The pathway to becoming a millionaire is simple ... listen to the Dave Ramsey show and do WTF he says to do. Done. Why are you hating on people who can follow a cookbook recipe for success?

I listened to bad investment advice and shied away from investing $20k in Microsoft just after their IPO. Factoring in splits since the early 1970s would put me somewhere near your $30mn cut-off - just based on a single good decision given time to percolate.

I just spotted a similar opportunity and urged family to consider it. The company is first to market with an energy technology with immediate worldwide utility. They have, ISTR, a single competitor whose implementation might even be superior ... but they are slow to market. If they can get to market in the next year, they are also a good investment. Otherwise, they will eventually be bought up by the other company and their technology will be disappeared.

You're here. Don't just read things -- evaluate them.

If you had opened a single Dairy Queen soft-serve ice cream stand back when they first started and simply kept your day job for a while as you invested the profits in more DQ's, you'd be one rich MF'r today.

The folks in the food industry who figure out that their market is moving south will make a ton of money. The flavors that define "up nawth" are screwing up by not following the southern migration. Dominoes and Pizza Hut are down here and digging in ... what's the delay with the rest of 'em?

There are solid investment opportunities anywhere you look ... if you look close enough.
