Alexadex

I just discovered Alexadex.com, a site in which you buy shares of a site in the hope that it's traffic rank will increase. If it does, the value of your shares in the site increase. Traffic rank is determined by the site's daily reach per million. The total shares available for a site is set at the 100 times the log of pi times the 3 month average reach. No doubt this site is made possible by Alexa's new API. You get $10K to start with when you join. Here's my portfolio: 5 shares of fastmail.fm @ $330 per share, 1 share of Digg.com @ $2580, 2 shares of techcrunch.com @ $500, 2 shares of clickz.com @ $1245, and 183 shares of littlefishbigriver.com at $3 a share. That leaves me $1,700 in cash. Wish me luck.
