Timmah,

It all relative to how much you have, what your risk tolerance is, where you are in life, when you bought and whether you bought it with US dollars (when it was much higher then the $CDN).

For some $1,000-$2,000 would a crazy risk of money while others think in $100,000s.

At the same time my BS meter often goes off when people infer owning x% of the company.

.... Been There (and yes I own a lot of both)
