Is Your Phone Number Worth $40,000? This one might be...

Remember that song by Tommy Tutone from a few years ago called "867-5309 / Jenny"?

Well, a DJ named Spencer Potter owns that number in the 201 area code, and wants to sell it through an auction on eBay. He says people began calling the number as soon as he got it for free five years ago.

And it could be a valuable number indeed.

eBay bidding hit around $5,000 recently, and Potter hopes to walk away with at least $40,000.

Not too shabby.

That would be $5,714.29 per digit (not including the area code). I like those numbers!

The numbers were not so hot in the stock market today, with the Dow down triple digits at 121.7, giving most of yesterday's nice gains right back. The Nasdaq did better, holding on for just a small loss of 1.25 points.

Shipping stocks did well today. Great charts there include: EGLE, EXM, GNK, TBSI, and DSX. Small Golds and certain Biotech stocks remain lucrative as well.

But I found a bombed-out, given-up-for-dead stock (and being practically given away as well) in a different sector today that formed a nice Baffle Play setup, popping over 20% on huge volume. Talk about a cheap stock - its P/E ratio is only 0.89! I'm about to name the stock for my Premium Members.
