If by "pan out" you mean "filthy rich" then yes.

Yeah, no kidding. How can anyone on a tech forum not know this?

because we have trolls who only want to come in and make silly post.

"Troll" doesn't always mean someone being negative and posting flames, etc. It can include someone just goofing around and having fun. Especially with tongue subtly yet firmly in cheek.

99.99% of IPOs will eventually fail if one were stupid enough to keep it till it fails.

I was there the day this happened 🙂 Worked for the company from May 06 to August 07. MAN was that fun!!

Whoa really? I left Vonage few months before the IPO..my dad wanted me to buy $100k of shares for him. The only reason I didn't was because I was lazy and never got around to it. Man I feel real sorry for people who got screwed by that!!

I got in on Visa pretty late, but I'm already up $8k which isn't bad. I kind of wished I invested more early on, oh well.
