The stock is down by a good 40 percent still almost got caught in the half and some of the earlier investors are underwater now meaning that their share or their amount of stocks is worth less today than it is when they bought in certainly very early investors theyll still made quite a fortune but overall all but i did hear how this went on and weve seen this before when we have gold lock up period ending that means that millions of shares are flooding the market and that usually puts pressure on those stocks.
