Hi i've been reading about asicminer recently and I want to purchase some shares.

I understand direct shares are better and the simplest way is to buy on the forum whenever they are available. This is fine by me except I don't want to get ripped off or have to wait for an auction to end.

The other alternative I see is to use the online exchanges but I have read there are much higher risks associated with shares being pass through than a direct. Plus I like to receive dividends to an address I own anyway.

The thing is, while i've been reading about asicminer and figuring out how to obtain some, the share prices are just been rising daily.

Am I thinking too much and I should just go ahead an find whatever shares available I can get my hands on now?
