I present you with: <a href="http://money.excite.com/jsp/qt/full.jsp?symbol_search_text=TZOO" rel="nofollow">Travelzoo</a>. Not only is it insanely overvalued - but a bunch of us out there have shares of it that we got for free. Long ago Travelzoo gave away one share if you signed up. If you got someone else to - you received another share, but they capped it at 5 or something like that. You then had to keep up with emails and make sure they had your correct email (really had to read about one email every couple of years). At one point they let you merge shares if you knew someone who'd be willing to give theirs up. I believe they also split after that. They were then over the counter for a while - and now - boom - they're real money. Want the late 90s? I present you with: Travelzoo.
