Classic!

Geez. I just remembered I turned 42 today. Good age to be if it weren't for such a bad case of CRS, even my own birthday gets forgotten.

$1T market cap? Yeah, I remember that one. And remembered it again when the merger happened. My level of incredulity was the same, although I have to confess to having calculated what my options would be worth in a trillion-dollar company and figured out I'd be getting a blurb in Forbes if that ever happened.

Hey, it could still happen. If my math is right, that's only a 1182-bagger from here. Or $3250 per share.

Ponies: A running thing with my daughter has been when we tracked the potential future value of my options we'd measure the performance using ponies. If INSP was way up, she could get a herd of ponies and a barn to put them in (sadly, she's never really wanted horses -- I love them and wanted her to be into them) and if it was down, she might be able to get a little plastic (GI Joe size) pony.

Now we say that if I still had those options, I'd have to sell the farm to cover the loss I'd take in exercising them.
