Shameless Capitalism

It seems that everybody has been talking about this new Blogshares thing. It's a fantasy stock market for weblogs. Even this humble blog has been listed. I was surprised to find that someone has already bought some LilacRose shares! (Thanks!)

Okay, I admit that I don't know much about the stock market. In fact, any knowledge I have comes from playing the Stock Market board game. And I would usually lose because I would end up with a bunch of shares of International Shoe, with the value sinking like a stone.

I'll check out Blogshares more thoroughly when I get some time. It looks like it could be fun, and it may even serve as a learning tool for stock market know-nothings like myself.
