I don't really know what to think about stock prices, but again I caution that a short squeeze is at their disposal anytime due to the ludicrously strong brand they have. If and when they want, they can come out with a press release per week in association with their many blue chip corporate clients. Add a few "strong buys" and look out above. I should hope the stock would have dropped like a stone, the way they are spreading it around lately. I expect that to continue.
