Be afraid, be very very afraid, in the event that the company of which you are a part owner (ie shareholder) should start to sup from the line of equity financing cup of such companies as La Jolla, Spring Tree, Bergen etc. etc.
If all goes well (and in some instances it has) then it could well be a life giving boost, however if the journey does not go to plan then that very liquid(ity) could well be akin to poision.
