What I am worth to you: I admit I haven't paid much attention to Blogshares, a fantasy stock market simulator based upon trading shares in weblogs and journals. I fooled around a bit with the game when it was still in beta and, as a result of doing a "leveraged buyout" of Link & Think when I didn't have the cash to support it, I wound up with a negative cash balance when the game went live, effectively keeping me from playing.

Fair enough. I can't really say the concept of the game is interesting enough to hold me, although I know quite a few people are just mad for it. Although I requested that Link & Think be removed from trading (it's a non-profit web project for World AIDS Day, so I feel it's inappropriate to be bought and sold, even for fun), I left Must See HTTP and The Daily Brad up for purchase. Apparently, my sites have made a few people quite "wealthy" as a result. This weblog, which was trading for just pennies a couple of weeks ago, is now listed at nearly $800 per share.

If you happen to own stock in any of The BradLands properties, you might wish to consider selling while the price is that insanely high. If my own real-world portfolio of investments and personal business ventures is any indication, it can't be long before I run this enterprise into the ground. Caveat emptor.
