As promised......
Daringly-I'm not a new player. Surely my posts show it.
Get Real--Every investors money is used in experiments, that's where new innovative products come from. Losing someone elses money would be a total embarrassment to me, no ifs ands or buts. The investor could come here and tell the world about it, causing me even more embarrassment. The person would know exactly how the money was to be used and can easily assess the probability of success before agreeing.
Capt. Shreve--The benefit would be a successful conclusion. I could go broke because the bankroll is to small to sustain an unlucky start and could cause me to be overly cautious and besides, I reaching a point where I wouldn't be able to replace it. If no one was interested, I'd still proceed. Using someone elses money sounds one-sided but I would be giving up just as much and probably more.
The person would be looking at a finished product that's ready for marketing. A product that he or she had no hand in shaping. The money is going to make it work by giving it a better chance than I can alone. There is more to this than an IRA or CD. A sense of accomplishment, the thrill of victory, beating the unbeatable foe. The investor hopefully makes money and bragging rights, that's what investors do. I make much more.
Jayel-- Many investors have no idea how their money is used, judging by recent events. This person will know exactly how the money is used.
pat-- I don't know if I'd lose proceeding on my own. I spent so much time and money on developing systems and very little attention to bankroll requirements, thinking it would take care of itself. This site has made me more aware of its importance. If I thought I'd lose, it would be illogical to proceed with something that couldn't succeed
and take another person down with me. These post demonstrate that thing are always more difficult than anticipated.
Thanks all for reading the post and responding. We're all winners.
I get to see thing from your view and you see things from mine.
