Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Organization
	Paulson Capital Corp. is a holding company whose majority owned subsidiary, Paulson Investment Company, Inc., is a registered broker-dealer in securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). We provide broker-dealer services in securities on both an agency and a principal basis to our customers who are introduced to RBC Correspondent Services, a division of RBC Capital Markets Corporation, our clearing organization, on a fully disclosed basis. We also act as the managing underwriter, placement agent or participating selling group member of initial and follow-on public offerings, private investments in public equity (“PIPEs”) and private placements for smaller companies. We conduct business throughout the United States.
	We operate under the provision of paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and, accordingly, are exempt from the remaining provisions of that rule. Essentially, the requirements of paragraph (k)(2)(ii) provide that we clear all transactions on behalf of our customers on a fully disclosed basis with a clearing broker-dealer and promptly transmit all customer funds and securities to the clearing broker-dealer. The clearing broker-dealer carries all of the accounts of the customers and maintains and preserves all related books and records as are customarily kept by a clearing broker-dealer.
	We also have a 100% owned subsidiary, Paulson Capital Properties, LLC, for the purpose of purchasing, improving and remarketing undervalued real estate. Through December 31, 2013, we had not purchased any real estate.
	During the second quarter of fiscal 2012 ended June 30, 2012, we sold substantially all of our retail brokerage business to JHS Capital Advisors, LLC and are focusing operations on boutique investment banking. (See Note 3)
	Note 4 describes a transaction that, if completed and approved by FINRA, will impact the organization.
	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paulson Capital Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary Paulson Capital Properties, LLC and its majority owned subsidiary, Paulson Investment Company, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates regarding the fair value of underwriter warrants, not readily marketable securities and legal reserves are significant estimates and these estimates could change in the near term. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Revenue Recognition
	Securities transactions and related commissions revenue, including the sale of investment company shares, are recorded on a trade date basis. Underwriter’s fees and other underwriting revenues are recognized at the time the underwriting is completed. Revenue from sales of other securities including tax deferred units and insurance products is recorded when the units are sold. Revenue from the receipt of underwriter warrants is recognized when the underwriting is completed and the warrants are received based on the estimated fair value of the securities received using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model taking into account the exercise price, remaining life of the warrant, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the risk-free interest rate for the remaining term of the warrant.
	Cash
	Cash includes cash on hand and cash on deposit with banks.
	Notes and Other Receivables
	Receivables are reviewed on a regular and continual basis by our management and, if events or changes in circumstances cause us to doubt the collectability of the contractual payments, a receivable will be assessed for impairment. The Company considers a receivable to be impaired when, based on upon current information and events, it believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the receivable agreement. When we determine collection to be doubtful, an allowance for doubtful amounts receivable is recorded and the receivable is placed on a nonperforming (nonaccrual) status. Payments received on nonaccrual receivables are applied first to reduce the outstanding interest, and are then applied to the receivable unless we determine impairment is likely in which case payments are applied to the outstanding receivable balance (cost recovery method).
	Interest received on impaired receivables is recorded using the cash receipts method unless management determines further impairment is probable. No impairment loss is recorded if the carrying amount of the receivable (principal and accrued interest) is expected to be fully recovered through borrower payments and enforcement of action against the borrower's collateral, if any.
	The conclusion that a receivable may become uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a matter of judgment. We do not have a formal risk rating system. Receivables and the related accrued interest are analyzed on an individual and continuous basis for recoverability.
	Delinquencies are determined based upon contractual terms. A provision is made for doubtful accounts to adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts to an amount considered to be adequate, with due consideration to workout agreements, to provide for unrecoverable receivables and receivables, including impaired receivables, other receivables, and accrued interest. Uncollectible receivables and related interest receivable are charged directly to the allowance account once it is determined that the full amount is not collectible.
	Fair Value of Trading and Investment Securities Owned
	Our trading and investment securities owned consist of both marketable securities and not readily marketable securities and are recorded at fair value. Changes in the value of these securities are reflected currently in our results of operations as a component of investment income. See also Notes 7 and 8.
	Fair Value of Underwriter Warrants and Underwriter Warrants Payable to Employees
	We are required to estimate the value of all securities that we hold at the date of the financial statements and to include that value, and changes in such value, in the financial statements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value of our underwriter warrants is recorded as an asset on our balance sheet. When a new warrant is received, its fair value is included in corporate finance revenue on the date on which it is earned. Subsequently, any change in fair value is recorded as investment income or loss in the period incurred. When a warrant is exercised, the fair value is adjusted to reflect the value of the securities purchased, net of the exercise price, and the adjustment amount is recorded as income or loss for the relevant period. If a warrant expires unexercised, the fair value is adjusted to zero and the decrease is recorded as a loss in the relevant period. Underwriter warrants payable to employees represent warrants that are held by PIC, but are distributable to employees as compensation.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Substantially all of our financial instruments are carried at fair value or amounts that approximate fair value. The carrying amounts reflected in the financial statements for cash, receivables and payables approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of certain long-term notes receivable from employees approximate the carrying value of the receivable due to the employment nature of the receivable. The fair values of securities owned and trading securities sold, not yet purchased, are equal to the carrying value. Changes in the fair value of these securities are reflected currently in our results of operations. The fair value of debt approximates carrying value due to the short term and convertible nature of the obligations. Other than those separately disclosed in Note 7, our remaining financial instruments are generally short-term in nature and their carrying values approximate fair value.
	Furniture and Equipment
	Depreciation of furniture and equipment is generally computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (typically 3 or 5 years). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful life or the remaining lives of their related leases.
	Income Taxes
	Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
	We recognize benefits for uncertain tax positions if we determine that they are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. Interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits are recognized as tax expense.
	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares from stock options are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive. Basic earnings per share is the same as diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 since we were in a loss position in both years.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-based compensation cost for equity classified awards is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the fair value of awards. See also Note 11.
	Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	We had no comprehensive income (loss) items; accordingly, net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) are the same.

	NOTE 2 - RECEIVABLE FROM AND PAYABLE TO CLEARING ORGANIZATION
	We introduce all customer transactions in securities traded on U.S. securities markets to RBC CS on a fully-disclosed basis. The agreement with our clearing broker provides that we are obligated to assume any exposure related to nonperformance by customers or counterparties. We monitor clearance and settlement of all customer transactions on a daily basis. The exposure to credit risk associated with the nonperformance of customers and counterparties in fulfilling their contractual obligations pursuant to these securities transactions can be directly impacted by volatile trading markets which may impair the customer’s or counterparty’s ability to satisfy their obligations. In the event of nonperformance, we may be required to purchase or sell financial instruments at unfavorable market prices, resulting in a loss. We have not experienced credit losses in the past, and we do not anticipate experiencing credit losses in the future, due to significant nonperformance by our customers and counterparties.
	At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the receivable from RBC CS was comprised of $8,000 and $5,000, respectively, in commissions receivable and $437,000 and $2.2 million, respectively, in deposits to facilitate principal trading activity.
	At December 31, 2012, the payable to RBC CS was comprised entirely of amounts used to finance principal trading activity.

The Class A Warrant is exercisable for up to 7,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a per share exercise price of $0.80, subject to adjustment, beginning on the date that is six months following the date of issuance and ending on the date that is five years thereafter. The Class B Warrant is exercisable for up to 13,559,407 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock underlying the Class B Warrant is deemed to be $0.35, subject to adjustment, without any payment of consideration by the Holder upon exercise. The Class B Warrant is exercisable beginning on the date that is six months following the date of issuance and ending on the date that is two years thereafter.
	On January 29, 2014, the Company closed the private sale of 500,000 shares of its Common Stock to six accredited investors at a price of $0.50 per share for gross proceeds of $250,000. The shares were sold without registration in reliance upon the private transaction exemption set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
		b)	Formation of Liquidating Trust
	In connection with the Proposed Financing, the Board of Directors of the Company has also approved the formation of a trust (the "Trust") for the benefit of shareholders of the Company as of the record date of October 11, 2013 (the “Record Date”). The Trust, if and when formed, will hold certain non-operating assets of PIC (the “Trust Assets”). Common shareholders of record (the “Legacy Shareholders”) will be given non-transferable beneficial interests in the Trust in proportion to their pro rata ownership interest in our Common Stock as of the Record Date. It is expected the assets in the Trust will be liquidated and distributed to the Legacy Shareholders over time.
		c)	Proposed Changes to the Articles of Incorporation
	At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on November 8, 2013 (the “2013 Shareholders Meeting”), the shareholders approved a proposal to change the Company’s state of incorporation to Delaware from Oregon (the “Reincorporation”). As of the date of this report, the reincorporation of the Company had not been effected.
	At the 2013 Shareholders Meeting, shareholders also approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized capital stock from 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value per share, and 500,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value, to 90,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 30,000,000 shares of “Blank Check” Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of the date of this report, the Articles of Incorporation had not been amended and restated to change the authorized capital stock.
		d)	Proposed Reverse Stock Split of Common Stock
	At the 2013 Shareholders Meeting, shareholders approved the proposal to grant the Board of Directors the authority to effect a reverse stock split of its Common Stock. The proposal permits, but does not require, the Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding Common Stock at any time prior to 18 months from the date of approval by a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-ten, with the exact ratio to be set within this range at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. The Board reserves the right to elect to abandon the Reverse Stock Split, including any or all proposed reverse stock split ratios, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Reverse Stock Split is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. As of the date of this report, the Board of Directors had not acted to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock.

	Valuation of Marketable Trading and Investment Securities Owned
	The fair value of our marketable trading and investment securities owned is determined based on quoted market prices. Securities traded on a national exchange are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation; other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price.
	Valuation of Not Readily Marketable Investment Securities Owned
	Securities not readily marketable include investment securities (a) for which there is no market on a securities exchange or no independent publicly quoted market, (b) that cannot be publicly offered or sold unless registration has been effected under the Securities Act of 1933, or (c) that cannot be offered or sold because of other arrangements, restrictions or conditions applicable to the securities or to us. The fair value of not readily marketable securities is estimated by management using available information including the following: quoted market prices of similar securities (i.e., unrestricted shares of the same company); price of recent known trades of the same or similar securities; the cost of the security, if recently purchased, adjusted for changes in the financial condition of the issuer; all other information available from review of available documents related to the issuer or discussions with management of the issuer. Significant unobservable inputs include the discount rate for lack of liquidity, and the volatility index of comparable companies. Changes to these unobservable inputs would cause the fair value to fluctuate substantially.
	Valuation of Underwriter Warrants and Underwriter Warrants Payable to Employees
	We estimate the fair value of underwriter warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The warrants generally have a five-year expiration date and vest immediately. The warrants are generally subject to a restriction period of six months to one year in which the warrants cannot be exercised. The Black-Scholes model requires us to use five inputs including: stock price, risk free rate, exercise price, time remaining on the warrant and price volatility. After stock price, the most influential factor in this model is price volatility, which we calculate for each company’s warrants based on each company’s own historical closing stock prices as well as an index of historical prices for comparable companies. When we initially receive a new underwriter warrant from an initial public offering, its calculated volatility factor is entirely based on the volatility of an index of comparable companies, since there is no price history for a new publicly traded company. For publicly traded companies, as each underwriter warrant approaches its expiration date, its volatility factor is derived primarily from the historical prices of its underlying common stock. Private company underwriter warrant valuations use the volatility index of comparable companies. There is no assurance that we will ultimately be able to exercise any of our warrants in a way that will realize the fair value that has been recorded in the financial statements based on this model. Underwriter warrants payable to employees represent warrants that are held by the Company, but are distributable to employees as compensation at December 31, 2013.

	We recorded an increase to our valuation allowance for 2013 and 2012 of $342,170 and $17,188, respectively, based upon management’s assessment that it is more likely than not that no portion of the deferred tax assets will be fully realized. The Company generated taxable income during the 2013 tax year and will utilize available net operating losses carried forward from prior years to offset the amount of income. The Company still has a substantial amount of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, as well as state capital loss carryforwards. The recognition of taxable income during the period is seen as an outlier due to realized tax gains on sale of investment securities in excess of amounts recorded for financial reporting purposes. The realization of any deferred tax assets is dependent on having future taxable income. If we generate income before income taxes in future periods, our conclusion about the realizability of our deferred tax assets, and therefore the appropriateness of the valuation allowance, could change in a future period and we could record a substantial gain on our statement of operations when that occurs.
	Federal net operating loss carryforwards of $5.5 million at December 31, 2013 fully expire in 2033. State net operating loss carryforwards of $15.8 million at December 31, 2013, expire from 2014 through 2033. State net capital losses of $4.1 million at December 31, 2013 expire from 2014 to 2017.
	The future utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations if there is a change in control as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
	As of December 31, 2013, we had no uncertain tax positions and as such, did not have any reserves for uncertain tax positions.
	We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to the tax year ended December 31, 2009. Depending on the jurisdiction, we are no longer subject to state examinations by tax authorities for years prior to the December 31, 2009 tax years. The tax years which remain open to examination in the U.S., our only major taxing jurisdiction, are 2009 through 2013.

	1999 Stock Option Plan
	Our 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”) reserves 1.0 million shares of our common stock for issuance upon exercise of options granted under the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan expired in September 2009, and, accordingly, there were no options available for grant at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, 180,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance related to the 1999 Plan.
	2013 Equity Incentive Plan
	Our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) reserves 1.5 million shares of our common stock for issuance of equity and cash and equity-linked awards to certain management, consultants and others. On June 19, 2013, the Board of Directors granted 300,000 stock options to purchase shares of common stock at a purchase price equal to the closing price of stock on that date.

	We did not record any income tax benefits for stock-based compensation arrangements for the year ended December 31, 2013 or 2012, as we have cumulative operating losses and have established full valuation allowances for our income tax benefits.
	We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This valuation model takes into account the exercise price of the award, as well as a variety of significant assumptions. We believe that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of our stock options. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by persons who receive equity awards. Our options are fully vested upon the date of grant. Accordingly, we recognize the related stock-based compensation expense on the grant date as a component of commissions and salaries on our consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation totaled $131,000 and $0 in 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	The following weighted average assumptions were utilized in determining fair value pursuant to the Black-Scholes option pricing model:
	Year Ended December 31,		2013
	Risk-free interest rate			1.24	%
	Dividend yield			0	%
	Expected lives (years)			5
	Volatility			69.16	%
	Discount for post vesting restrictions			0	%
	No options were granted during 2012.
	The risk-free rate used is based on the U.S. Treasury yield over the expected life of the options granted. Expected lives were estimated using the simplified method, which considers the vesting term and original contract term. The expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of our common stock.
	Shares to be issued upon the exercise of stock options will come from newly issued shares.
	Certain information regarding our stock-based compensation plan was as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
			Year Ended December 31,
			2013				2012
	Weighted average grant-date per share fair value of share options granted		$	0.43			$	—
	Total intrinsic value of share options exercised		$	12.6				—
	Cash received from options exercised		$	43.5				—
	Tax deduction realized related to stock options exercised		$	—				—
	As of December 31, 2013, there was no unrecognized stock-based compensation.

As preliminary hearings and discovery in the remaining cases are not complete, it is not possible to assess the degree of liability, the probability of an unfavorable outcome or the impact on our financial statements, if any. Our management denies the charges in the remaining legal actions and is vigorously defending against them. No provision for any liability that may result from the remaining contingencies has been made in the financial statements.

At December 31, 2013, the required minimum net capital was $464,011. At December 31, 2013, we had net capital of $6,584,250, which was $6,120,239 in excess of our required net capital of $464,011. In addition, we are not allowed to have a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital in excess of 15 to 1. The Rule also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. Our net capital ratio was 1.06 to 1 at December 31, 2013.

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paulson Capital Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary Paulson Capital Properties, LLC and its majority owned subsidiary, Paulson Investment Company, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates regarding the fair value of underwriter warrants, not readily marketable securities and legal reserves are significant estimates and these estimates could change in the near term. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Securities transactions and related commissions revenue, including the sale of investment company shares, are recorded on a trade date basis. Underwriter’s fees and other underwriting revenues are recognized at the time the underwriting is completed. Revenue from sales of other securities including tax deferred units and insurance products is recorded when the units are sold. Revenue from the receipt of underwriter warrants is recognized when the underwriting is completed and the warrants are received based on the estimated fair value of the securities received using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model taking into account the exercise price, remaining life of the warrant, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the risk-free interest rate for the remaining term of the warrant.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Cash
	Cash includes cash on hand and cash on deposit with banks.
Loans and Leases Receivable, Allowance for Loan Losses Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Notes and Other Receivables
	Receivables are reviewed on a regular and continual basis by our management and, if events or changes in circumstances cause us to doubt the collectability of the contractual payments, a receivable will be assessed for impairment. The Company considers a receivable to be impaired when, based on upon current information and events, it believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the receivable agreement. When we determine collection to be doubtful, an allowance for doubtful amounts receivable is recorded and the receivable is placed on a nonperforming (nonaccrual) status. Payments received on nonaccrual receivables are applied first to reduce the outstanding interest, and are then applied to the receivable unless we determine impairment is likely in which case payments are applied to the outstanding receivable balance (cost recovery method).
	Interest received on impaired receivables is recorded using the cash receipts method unless management determines further impairment is probable. No impairment loss is recorded if the carrying amount of the receivable (principal and accrued interest) is expected to be fully recovered through borrower payments and enforcement of action against the borrower's collateral, if any.
	The conclusion that a receivable may become uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a matter of judgment. We do not have a formal risk rating system. Receivables and the related accrued interest are analyzed on an individual and continuous basis for recoverability.
	Delinquencies are determined based upon contractual terms. A provision is made for doubtful accounts to adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts to an amount considered to be adequate, with due consideration to workout agreements, to provide for unrecoverable receivables and receivables, including impaired receivables, other receivables, and accrued interest. Uncollectible receivables and related interest receivable are charged directly to the allowance account once it is determined that the full amount is not collectible.
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Fair Value of Trading and Investment Securities Owned
	Our trading and investment securities owned consist of both marketable securities and not readily marketable securities and are recorded at fair value. Changes in the value of these securities are reflected currently in our results of operations as a component of investment income. See also Notes 7 and 8.
Fair Value Of Underwriter Warrants [Policy Text Block]	'
	Fair Value of Underwriter Warrants and Underwriter Warrants Payable to Employees
	We are required to estimate the value of all securities that we hold at the date of the financial statements and to include that value, and changes in such value, in the financial statements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value of our underwriter warrants is recorded as an asset on our balance sheet. When a new warrant is received, its fair value is included in corporate finance revenue on the date on which it is earned. Subsequently, any change in fair value is recorded as investment income or loss in the period incurred. When a warrant is exercised, the fair value is adjusted to reflect the value of the securities purchased, net of the exercise price, and the adjustment amount is recorded as income or loss for the relevant period. If a warrant expires unexercised, the fair value is adjusted to zero and the decrease is recorded as a loss in the relevant period. Underwriter warrants payable to employees represent warrants that are held by PIC, but are distributable to employees as compensation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Substantially all of our financial instruments are carried at fair value or amounts that approximate fair value. The carrying amounts reflected in the financial statements for cash, receivables and payables approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these items. The fair value of certain long-term notes receivable from employees approximate the carrying value of the receivable due to the employment nature of the receivable. The fair values of securities owned and trading securities sold, not yet purchased, are equal to the carrying value. Changes in the fair value of these securities are reflected currently in our results of operations. The fair value of debt approximates carrying value due to the short term and convertible nature of the obligations. Other than those separately disclosed in Note 7, our remaining financial instruments are generally short-term in nature and their carrying values approximate fair value.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Furniture and Equipment
	Depreciation of furniture and equipment is generally computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (typically 3 or 5 years). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful life or the remaining lives of their related leases.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Income Taxes
	Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
	We recognize benefits for uncertain tax positions if we determine that they are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. Interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits are recognized as tax expense.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares from stock options are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive. Basic earnings per share is the same as diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 since we were in a loss position in both years.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-based compensation cost for equity classified awards is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the fair value of awards. See also Note 11.
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	We had no comprehensive income (loss) items; accordingly, net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) are the same.
