Ever wonder where you'd be if you had joined up with Bill Gates right from the beginning?
Well, maybe not.
But here is your chance to own a little piece of eInvesting.com!
Just by posting here and contributing your really investing in us and I want to return the favor. The first 5 members to reach 1000 posts will receive 2% of the site!  Thats right! You'll get a certificate and be in for 2%! Also, you'll be on an Advisors board and have a say in major decisions of the site.
What 2% entitles you
If the site is ever sold once your a shareholder you will be granted 2% of the net profit.
If the site is not sold (No plans to in the forseeable future) after 1 year of your taking ownership you'll start making 2% of the sites net profit. I'd say you'd start making it right away, but almost any profit goes back into the site. Hopefully after a year it'll have a steady income.
Requirements
-You must be a US Citizen
-You must be at least 18
So thats it! I've just promised to give away 10% of the site just like that. Some might call me crazy, but the only way eInvesting can succeed is by your thoughtful contributions. Now you can really invest in eInvesting!
Other restrictions may apply if there are any legal issues, but otherwise this is for real!
So how much would 2% of microsoft be worth about now?  |

So what if you've lost a couple screws over the years, it happens to the best of them. Richard Branson is crazy, and look how he ended up!
As a sidenote, you aren't MUIing again are you?   |

Well, it isn't supposed to be a race. If people just start posting a lot of garbage just to pad their post count they will be disqualified from this offer.
However, if you make us your home it's definetly within reach to even someone who hasn't posted yet.
After Grimreaper everyone would need at least 500 posts and anything can happen.
If you really want it and like the site posting here could really pay off! |

| If you post 10 posts a day for 50 days straight that will give you 500 posts. To put that into perspective, nobody here would qualify posting that much except Grimreaper who is less then 100 posts away. What does this mean? Its going to take a while to get to a 1000 posts. |

haha ok well i think i may be able to handle 10 posts per day...maybe 
but like ben said i wouldnt consider this as a race to see who gets there first and i do like the site and think its very valuable so i wouldnt want to post a bunch of nonsense just to get to 1000 posts |

| I average 9.95 posts per day, so it is going to take me a while to get to 1000. I think this is intended to be a long term thing, and Ben figures if you are committed enough to post that much, then you can be trusted with a little piece of the site. I <3 IPOS!!! (Even if they usually crash and burn and underperform the market). |

| The number of IPO's released often goes hand in hand with how the market is doing. Whenever a flood of IPO's come out a bear market is usually looming around the corner. On the flipside if very few IPO's come out a Bull market is normally approaching. |

I'm in.  From now on, I will post every post one letter at a time. I figure I'll get there in about three days. |

I'd like to point out that the top ten posters is hardly a done deal, three of the top ten joined after Nov. 1 of 2005, so getting to the top quickly isn't that hard if you are active and have things to say.
At the very least I hope this draws some new posters, I think the only problem we have with the site right now is that only a handful of people post. |
