No one can predict the supply and demand, but all markets run in cycles.
There will be times when tech is good and times when tech is bad.

How much money will you burn through running a company with employees
while you *try* to get enough market share to make a profit? Maybe you
should work for somebody and do a home business on the side, being
careful not to violate any non-compete agreements?
If you want to burn through money, though, you could win the lottery or
marry a rich widow who wants to indulge you :-)
Regards,
Pete
