That wouldn't even pay for 1/4 of A-Rod's salary today

- on paper. i wonder if they would actually command that price at market - chuckles Jul 13, 09:42 8
  - how much would you pay for the US Mint? -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 09:45 1
    - Nothing - if someone was trying to sell it to me, I'd be pretty suspicious that it was stolen. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 10:05

  - If anything, they would sell for more. -- nm - David Jul 13, 09:43 1
    - yeah, seems low to me as well. but it's the number that's getting tossed around... - x Jul 13, 09:46
  - If the Yanks went on the market, I'm sure 1.6bil is the least it'd fetch - Will Hunting Jul 13, 09:43 2
    - I believe the value of YES is included in the 1.6B valuation. - musubi Jul 13, 09:45 1
      - Yeah....they generate like 400mil in revenue a year. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 09:46
- 184x return on investment. -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 09:40
- PPDM! (nm) - musubi Jul 13, 09:39 2
  - it does when you can cash in your chips like that....nm - x Jul 13, 09:40 1
    - but he's *dead* -- nm - Max Jul 13, 09:41
Is it any coincidence that Jack Dawson returns and Steinbrenner dies? Hmmmm? -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 09:38
