X-Message-Number: 12473 From: "John de Rivaz" <> References: <> Subject: Re: Investing in research Date: Wed, 29 Sep 1999 10:31:55 +0100 I cannot profess to understand every detail of the material coming from 21CM and similar posts, but I re-iterate - once this is a public company people both within and without the cryonics movement will invest in it. When the share price is up, you can have rights issues and raise more money. You can have your web page linked off http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Sauna/3748/shares.htm and be associated with these major and highly successful companies that are already doing research that would seem science fiction just a decade ago. There are a lot of people out there who are vaguely aware of cryonics and would be far more willing to invest in a biotechnology company doing fundamental research than they would be to either sign up for cryopreservation themselves, or invest in a company that offers cryopreservation *services* right now. Many cryonicists will consider this irrational, but nevertheless you could get their money as shareholders, and maybe in the future their custom as cryopreservation members. -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz my homepage links to Longevity Report, Fractal Report, my singles club for people in Cornwall, music, Inventors' report, an autobio and various other projects: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/JohndeR Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=12473
