested in the financing fees (7% of whatever raised) or in buying
before an initial spike and getting rid. What I want to see is the
technology in use to actually collapse what rigsy is rightly on about
in its current form. I'd like to see a more producer direct to
consumer society aimed at giving us all more leisure time and
servicing that leisure communally.
