EXTRAORDINARY POPULAR DELUSIONS AND THE MADNESS OF CROWDS -- A LA 1999
Priceline.com -- the company that William Shatner is the spokesman for on radio and TV, and which sells you airline tickets at "your price" (as long as you're willing to fly anytime between 6:00 a.m. and midnight on the day you select, and as long as you realize that if your bid is hit you've bought the ticket right then and there, which makes it, shall we say, a bit inconvenient for most travelers) currently sports a market capitalization of $18.3 billion. That's greater than the current market caps of Delta, United and US Air -- combined.
Something's wrong here; something's terribly, terribly wrong...
