How can I invest in this?

Question

I want to invest in the "game/virtual world" second life... How do I go about doing this?

I want to actually invest in the company or whatever, not invest within the virtual world...

Answer 1

Linden Lab, the maker of Second Life, is a private company, so unfortunately you cannot invest in them.

Answer 2

What element of the company do you want to invest in?  If it's the software designer, are they a public company you can buy stock in?  You think their sales and profits are going to grow, then getting in early can be good.  Activision & Blizzard came together for example to form ActivisionBlizzard.  You can check out their website for corporate info and probably already know their games.

Hosting companies that host the games on the servers and internet backbone companies might also be solid if you believe in that.
