ATHM is 3 bucks or so from its IPO price

Wow.
Made me look at the charts. All data split adjusted:

IPO 7/11/1997. Opened at 12 7/16. Closed at 8 1/2.
That was the lowest close in ATHM history. After that the lowest close was 9 1/4.

Took 7 months to finally break out of the trading range between 9 and 14. I've got an ugly feeling we may repeat exactly that.

If you bought at the open 3 years ago on 8/1/97 you would have paid $10. I guess a 35% return in three years isn't bad for a company growing at 200-300%/year. Sigh.

Of course the market cap @13 1/2 was a lot smaller then than it is now. Therein lies a lot of the problem.
