Yeah their value has doubled, but it's not like it opened at 20/share
Pretty sure Google opened at like $100/share. I'll always remember my first class in college one of the first thing the professor told us was to buy stock in Google.

As for me, somedays I regret taking this promotion at work. I'm sure it will be great for me in the long run just been stressful that last couple months.

Yep, you're right. Maybe it swung immediately into the 400's shortly after opening.

As long as it allows you to keep track of scores for the college basketball fantasy league stick with it. If not you better move back down.
