Good idea. It does make sense and allows many rich people to just take a piece of their monthly income from other passive investments and invest them. That said the legal issues are probably the wrinkle here, that is if you have over 95 investors.

With the stock as high as it is, we're no doubt going to be seeing many more ex-Googlies in the months to come. But when it comes to VC firms, what are they doing for the little guys out there. Well, very little, of course - unless the "little guy" has the right connections.

I have my own ideas about how to give the little guy a bit more leverage in the race to gain at least a little more weight. I posted this idea on my blog - My Good Idea - yesterday. The idea is for the taking, I'm curious if anyone thinks it has any merit.
