Just yesterday Salon.com announced they were going to start charging their customers (all 5 of them) for accessing content. Sounded like a real winning idea, huh?

It is small-minded and mean-spirited to gloat over the downfall of an ideological foe.

BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

So call me small-minded and mean-spirited...

They have proposed to charge for their politcal content. Now they are going to lose their last couple of hundred readers.

Great news. Now when a panhandler asks me for a buck, I can give him five shares of Salon and still have a dime left over.

FYI..SALNC is delisted..on the pink sheets.....ergo, there's no market..only a few shares traded daily..so the spread will therefore be bigger...actually, on the pink sheets, the NASDAQ rules of fair practice re mark-ups don't apply....the B/D's are really just doing the customer a favor....at any price.....

They are going to charge $30 a year to read content. How many shares of stock is that? 200?

Now the question. To buy 20 shares of salon.com or get a grande latte at Starbucks. Hmmm...

I don't think it makes a difference. Either way you'll be pissing your money down the toilet.

It's always bad news when a good, interesting publication goes under. Sure, I disagree with great swaths of its content. But Salon also did a lot of first-rate journalism. I fear they're doomed, and I'll be sad to see them go.

Hey, I have an idea! Why don't we pool our pennies together here on FR, and BUY SALON OUT!!!?!???!

I mean, at 16 cents a share, how much would it take to buy the majority of shares? Wouldn't that be TOTALLY COOL?

I'll jump in with a buy order when Salon's market cap drops below $680, the combined salvage value of Jake Tapper & Joe Conason's internal organs.

Buy new improved Salon stock! Now quilted double-ply for extra comfort!

At 16¢, it's still overvalued.
