We're all Spartacus

Conversations in Another Place have led to realise that if we're all Spartacus (or Brian, for that matter), then supply of Spartaci must have exceeded demand a long time ago. Which means that Spartaci are now a commodity. But after the current Spartaci bubble ends, there'll have to be a bust.

In which case, anyone for a Spartacus Futures Market?

But how do you short Spartacus, or sell Spartacus derivatives?

This has me laughing! As somebody who used to work broker-to-broker, borrowing and lending stock to cover short positions, NEVER sell short.

OH, the horror stories I could tell about people who foolishly sold short!
