Thats funny I was thinking the same thing about you :-\ It sounds like you want him to pay for it then sell at a loss which would make him poor, Part of rewards of running a good business is making money. And you're blurring the line between canonical and Mr.shuttleworth His money is not Canonical's money, that would be like asking tim cook to personally fund the building of an iPhone, And canonical does not appear to have the money to make the edge.
kitamesume:
lol, you clearly don't understand then, you don't even know what "investment" is.
how do you think you form a business? do you make a charity booth asking for money so you can start your business? or do you fork your pocket money so you can start your business?
what are you trying to say? he owns canonical, its his own company, why wouldn't he invest money on his own company? is he retarded?

Honestly I think it is quite unwise to tell someone what they do and do not know. Like I said you not only want him to fund this as an "investment" but then turn around and sell it at a loss that is not an investment you make an investment in hopes of getting more money not blatantly losing it, That would be a form of charity (buying something then just giving it away either for free or at a loss) How you are confusing Mr. shuttleworth's money for Canonical's money Think of it as this if you had $5 million in your personal accounts, etc. And you owned a bike store that had $150,000 in it's accounts with a net worth of $300,000 (which is quite nice seeing as how half your store is liquid assets.) would your store have $5 million as well? OR is that your personal money?
kitamesume:
wait, so thats why you're misunderstanding things, you view a business as a different person.
*smirk* if you owned a farm that earns money, wouldn't you buy it more fertilizer so it'd earn more money?
to answer your question, yes if you invest the $5M it's asset is now $5.3M

Seriously please stop telling me what I do or do not know or how I view / see things, You have no idea on the subject matter so it would be best if you change the way in which you post as I find it insulting. Ok now that we are done with that the owner of a company or business is completely separate from the actual business / company( for the third time the owners money does equal the business's money. they are separate can an owner fund a business from there personal money yes which is how a lot business get off the ground but a successful business should support itself and make profit after it's expenditures.). And no if I owned a farm that made money I would not spend said profits on more fertilizer unless I had the room to store and use it, Along with the proper equipment to handle the increased load that the extra fertilizer would create and I would also need a demand for more product or viable markets to expand into.
Edit : Don't wanna sound like a dick but that's pretty much my biggest pet peeve. ( the whole you don't know this or that or You are seeing it as this.)
