Rumors have it that Facebook is being valued at $100 per user by Yahoo (that's literally how they arrived at the billion dollar mark).

I may start a site that offers free porn, cognac and music downloads (legal).

Free stock trades in 2 and a half weeks.

Prediction: trades will start out free, be capped within 6 weeks at 10 trades a month, and will be "free" as in NetZero's concept of "free" within 6 months. At least they didn't call themselves TradeZero or something embarrassing like that when they have to change their minds.

Good question.

I'll add to that prediction: trades will be market orders only.

Exactly. "Guaranteed fills" (2% away from the inside market).
