You're not the only one astounded at the absurd price of the Web's top TV Guide site. Lots of stupid money in the market these days, but hey, if there's enough of it focused in one place, there is money to be made.

Of course, we could use our profits to set up a web site to sell the Treasury's new $20 bills for $15 and make up the diff in advertising. Before you know it, we'll be sitting on a multi-million user base and worth billions too.

..only, unlike Yahoo, user's will have to give us real names and addresses to get their crisp new bills. Then we can use the resulting databases to generate additional money. That way, unlike Yahoo, we'll be better prepared when online advertising revenues drop.

Just a matter of timing before this one crashes big time, but given that it is we online individuals who are bidding these things up, it just may take a while longer.
