Mr. Comingle Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 2 minutes ago, KnackChap said: 70 billion is insane. Not really. The share dropped a lot recently due to controversies. From 90 to 60. This purchase is pretty close to ath. Not a huge premium from actual value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
