    It seems like nowadays anyone can “invest” in fractional shares of just about anything, collectibles, race horses, vintage cars, designer bags, etc.

    It’s an “investment” world that seem all too risky to me.

      Only fractional shares? What if I want to buy square root of 2 many shares? Or even Pi many shares?

        Owning half a race horse is probably a lot less risky than owning the entire thing.

        Of course, the question 'which half?' might arise at some point.

        I was only joking

          We already know which half you own. 😉

            sqrt(2)/1 is a fraction. so is pi/1.

            Only non-witches get due process.
