How to Buy Stock in a Private Company?

rachel: I have a ten offer on some stock i own in a private company that i used to work for. What's it worth? It is worth 400 thousand. You could buy stock in a privately held company where the founder has controlling interest. If he loses or she loses his mind they're gong to drive the thing into the ground, or it could double. But either way, it's going to be difficult to sell it. This is called a high risk play and so far it's paid off beautifully.
