VC can take the risk, not me. If I want to take some risk,I would go mutual fund.
Tell you a story: A Noble Prize winner, who was not rich when he was an Assitant Professor at MIT and even worried about his kid's coolege tuition, has become a multimillionarie by investing in biotech. His name is on a lot of biotech companys' scietific advisor list. He gets a lot of free shares by this way....
Not fair!:).
