Well that depends on mining hardware and electricity costs. But according to this it would still yield a profit even at 17$ a bitcoin! Try it!

$17/bitcoin yields a profit at 7M difficulty.  But that doesn't factor in the hardware costs, right, only electrical costs?  And profit of $0.0000000001 is really profit?  Does that factor in the transaction costs for dwolla or mtgox?  Is 'it is still profitable' a reasonable statement, with fees?

What about the investment in hardware?
