OC, when are you going to learn your lesson. Like I said, Yahoo is going to make 17th century tulip bulbsa look cheap. Do you know how much tulip bulbs traded for?

>>>In 1636 a Tulip in Amsterdam, it was the rare Viceroy strain, sold for the following price:

Two Lasts of wheat
Four Lasts of Rye
Four Fat Oxen
Eight fat Swine
Twelve Fat Sheep
Two Hogsheads of wine
Four tuns of beer
Two tuns of Butter
One thousand lbs. of cheese
A complete bed
A suit of clothes
A silver drinking cup

The market for Tulips collapsed in November 1636
