Attain Nirvana: Only $195 a Share
Or perhaps a more affordable Springsteen at $156 a share. The Donnas are an out-and-out steal at $13.99. At the Interactive Music Exchange, you can make actual trades in a futures market for hundreds of artists.

Okay, it's not actual money. Site sponsor IMX provides all new participants with $2 million in funny money to invest in artists on their extensive (though rock and pop oriented) list.

In the company's own words: "It's like the stock market, only it's all about music. We'll give you millions of dollars. Then you buy shares of the artists you like. Invest wisely... It takes some serious music knowledge, a merciless business strategy and a little luck. (Actually, it's all about luck - the other stuff won't do squat.)"

The technology for the exchange, which also is featured on weekly cable TV show, comes from the Hollywood Stock Exchange, where participants can have similar fun trading in the fortunes of stars and their movie projects.
