Entrepreneur-ism


On Friday the nation was swept with the new must have "It" item - the Apple iPhone. People started lining up for the iPhone on Thursday to be the first to own and use this multi-chalchkie-in-one item. This trend also spawned (or opened my eyes to) a new entrepreneurial mecca - "the firsts."


Friday afternoon, just before the 6pm opening of registers for the iPhone, people were selling their places in line on Craigslist - spots went for more than the phone! Now, just one day later, people are selling the $499 phone for upwards of $1,500. Triple investment in one day! That's more than entrepreneurism, that's an awesome investmentism.
