Too Much Free Time

Too Much Free Time

from the good-ideas dept

If you haven't seen TheGreatCrash.com yet, it's certainly worthwhile. One of the better silly business plans out there since HeyIdiot.com. Also a fairly clever idea. Basically, if you send them $35, they'll send you a T-shirt predicting the great stock market crash of 2000. If the market doesn't crash, they'll send you a new T-shirt for free every year with the updated date until the crash actually does occur. Then they'll put your name on a list of people who correctly predicted the crash. How can they afford this if the crash doesn't occur for some time? By investing the money in the stock market of course... Talk about hedging...
