Wow! I find it hard to believe though. Anyone wanting to buy mine could have it for way cheaper. Like, $100 would make me jump up and down.

What does everyone think about that?!
$150,000 is ok but 15 million is really a good price!!!! It has an Alexa rank of 43,385 which means there's virtually groups of people on this site at any one time for 24 hours a day.

It is very niche - and that means very focused content which most blogs (including mine) lack!

P.S. WORDPRESS blogs rock!!!!!

Wow. Really a niche blog. Mmm... 144A portals are on the rise, no one is blogging about them yet...mmm. Yeah, right, wishful thinking.

Reminds me of when the music world went crazy to sign up Robbie Williams for 80 million. They must be regreting it now as he's done virtually nothing since!
Bonkers price.

That is a little more than a mere blog. It is like a grad student's entire education on finance and banking. Only a bank could possibly find it worth something. I wouldn't make it past the first post. Boring!

I'm not sure how I could see that this blog is worth $15 million. More people and companies are spending money that they do not even have.

Yeah, next thing we will hear is that the U.S. government is bailing out badly tended to blogs.
