I remember thinking what a strange idea. It took them a while to get a beta that works. Then I woke up.

Bruce Loebrich wrote to say that no one can make me happy by buying my shares because none were available. So I created 5000 additional shares, and thus dropped the per-share price dramatically, but it's slowly coming back up and now anyone who wants to can buy these very affordable shares that are sure to increase in value.
