Subject: IPO/Money

Hi everyone,


I concur with John  about making an IPO for a company
like 21CM. I urge the directors of these companies who
are in the forefront of cryonics research to try and
list their shares on the stock exchanges. Investors
are known these days to lap up hitech stock and some
of the companies have market cap 10 to 20 times their
entire turnover. 

Here in India in the last few days three IT companies
have gone public and were over subscribed to the tune
of upto 65 times!  One company Huges software systems
ltd got $1.3 billion when it wanted to collect only
$60 million in its IPO. If this is the scene here in
India I can imagine what possibilities exist for any
hitech venture in the US.

Why should you let go of an opportunity to collect a
few million dollars from people who are willing to
give it to you?  It will help you get the benefit of
more employees , equipment, experiments, and exposure
all of which are required to succeed in any endeavour.

Ayn Rand has said;

"  Money demands of you the recognition that men must
work for their own benefit, not for their own injury,
for their gain not their loss - the recognition that
they are not beasts of burden , born to carry the
weight of your misery - that you must offer them
values , not wounds- that the common bond among men is
not the exchange of suffering, but the exchange of
goods".

Death is a suffering which probably can be overcome by
cryonics and the products of new Biotech firms like
21CM...
