@Rocketrod mate, they have sniffed out the big money lol. im on a couple of these lists, and I get offers to participate in many and varied raisings. ive ignored all of them. i can lose enough $$ in stuff i think I know something about, i don't need stuff I know nothing about.

I think it's madness to include the family home. I'm assuming it's the net value after accounting for the mortgage? But wouldn't surprise me if it's just the gross market estimate.

300 current AFL players age 21-34 = Sophisticated investors
