ASICminer did very well for all its shareholders
im kicking myself for not buying in with my friend when it ipo'ed
Don't, at the time there was a grand chance they'd just run with the money and never do anything. Investors who took that risk got compensated.
Well, in February, when they started deploying, their shares were traded at only 0.3BTC. I over negotiated with a couple of members (I wanted to buy at 0.22BTC), and at the end I didnt buy because x3 the IPO price seemed "a tad much" to me.
That was just before the first dividend, but after they deployed the first 6TH/s. in that moment buying was not so risky but still I passed

If it make sense now to buy their shares? After all, if they started selling usb sticks at retail that this should be a good income (dividends)
