In 2004 I invested in a start up. That $385,000 returned $20M in 2010. So it's okay to take on risk if the rest of your life is good to go.

Well, my brokerage house doesn't have access to the pre-IPO shares, so it looks like I'll have to open an account with Level3 to get any of the pre release shares or just buy it on the open if I want.

I still haven't decided what to do...
