Swoopo: Tax on Stupidity

Swoopo is like eBay, but you pay to bid.  More details on Wikipedia.

Unfortunately, people are idiots and don’t use common sense when bidding.  Once I’m done my exam, I’ll be working on optimal stategy theories so I too can score a Macbook for $35.

What’s G?

It’s a horrible attempt by Pepsi to rebrand Gatorade.  Why use a letter instead of the very recognizable lightning bolt?  It doesn’t make sense… but then again, these are the same ad wizards that gave us Mtn Dew.

Yeah…. The Bold was too expensive and I didn’t know about the Pre.

Raincheck Exchange

When you get a raincheck from the store, you’re basically buying a call option for the item for a premium of 0.

If you scope out market demand and wanted sale items, you can get rainchecks and wait for the prices to go up and profit handsomly.

I wonder if I should walk across the street and talk to the CME about helping me create a raincheck exchange…

Quick Update

I’m in Chicago and it looks like its gonna be a long while before I can rock the Blackberry Bold.

Other than that, things are looking good.  That is all.
